Hypothetical valid file:

% csaf validate minimal_whatever.json

Help

% csaf template --help

 Usage: csaf template [OPTIONS]

 Write a template of a well-formed JSON configuration to standard out and
 exit
 The strategy for looking up configurations is to start at the current
 working directory trying to read a file with the name `.csaf.json` else try
 to read same named file in the user folder (home).
 In case an explicit path is given to the config option of commands that
 offer it, only that path is considered.
