validate

Overview ¶

Command validate checks rumble files

Every file is parsed and validated against FORMAT.md. With one or more -region flags the watch addresses are also validated against those regions, the same check NewEngine performs when a host binds a file to a running system. Without -region flags the address check is skipped, since regions come from an emulator's memory map.

With -strict a file must also carry the game, gameid, and system metadata expected of a distributed file. The format leaves all of it optional, so this check belongs here rather than in the parser.

Usage:

validate [-strict] [-region name:start:size]... <file>...

Exit status is 0 when every file passes and 1 when any file fails.
