LINTIAN-ANNOTATE-HINTS(1) Debian Package Checker LINTIAN-ANNOTATE-HINTS(1)
NAME
lintian-annotate-hints - give detailed information about Lintian's
error tags
SYNOPSIS
lintian-annotate-hints [log-file...]
DESCRIPTION
The lintian-annotate-hints command parses the EWI output of the lintian
command and gives verbose information about the listed Lintian tags, or
parses a Lintian override file and gives verbose information about the
tags included.
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-annotate-hints 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-annotate-hints, so you normally do
not need to pipe the output of lintian through this command to see the
extra information.)
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.
--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-annotate-hints 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, annotate-lintian-hint loads the best profile for
the current vendor.
Please Refer to the Lintian User Manual for the full documentation
of profiles.
--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.
