NAME

       epubcheck - Validation tool for EPUB

SYNOPSIS

       epubcheck file.epub

DESCRIPTION

       All detected errors are simply printed to stderr

       EPUBCheck v4.1.0

       When running this tool, the first argument should be the name (with the path) of the file to check.

       To  specify  a  validation  profile  (to  run  checks  against  a  specific  EPUB  3 profile or extension
       specification), use the -profile option:

       Validation profiles supported:

       --profile default  // the default validation profile

       --profile dict     // validates against the EPUB Dictionaries and Glossaries specification

       --profile edupub   // validates against the EDUPUB Profile

       --profile idx      // validates against the EPUB Indexes specification

       --profile preview  // validates against the EPUB Previews specification

       If checking a non-epub file, the epub version of the file must be specified using -v and the type of  the
       file using -mode.  The default version is: 3.0.

       Modes and versions supported:

       --mode opf -v 2.0

       --mode opf -v 3.0

       --mode xhtml -v 2.0

       --mode xhtml -v 3.0

       --mode svg -v 2.0

       --mode svg -v 3.0

       --mode nav -v 3.0

       --mode mo  -v 3.0  // for Media Overlays validation

       --mode exp         // for expanded EPUB archives

       This tool also accepts the following options:

       --save           = saves the epub created from the expanded epub

       --out <file>     = output an assessment XML document file (use - to output to console)

       --xmp <file>     = output an assessment XMP document file (use - to output to console)

       --json <file>    = output an assessment JSON document file (use - to output to console)

       -m <file>        = same as --mode

       -p <profile>     = same as --profile

       -o <file>        = same as --out

       -x <file>        = same as --xmp

       -j <file>        = same as --json

       --failonwarnings[+|-]  =  By  default,  the  tool  returns a 1 if errors are found in the file or 0 if no
       errors are found.  Using --failonwarnings will cause the process to exit with a status of

              1 if either warnings or errors are present and 0 only when there are no errors or warnings.

       -q, --quiet      = no message on console, except errors, only in the output

       -f, --fatal      = include only fatal errors in the output

       -e, --error      = include only error and fatal severity messages in ouput

       -w, --warn       = include fatal, error, and warn severity messages in output

       -u, --usage      = include ePub feature usage information in output

              (default is OFF); if enabled, usage information will always be included in the output file

       --locale <locale>  = output localized messages according to the provided IETF BCP 47 language tag string.

       -l, --listChecks [<file>]     = list message ids and severity levels to the  custom  message  file  named
       <file>

              or the console

       -c,  --customMessages  [<file>]  = override message severity levels as defined in the custom message file
       named <file>

       --version        = displays the EPUBCheck version

       -h, -? or --help = displays this help message

         Most of the EpubCheck functionality comes from the schema validation tool Jing and  schemas  that  were
         developed by IDPF and DAISY. Initial EpubCheck development was largely done at Adobe Systems.

         This  manual  page was written by Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux system,
         but may be used by others.
