Performs a check that will verify that the library instance implements the library specified in the dsc by ensuring a LIBRARY_CLASS definition exists in the INF [Defines] section and the value matches the library it says it is implementing.
That is to say, for the following example:
TestLib|Path/To/BaseTestLib.inf, that BaseTestLib.inf has LIBRARY_CLASS = TestLib defined in the [Defines] section.
[ ] Breaking change?
Breaking change - Will this cause a break in build or boot behavior?
Examples: Add a new library class or move a module to a different repo.
[ ] Impacts security?
Security - Does the change have a direct security impact?
Examples: Crypto algorithm change or buffer overflow fix.
[ ] Includes tests?
Tests - Does the change include any explicit test code?
Examples: Unit tests or integration tests.

Integration Instructions
While no Integration is required, a new build warning will be seen in the build log. The warning is in the following format:
$(DSC_PATH): warning: $(INF) does not support LIBRARY_CLASS $(LIBRARY_CLASS) where $(DSC_PATH) is the DSC being built, $(INF) is the INF described in the DSC, and $(LIBRARY_CLASS) is the name of the library class that the INF is attempting to represent. (i.e., $(LIBRARY_CLASS)|$(INF) or TestLib|Path\to\BaseTestLib.inf).
To resolve these errors, verify the library class is real (The Library class should have a header file associated with it in the DEC of the defining package). If it is real, then ensure the library instance truly implements the library class and add it to the DEFINE section of the library INF. If not, update the DSC to use the correct library class.
If this warning appears, it will appear at the beginning of the build command:
