NAME

       sdml validate - Validate that a module is correct.

SYNOPSIS

       sdml validate [OPTIONS] [MODULE]

DESCRIPTION

       Validate that a module is correct.

       This  command provides deep validation of a module's content, including errors, warnings, and linter-like
       advice. Checks are run not only on the initial module, but it's transitively loaded dependencies.

       By default the command only shows diagnostics with severity `bug` and `error`,  but  `warning`,  `notes`,
       and  `help`  can  be  output  with the `--level` argument. This argument also takes the values `none` and
       `all`.

       ```text ??? sdml validate --level all -i  examples/errors/i0506.sdm  note[I0506]:  identifier  not  using
       preferred  casing ?????? examples/errors/i0506.sdm:1:8 ??? 1 ??? module Example <https://example.com/api>
       is ???        ^^^^^^^ this identifier ??? = expected snake case (snake_case) = help:  for  more  details,
       see <https://sdml.io/errors/#I0506>

       note[I0506]:  identifier  not  using  preferred  casing  ??????  examples/errors/i0506.sdm:3:13 ??? 3 ???
       structure access_record is ???             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this identifier ??? = expected upper camel  case
       (UpperCamelCase) = help: for more details, see <https://sdml.io/errors/#I0506> ```

       The  `check-constraints`  option  turns  on  (it's  default  is  off)  the  checking  of  constraints for
       correctness.

       Additionally, a `short-form` option will generate diagnostics using a CSV format that is easier for tools
       to parse. The fields in this format are: severity, file name, start line, start  column,  end  line,  end
       column, error code, and message.

       ```text     ???     sdml    validate    --level    all    --short-form    -i    examples/errors/i0506.sdm
       note,examples/errors/i0506.sdm,1,8,1,15,I0506,identifier      not      using       preferred       casing
       note,examples/errors/i0506.sdm,3,13,3,26,I0506,identifier not using preferred casing ```
