lintian-explain-tags - offer more information about Lintian's tags
SYNOPSIS
lintian-explain-tags --tags tag ...
DESCRIPTION
The lintian-explain-tags command explains the named tags given on the
command line.
OPTIONS
-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.
EXIT STATUS
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.
