🌸 NAME 🌸

Bestie, welcome to Lintian::D...:References(3) — yeah the header truncates the name like that, she's dramatic — from the Debian Package Checker manual set. The actual page is about Lintian::Data::Manual::References, which is the Lintian interface for manual references. That's the whole elevator pitch, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Lintian::Data::Manual::References;

That's it. One line. Iconic behaviour honestly 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: Lintian::Data::Manual::References gives you a way to load data files for manual references. That's the entire job description. It loads, you reference, everybody wins. No cap 🫶

👑 CLASS METHODS 👑

The page serves us these class methods and then simply leaves, because apparently we don't need details:

  • title
  • location
  • separator
  • accumulator
  • markdown_citation
  • markdown_from_manuals
  • markdown_hyperlink

And that is literally all the manual says about them, fr fr — no descriptions, no arguments, no returns. Just names, looking gorgeous. Not me being obsessed with a list of seven methods 😭💖

And that's the page, bestie! This little beauty comes to you as Lintian v2.114.0ubuntu1.8, dated 2026-05-06 — go forth and reference your manuals responsibly 🌟🦋💖
