NAME
       foodcritic - lint tool for chef cookbooks


SYNOPSIS
       foodcritic [options...] cookbook...

       foodcritic [options...] --list


DESCRIPTION
       foodcritic  makes  it easier to flag problems in your Chef cookbooks that will cause Chef to blow up when
       you attempt to converge. This is about faster feedback.

       Each cookbook path specified will be examined for common problems and poor style.


OPTIONS
       -t, --tags TAGS
              Only check against rules with the specified tags. Prefix tags with a tilde ~ to exclude rules.

       -l, --list
              Do not perform a lint check; instead simply list the rules that would  be  enabled  based  on  the
              defaults and the rule selection options (-t, -I)

       -f, --epic-fail TAGS
              Exit  non-zero if any of the specified tags are matched. Use the pseudo-tag any to fail if any tag
              is matched.

       -c, --chef-version VERSION
              Only check against rules valid for this version of Chef.

       -B, --cookbook-path
              Cookbook path(s) to check.

       -C, --[no-]context
              Show lines matched against rather than the default summary.

       -E, --environment-path
              Environment path(s) to check.

       -I, --include PATH
              Additional rule file path(s) to load.

       -R, --role-path
              Role path(s) to check.

       -S, --search-grammar PATH
              Specify grammar to use when validating search syntax. (Default: the grammar of any installed Chef)

       -V, --version
              Display the foodcritic version.

       -X, --exclude PATH
              Exclude path(s) from being linted.


RETURN VALUES
       By default, foodcritic will always return 0.

       If --epic-fail is specified, then foodcritic will return 3 if any tags are matched.
