=head1 NAME
lintian-annotate-hints - give detailed information about Lintian's error tags
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<lintian-annotate-hints> [I<log-file>...]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<lintian-annotate-hints> command parses the EWI output of the
B<lintian> command and gives verbose information about the listed
Lintian tags, or parses a Lintian override file and gives verbose
information about the tags included.
If no log-file is specified on the command line, this command expects
its input on stdin. Thus, the output of B<lintian> can either be piped
through B<lintian-annotate-hints> or a log file produced by B<lintian> can be
processed with this command.
(Note, though, that the B<lintian> command has a command line option
B<-i> to display the same results as B<lintian-annotate-hints>, so you
normally do not need to pipe the output of B<lintian> through this
command to see the extra information.)
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-a>, B<--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.
=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-annotate-hints> 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<annotate-lintian-hint> loads the best profile for the
current vendor.
Please Refer to the Lintian User Manual for the full documentation of
profiles.
=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.
