SYNOPSIS
       lintian-info [log-file...] ...

       lintian-info --tags tag ...


DESCRIPTION
       The lintian-info command parses the output of the lintian command and
       gives verbose information about the listed Lintian error tags, parses a
       Lintian override file and gives verbose information about the tags
       included, or (if given the -t or --tags option) explains a given tag or
       tags.

       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-info 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-info, so
       you will not normally need to pipe the output of lintian into this
       command.)


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.


       -t, --tags
              Rather than treating them as log file names, treat any command-
              line options as tag names and display the descriptions of each
              tag.


EXIT STATUS
       If -t or --tags was given and one or more of the tags specified were
       unknown, this command returns the exit code 1.  Otherwise, it always
       returns with exit code 0.
