.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBpkglint\fR runs a series of checks on one or more package manifests, optionally referencing another repository\&.
.sp
.LP
\fBpkglint\fR should be used during the package authoring process, prior to package publication\&. \fBpkglint\fR performs exhaustive testing on the manifests that might be too expensive to perform during normal operation of \fBpkgsend\fR or \fBpkg\&.depotd\fR\&. \fBpkglint\fR checks include tests for duplicate actions, missing attributes, and unusual file permissions\&.
.sp
.LP
Manifests for linting can be passed as a space-separated list of local files on the command line, or manifests can be retrieved from a repository\&.
.sp
.LP
When retrieving manifests from repositories, on first run \fBpkglint\fR creates and populates \fBpkg\fR(5) user images in the specified cache directory\&. If the \fB-r\fR option is supplied, a user image named \fIcache_dir\fR\fB/ref_image\fR is created for the reference repository\&. If the \fB-l\fR option is supplied, a user image named \fIcache_dir\fR\fB/lint_image\fR is created for the lint repository\&. No content is installed in these images\&. These images are only used by \fBpkglint\fR to retrieve manifests from the repositories\&.
.sp
.LP
Subsequent invocations of \fBpkglint\fR can reuse the cache directory and can omit any \fB-r\fR or \fB-l\fR arguments\&.
.sp
.LP
\fBpkglint\fR provides limited support for configuring publishers in the cache directory\&. Use \fBpkg\fR to perform more complex publisher configuration on these images\&.
.sp
.LP
\fBpkglint\fR allows package authors to bypass checks for a given manifest or action\&. A manifest or action that contains the attribute \fBpkg\&.linted\fR set to \fBTrue\fR does not produce any lint output for that manifest or action\&.
.sp
.LP
More granular \fBpkg\&.linted\fR settings can be made using substrings of \fBpkglint\fR check names\&. For example, \fBpkg\&.linted\&.\fIcheck\fR\&.\fIid\fR\fR set to \fBTrue\fR bypasses all checks with the name \fB\fIcheck\fR\&.\fIid\fR\fR for the given manifest or action\&.
.sp
.LP
The behavior of \fBpkglint\fR can be configured by specifying a\fBpkglintrc\fR file\&. By default, \fBpkglint\fR searches in \fB/usr/share/lib/pkg/pkglintrc\fR and \fB$HOME/\&.pkglintrc\fR for configuration options\&. Use the \fB-f\fR option to specify a different configuration file\&.
.sp
.LP
During the lint run, any errors or warnings encountered are printed to \fBstderr\fR\&.

.SH FILES
.sp
.LP
The \fBpkglintrc\fR configuration file takes the following key/value arguments:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBlog_level\fR\fR
.ad
.br
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The minimum level at which to emit lint messages\&. Lint messages lower than this level are discarded\&. The default value is \fBINFO\fR\&.
.sp
Log levels in order of least to most severe are \fBDEBUG\fR, \fBINFO\fR, \fBWARNING\fR, \fBERROR\fR, and \fBCRITICAL\fR\&.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBdo_pub_checks\fR\fR
.ad
.br
.sp .6
.RS 4n
If \fBTrue\fR, perform checks that might only make sense for published packages\&. The default value is \fBTrue\fR\&.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBpkglint\&.ext\&.\fR*\fR
.ad
.br
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The plugin mechanism of \fBpkglint\fR allows for additional lint modules to be added at runtime\&. Any key that starts with \fBpkglint\&.ext\&.\fR takes a value that must be a fully-specified Python module\&. See the "Developers" section for more information\&.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBpkglint\&.exclude\fR\fR
.ad
.br
.sp .6
.RS 4n
A space-separated list of fully specified Python modules, classes, or function names to omit from the set of checks performed\&.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBuse_progress_tracker\fR\fR
.ad
.br
.sp .6
.RS 4n
If \fBTrue\fR, use a progress tracker when iterating over manifests during lint runs\&. The default value is \fBTrue\fR\&.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBversion\&.pattern\fR\fR
.ad
.br
.sp .6
.RS 4n
A version pattern, used when specifying a build number to lint against (\fB-b\fR)\&. If not specified in the configuration file, the \fB-b\fR option uses the pattern \fB*,5\&.11-0\&.\fR, matching all components of the 5\&.11 build, with a branch prefix of 0\&.
.RE
.SH DEVELOPERS
.sp
.LP
To extend the set of checks performed by \fBpkglint\fR, subclass \fBpkg\&.lint\&.base\&.Checker\fR and its subclasses, \fBManifestChecker\fR, \fBActionChecker\fR, and \fBContentChecker\fR\&. Add the Python module name that contains those classes to a new \fBpkglint\&.ext\&.\fR key in the configuration file\&.
.sp
.LP
Instances of those new subclasses are created by \fBpkglint\fR on startup\&. Methods inside each subclass with the special keyword argument \fBpkglint_id\fR are invoked during the course of the lint session\&. Those methods should have the same signature as the corresponding \fBcheck()\fR method in the super class\&. Methods should also be assigned a \fBpkglint_desc\fR attribute, which is used as the description printed by \fBpkglint -L\fR\&.
.sp
.LP
Parameters are available to \fBChecker\fR subclasses, allowing them to tune their behavior\&. The recommended parameter naming convention is \fB\fIpkglint_id\fR\&.\fIname\fR\fR\&. Parameter values can be stored in the configuration file, or accessed in manifests or actions retrieved using the \fBLintEngine\&.get_param()\fR method\&. When accessing parameters from the manifest, the prefix \fBpkg\&.lint\fR is prepended to the key name to ensure that \fBpkglint\fR parameters do not overlap with any existing action or manifest values\&.
