NAME¶
Lintian::Tag - Lintian interface to tag metadata
SYNOPSIS¶
my $tag = Lintian::Tag->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.
