NAME

       Lintian::Tag - Lintian interface to tag metadata

SYNOPSIS

           my $tag = Lintian::Tag->new;

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides an interface to tag metadata as gleaned from the *.desc files
       describing the checks.  It can be used to retrieve specific metadata elements or to format
       the tag description.

INSTANCE METHODS

       name
       visibility
       check
       name_spaced
       show_always
       experimental
       explanation
       see_also
       renamed_from
       profile
       load(PATH)
           Loads a tag description from PATH.

       code()
           Returns the one-letter code for the tag.  This will be a letter chosen from "E", "W",
           "I", or "P", based on the tag visibility, and other attributes (such as whether
           experimental is set).  This code will never be "O" or "X"; overrides and experimental
           tags are handled separately.
