💅 lrc — the license vibe-check page, section 1 of the manual, bestie

okay so picture this: it's lrc(1), it lives in manual section 1, and it's here to be your emotional support license auditor. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lrc — Check licenses listed in a DEP-5 debian/copyright file against licenses reported by licensecheck.

like, it's giving "who's lying, the copyright file or the scanner?" and honestly it's so iconic for that. 🕵️♀️💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lrc [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Use -h or -? to display detailed description.

that's it, that's the whole description, the ReadMe is doing the heavy lifting bestie 💀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

okay so real talk: Options are case-insensitive. Invalid options are ignored. no cap, lrc will simply not fight you about it. 🙈

  • -?, -h, or --help — Writes the ReadMe file to stdout.
  • -l, or --long — Output is generated for every file where licensecheck detects the license, not just those with license discrepancies. so like, the full tea, not just the drama. ☕✨
  • -f, or --format — Formatted output. Outputs the debian/copyright licence, licensecheck license, and filename on three separate lines, followed by one blank line. Headers and summary lines are suppressed. Version info is not output unless specified via -v option.
  • -s, or --short — Where blocks of files with identical license differences would be output, only the first file is shown. Overrides -l (if specified). lowkey the "we get it, move on" flag 🫶
  • -v, or --version — Writes the version numbers of licenserecon and licenscheck to stdout, then exits.
  • -x, or --spdx — Expects SPDX style license short names. (Default is debian DEP 5 short names)

🚫 EXCLUSIONS 🚫

False positives may suppressed by creating a file debian/lrc.config

List in the file, the file names and/or directories to be excluded.

Also, license aliases can be added.

The syntax for the file is described in /usr/share/lrc/lrc.config

not me making a whole config file just to tell the false positives to leave me alone 😭 but honestly? self care.
