Input Arguments

file — Path to IBIS-related file

string

Path to the IBIS-related file to validate, specified as a string. The function supports .ibs, .ebd, .pkg, .ami, .ims, .ems, and .emd files.

The file extension determines which parsing mode ibischk uses: .ibs files require no flag, while other extensions use their corresponding flags. For example, you must use the -ami flag for .ami files.

Data Types: string

Output Arguments

output — Full text output from ibischk parser

character vector

Full text output from the ibischk parser, returned as a character vector. It contains the complete parser report including any errors, warnings, and informational messages generated during validation of the input file.
