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¶

other attributes (such as whether experimental is set). This code will
never be "O" or
"X"; overrides and experimental tags are
handled separately.
