Behavior

Validate a Policy definition in its selected Policy Pack.

The project must select the Policy Pack that owns the Policy, or --policy-pack must name its source directory for this command only. Use <policy-pack>.policy.<name>, <policy-pack>/<name>, or a bare name when it resolves unambiguously.

The text or JSON result goes to standard output. Diagnostics go to standard error.

Exit status

Status	Description
0	the definition is valid
1	the definition is not valid, or no definition has that name
2	the command was used incorrectly
3	rootform.lock is invalid or the name is ambiguous
4	rootform.lock or definitions could not be read, or the report could not be written
