 <FILE|DIR>    a record file or a directory with record files(scanned recursively)
 -legacy       do validation in legacy mode, is less strict and is not allowed for new records.
 -db           DEVELOPER FREATURE. After validation and serialisation tests, record is retrieved from database and converted
               back to string and compared with original content. Requires a working MassBank MariaDB container.

 <FILE|DIR>           a record file or a directory with record files(scanned recursively)
