lintian-explain-tags - offer more information about Lintian's tags
lintian-explain-tags --tags tag ...
The
lintian-explain-tags command explains the named tags given on the
command line.
-
-l, --list-tags
- List all tags Lintian knows about in sorted order.
-
-h, --help
- Display usage information and exit.
-
--include-dir dir
- Use dir as an additional "Lintian root". The
directory is expected have a similar layout to the LINTIAN_BASE (if it
exists), but does not need to be a full self-contained root.
Unlike lintian, lintian-explain-tags will not load any
code from these additional directories.
This option may appear more than once; each time adding an additional
directory.
-
--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 that vendor is chosen.
If not specified, lintian-explain-tags loads the best profile for the
current vendor.
Please Refer to the Lintian User Manual for the full documentation of
profiles.
-
-t, --tag, --tags
- This option has no effect. It exists for historical
reasons.
-
--user-dirs, --no-user-dirs
- By default, lintian will check
$HOME and /etc for files supplied by the user
or the local sysadmin (e.g. profiles). This default can be disabled (and
re-enabled) by using --no-user-dirs (and --user-dirs,
respectively).
These option can appear multiple times, in which case the of them to appear
determines the result.
If any of the tags specified were not found in the specified profile (or in the
default profile), this command returns with exit code 1.
When all requested tags were found, it returns with exit code 0.
