Use when you need to validate VCF files for format compliance and detect issues like duplicate positions.
vcf-validator [OPTIONS] file.vcf.gz/home/vimalinx/miniforge3/envs/bio/bin/vcf-validatorreferences/help.md# 1) Basic validation
vcf-validator file.vcf.gz
# 2) Warn about duplicate positions too
vcf-validator -d file.vcf.gz
# 3) Show each message type only once
vcf-validator -u file.vcf.gz
-d if positional duplication is a concern in your workflow.-u for noisy failure cases so you can see the distinct categories of problems quickly.--version is not supported in the usual way; use -h for interface help.-u is useful for triage but should not replace a full review.
