YANGLINT(1) General Commands Manual YANGLINT(1)

NAME

yanglint - YANG lint tool

SYNOPSIS

yanglint
yanglint [OPTIONS] [-f { yang | yin | tree } ] FILE ...
yanglint [OPTIONS] [-f { xml | json } ] SCHEMA... FILE...

DESCRIPTION

yanglint is a command-line tool for validating and converting YANG schemas and the YANG modeled data. For a simple use, it validates the provided file and if the output format specified, it converts input data into the output format. If started with no argument, yanglint opens interactive environment where the user is allowed to work with schemas and data in a more complex way.

OPTIONS

Outputs usage help and exits.
Outputs the version number and exits.
Increases the verbosity level. If not specified, only errors are printed, with each appearance it adds: warnings, verbose messages, debug messages (if compiled with debug information).
Specifies search path for getting imported modules or included submodules. The option can be used multiple times. The current working directory and path of the module being added is used implicitly.
Changes handling of unknown data nodes - instead of silently ignoring unknown data, error is printed and data parsing fails. This option applies only on data parsing.
Converts the content of the input FILEs into the specified FORMAT. If no OUTFILE is specified, the data are printed on the standard output. Only the compatible formats for the input FILEs are allowed, see the section FORMATS.
Writes the output data into the specified OUTFILE. The option can be used only in combination with --format option. In case of converting schema, only a single input schema FILE is allowed. In case of data input FILEs, input is merged and printed into a single OUTFILE.
Specifies the list of enabled features in the format MODULE:[FEATURE,...]. In case of processing multiple modules, the option can be used repeatedly. To disable all the features, use an empty list specified for the particular module.
Print data with default values, according to the MODE (to print attributes, the ietf-netconf-with-defaults model must be loaded). The MODE is one of the following:
• all - add missing default nodes
• all-tagged - add missing default nodes and mark all the default nodes with the attribute
• trim - remove all nodes with a default value
• implicit-tagged - add missing nodes and mark them with the attribute
Specify data tree type in the input data FILEs. The TYPE is one of the following:
• auto - Resolve data type (one of the following) automatically (as pyang does). Applicable only on XML input data.
• data - Complete datastore with status data (default type).
• config - Configuration datastore (without status data).
• get - Result of the NETCONF <get> operation.
• getconfig - Result of the NETCONF <get-config> operation.
• edit - Content of the NETCONF <edit-config> operation.
• rpc - Content of the NETCONF <rpc> message, defined as YANG's rpc input statement.
• rpcreply - Reply to the RPC. This is just a virtual TYPE, for parsing replies, 'auto' must be used since the data FILEs are expected in pairs.
The first input data FILE is expected as 'rpc' TYPE, the second FILE is expected as reply to the previous RPC.
• notif - Notification instance (content of the <notification> element without <eventTime>.
Optional parameter for 'rpc' and 'notif' TYPEs, the FILE contains running configuration datastore and state data referenced from the RPC/Notification. The same data apply to all input data FILEs. Note that the file is validated as 'data' TYPE. Special value '!' can be used as FILE argument to ignore the external references.
Specify path to a yang-library data file (XML or JSON) describing the initial context. If provided, yanglint loads the modules according to the content of the yang-library data tree. Otherwise, an empty content with only the internal libyang modules is used. This does not limit user to load another modules explicitly specified as command line parameters.

FORMATS

There are two types of formats to use.

In case of schemas, the content can be converted into the 'yang', 'yin' and 'tree' formats. As input, only YANG and YIN files are accepted. Note, that the corresponding file extension is required.
and 'json' formats. Remember that the corresponding file extension of the input file is required.

EXAMPLES

•
Open interactive environment:
yanglint
•
Convert YANG model into YIN and print it to the stdout:
yanglint --format=yin ./ietf-system.yang
•
Convert ietf-system configuration data from XML to JSON:
yanglint --format=json --type=config --output=data.json ./ietf-system.yang ./data.xml
