# Validate configuration

Canonical: https://hypaware.ai/docs/cli-reference/validate-configuration

```text
hyp config <subcommand> [args...]
```

Use `hyp config --help` to list configuration operations:

```sh
hyp config --help
```

## `hyp config validate`

```text
hyp config validate [file]
```

Loads the effective configuration or an explicit file and cross-validates
plugin, dataset, source, and sink contracts. It is read-only. Validation
failures return `1` with detailed pointers.

```sh
hyp config validate ./hypaware-config.json
```
