Administering HP-UX IPQoS
Verifying a Configuration File
Chapter 5 87
Verifying a Configuration File
To verify a configuration file, use the -verify option 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 -verify of another configuration is run.
If successful, the exit status returned to the shell (“$?”) from running ipqosadmin -verify is
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.
