secfixes-check1

A linter for alpine linux's secfixes declarations in apkbuilds

Usage

secfixes-check <apkbuild ... >

Overview

secfixes-check is a linter for secfixes declarations inside APKBUILDs. It reads the file given in each command-line argument and checks for policy violations for secfixes and also validate the yaml by trying to load it with the 'lyaml' module from lua. See alint(5) under the secfixes-check section for an explanation of each violation that secfixes-checks for.

secfixes-check will print the policy violations, and exit with the code that correspond to the number of violations found, if no violations are found nothing is printed and secfixes-check will exit with code 0.
