Lintian::Tag::Info: Lintian interface to tag metadata
NAME
Lintian::Tag::Info - Lintian interface to tag metadata
SYNOPSIS
my $taginfo = Lintian::Tag::Info->new;
DESCRIPTION
This module provides an interface to tag metadata as gleaned from the *.desc files describing the checks. It can be used to retrieve specific metadata elements or to format the tag description.INSTANCE METHODS
- tag
- original_severity
- effective_severity
- check
- check_type
- experimental
- info
- references
- aliases
- load(PATH)
- Loads a tag description from PATH.
- code()
- Returns the one-letter code for the tag. This will be a letter chosen from "E", "W", "I", or "P", based on the tag severity, and other attributes (such as whether experimental is set). This code will never be "O" or "X"; overrides and experimental tags are handled separately.
- description([FORMAT [, INDENT]])
-
Returns the formatted description (the Info field) for a tag. FORMAT must
be either "text" or "html" and defaults to "text" if no format is
specified. If "text", returns wrapped paragraphs formatted in plain text
with a right margin matching the Text::Wrap default, preserving as
verbatim paragraphs that begin with whitespace. If "html", return
paragraphs formatted in HTML.
If INDENT is specified, the string INDENT is prepended to each line of the formatted output.
