💖 NAME 💖

Lintian::Data::Authorities — Lintian's Reference Authorities, bestie 💅

(it's a page from the Debian Package Checker manual, and honestly? iconic.)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $data = Lintian::Data->new;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: Lintian::Data::Authorities handles finding, parsing and implementation of Lintian reference authorities. that's literally it, that's its whole job, and it does it flawlessly no cap 🫶

👑 INSTANCE METHODS 👑

these are the methods, one per bullet, in the exact order the page lists them (yes, menu_policy shows up twice — that's what the page says, and we do not gatekeep, we do not edit 😌):

  • markdown_authority_reference
  • debconf_specification
  • developer_reference
  • doc_base_manual
  • filesystem_hierarchy_standard
  • java_policy
  • lintian_manual
  • menu_manual
  • menu_policy
  • menu_policy
  • perl_policy
  • policy_manual
  • python_policy
  • vim_policy

fourteen entries, two of them twins, we love a quirky list 💜
