Administering HP-UX IPQoS
Verifying a Configuration File
Verifying a Configuration File
To verify a configuration file, use the -verifyoption of ipqosadmin. This option verifies the specified configuration file for syntactical correctness. It does not load the configuration and it has no impact on the state of HP-UX IPQoS. If a configuration is active, it continues to be active even after the -verifyof another configuration is run.
If successful, the exit status returned to the shell (“$?”) from running ipqosadmin -verifyis 0, otherwise it returns 1.
Syntax
ipqosadmin -v[erify] -f[ile]filename [-verbose]
Options
-f[ile] filename
Specifies the HP-UX IPQoS configuration file to be verified. You can specify a relative or absolute path for filename.
This is a required argument.
Default: (Not applicable)
If filename is specified as a dash (-) the input file is stdin. In this case you can specify multiple files to be verified and they will be processed by ipqosadmin as if they were one configuration file equivalent to concatenating the individual files in the order specified. For example, you can specify:
#cat file1 file2 ipqosadmin -verify -f -
[-verbose]
Informative messages are displayed.
Default: Not specified.
When not specified (the default case) informative messages are not displayed.
