description
The
lintian-info command parses the output of the
lintian command and gives verbose information about
the listed Lintian error tags, parses a Lintian override
file and gives verbose information about the tags included,
or (if given the -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, though, that the lintian command has
a command line option -i to display the same
results as lintian-info, so you will not normally
need to pipe the output of lintian into this
command.)
options
-a,
--annotate
Read from standard input or any
files specified on the command line and search the input for
lines formatted like Lintian override entries. For each one
that was found, display verbose information about that
tag.
-h,
--help
Display usage information and
exit.
--profile
prof
Use the severities from the
vendor profile prof when displaying tags. If the profile
name does not contain a slash, the default profile for than
vendor is chosen.
If not
specified, lintian-info loads the best profile for
the current vendor.
Please Refer to
the Lintian User Manual for the full documentation of
profiles.
-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 -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.
