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

       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.
