Lintian::Processable::Overrides

    use Lintian::Processable;
    my $processable = Lintian::Processable::Binary->new;

Lintian::Processable::Overrides provides an interface to package data for overrides.

add_overrides

overrides(OVERRIDE-FILE)

Read OVERRIDE-FILE and add the overrides found there which match the metadata of the current file (package and type). The overrides are added to the overrides hash in the info hash entry for the current file.

file_start() must be called before this method. This method throws an exception if there is no current file and calls fail() if the override file cannot be opened.
