rpslcheck(1)rpslcheck(1)NAMErpslcheck-- an RPSL syntax checker
SYNOPSISrpslcheck [flags]
DESCRIPTIONrpslcheck 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. <proto‐
col> 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 communica‐
tion 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
