+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<lintian-explain-tags> command explains the named tags given on
+the command line.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+

+
+=item B<-l>, B<--list-tags>
+
+List all tags Lintian knows about in sorted order.
+
+=item B<-h>, B<--help>
+
+Display usage information and exit.
+
+=item B<--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 B<lintian>, B<lintian-explain-tags> will I<not> load any code from
+these additional directories.
+
+This option may appear more than once; each time adding an additional
+directory.
+
+=item B<--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, B<lintian-explain-tags> loads the best profile for the
+current vendor.
+
+Please Refer to the Lintian User Manual for the full documentation of
+profiles.
+
+=item B<-t>, B<--tag>, B<--tags>
+
+This option has no effect. It exists for historical reasons.
+
+=item B<--user-dirs>, B<--no-user-dirs>
+
+By default, B<lintian> will check I<$HOME> and I</etc> for files
+supplied by the user or the local sysadmin (e.g. profiles).  This
+default can be disabled (and re-enabled) by using B<--no-user-dirs>
+(and B<--user-dirs>, respectively).
+
+These option can appear multiple times, in which case the of them
+to appear determines the result.
