RDWINVALIDATE

RDWINVALIDATE is a tool or utility associated with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or related distributions. Its primary function is to validate or verify the integrity and correctness of the Red Hat Document Viewer (RDViewer), which is a component used for displaying documentation within the RHEL environment. When issues arise with how documentation is rendered or accessed, running RDWINVALIDATE can help identify and potentially resolve underlying problems with the RDViewer's configuration or associated files.

The tool likely examines various aspects of the RDViewer installation and its dependencies. This could include checking for corrupted or missing files, verifying configuration settings, and ensuring that all necessary libraries and components are present and functioning correctly. The output of RDWINVALIDATE typically provides diagnostic information, indicating whether the RDViewer is considered valid or if specific issues have been detected. Users might be instructed to run this command as a troubleshooting step when encountering problems with accessing or viewing man pages, documentation guides, or other system help resources. The exact implementation and usage details may vary slightly between different versions of RHEL.
