rpslcheck(1)           DragonFly General Commands Manual          rpslcheck(1)


NAME

       rpslcheck -- an RPSL syntax checker


SYNOPSIS

       rpslcheck [flags]


DESCRIPTION

       rpslcheck syntax-checks an RPSL object. If the object passes
       rpslcheck's syntax check it will not cause errors to any of the tools
       in IRRToolSet, such as rtconfig. However, the syntax constraints of a
       particular IRR can differ from the ones in RPSL.

       The input can be supplied via "-as <ASnum>" option (only AS-numbers).
       If no option is specified the object is expected on standard input. The
       input can contain multiple objects.

IRRToolSet COMMON OPTIONS

              -help  Print summary of command-line options and exit.

              -T [whois_query | whois_response | input | all]
                     Trace the argument. Useful for debugging.

              -D <integer>
                     Print debugging messages of debug channel <integer> (if
                     compiled with ENABLE_DEBUG defined).

              -version
                     Print the version number and quit.

              -h <host-name>
                     Establish a whois connection to host <host-name>.  The
                     default is whois.radb.net

              -p <port-no>
                     Establish a whois connection to port <port-no>.  The
                     default is 43.

              -protocol <protocol>
                     Use the <protocol> to connect to the IRR server.
                     <protocol> can be irrd(rawhoisd) or ripe(bird). The
                     default is irrd.

              -s <source-list>
                     Consider the sources specified in the comma separated
                     <source-list>.  If an object is defined in multiple
                     sources in <source-list>, rpslcheck uses the definition
                     first encountered in <source-list> from left to right.

              -rusage
                     Print resource usage upon completion.

              -ignore_errors
                     Do not print error and warning messages due to
                     communication to the database server or parsing policy
                     objects.

              -report_errors
                     Print error and warning messages due to communication to
                     the database server or parsing policy objects.


OTHER OPTIONS


              -as <as-no>
                     Syntax check the aut-num object for <as-no>.  If this
                     option is not supplied, stdin is parsed.

              -echo  Print the aut-num object before matching.


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES


              IRR_HOST
                     Specifies the IRR host to connect.

              IRR_PORT
                     Specifies the IRR port number to connect.

              IRR_SOURCES
                     Specifies the source list (comma separated) to consider.

       Command line options take precedence over environment variables.


EXAMPLES

            % ./rpslcheck < as226.txt
            Congratulations no errors were found in parsing AS226
            % rpslcheck -as AS3130
            Congratulations no errors were found in parsing AS3130
            % rpslcheck -as AS86
            Error: *it: AS701 192.41.177.6/32 192.41.177.249 (pref=MED) ANY
            Error:                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


ERROR AND WARNING MESSAGES

       Error: no object for AS <as_no>

              Aut-num object for <as_no> is not found in specified IRR for
              specified source. You could have mistyped the source, hostname
              or AS-number, or perhaps the object does not exist.
