NAME
lintian-info - give detailed information about Lintian's error tags
SYNOPSIS
lintian-info
[log-file]
...
lintian-info --tags
tag
...
DESCRIPTION
The
lintian-info
command either parses the output of the
lintian
command and gives verbose information about the listed Lintian error
tags or (if given the
R -t or --tags
option) explains a given tag or tags.
If no log-file is specified on the command line, this command expects
its input on stdin. Thus, the output of
lintian
can either be piped through
lintian-info
or a log file produced by
lintian
can be processed with this command. (Note, that the
lintian
command has a command line option
-i
to automatically pipe its output through
R lintian-info .
Thus, you will rarely use this command directly.)
OPTIONS
R -t , --tags
Rather than treating them as log file names, treat any command-line
options as tag names and display the descriptions of each tag.
EXIT STATUS
If
R -t or --tags
was given and one or more of the tags specified were unknown, this command
returns the exit code 1. Otherwise, it always returns with exit code 0.
