B.6.2 Examples

Here are some examples of datalinklint:

stilts datalinklint votable=links-response.vot

Perfoms validation on a VOTable file that has been downloaded from a DataLink links service, and reports the results to standard output.

stilts datalinklint votable=http://example.org/links?ID=2112
                    truncate=80 report=EW

Validates a links response directly from the server, testing the HTTP transport requirements as well as the content. Output lines are truncated to 80 characters for convenience, and only the E(rror) and W(arning) lines are displayed.

The output of this invocation might look like:

This is the STILTS DataLink validator, 3.1-3
E-DLCT-1 Incorrect Content-Type text/xml for DataLink service http://example....
E-RUCD-1 Wrong UCD for column service_def; meta.code != meta.ref
E-SMCO-1 Unknown predicate 'alternative' from core DataLink vocabulary at row 1
E-SMCO-2 Unknown predicate 'alternative' from core DataLink vocabulary at row 2

Totals: Errors: 4; Warnings: 0
    

To output in JSON format instead, you could specify format=json.
