B.9.2 Examples

Here are some examples of parqlint:

stilts parqlint qat2s.parquet

Runs all checks on the named parquet file. Reports will be written to standard output.

stilts parqlint in=1909180027-all.parquet report=E voparquet=true
       ucd=false unit=false

Runs checks on a parquet file expected to comply to the VOParquet conventions, but only reporting Errors, not Warning or Info reports, and ignoring reports about invalid ucd or unit attributes in the VOTable. The voparquet=true makes lack of a data-less VOTable show up as an Error; if it was not specified a non-VOParquet file would generate no output here.

stilts parqlint in=op12.parquet votable=op12.vot

Runs checks on a parquet file but with the data-less VOTable specified externally. By doing this you can iteratively play around with the VOTable annotations until you're happy with the validation output, rather than having to keep generating a new VOParquet file every time you want to make a test. Note that the VOTable can be extracted from an existing VOParquet file if required using the parqlook command.
