Lintian::D...emHierarchy(3)

πŸ’– Lintian::D...emHierarchy(3) πŸ’–

okay bestie, grab a boba πŸ§‹ because we're reading a manpage from the Debian Package Checker Lintian collection, and it lives in section 3 of the manual (that's the "library functions" girlies, iykyk). This one's short, sweet, and honestly a little mysterious β€” like a group chat where someone only sent the emoji reactions and no context. Let's go πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

Lintian::Data::Authority::FilesystemHierarchy β€” an interface for manual references. That's it, that's the whole name, periodt.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so like, here's how you'd pull it in:

use Lintian::Data::Authority::FilesystemHierarchy;

literally one line bestie, she's low maintenance πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

Lintian::Data::Authority::FilesystemHierarchy provides a way to load data files for manual references. That's the whole vibe β€” it's the thing that goes and fetches the data files, so the manual references have something to point at. no cap, that's the entire description the manpage gives us, and we're not about to invent extra lore πŸ‘‘


πŸ‘‘ CLASS METHODS πŸ‘‘

okay so this section is it's giving "list of names with zero elaboration," and that's fine because we're being 100% faithful:

  • title
  • shorthand
  • location
  • separator
  • consumer
  • markdown_citation
  • write_line
  • write_data_file
  • extract_sections_from_links
  • refresh

that's all ten of them, in order, exactly as they appear 🫢
