Lintian::Hint::Pointed(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Lintian::Hint::Pointed — it's a pointed tag situation, bestie, and the arguments get concatenated with a space 💅

It's part of Lintian, the Debian package checker, and it lives in the Lintian::Hint::Pointed section of the manual (section 3, for the library girlies 🎀).

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Lintian::Hint::Pointed;

no cap, that's the whole thing, that's how you get in 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this module hands you a pointed tag whose arguments are concatenated by a space. that's it. that's the vibe. it's giving very focused, very intentional, very "I know exactly what I am" ✨

like, you pass it your args, and they get smooshed together with spaces between them. simple. iconic. periodt 💖

---

💅 INSTANCE METHODS 💅

these are the methods you get on an instance, bestie — not class methods, instance methods, okay? know the difference, it matters 🫶

• note — a note method, because of course there is 🌈
• pointer — a pointer method. it points. that's its whole personality 😭
• context — a context method, for when you need the context, iykyk 💜

heads up queen: the original page just lists these three method names with no descriptions attached, so like… we're not gonna make up lore that isn't there. no invented behaviour on my watch 🙈 the names are the names and they are exactly what you see 🎀

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so ngl the original page doesn't have a SEE ALSO section at all — no cross-references, no sibling modules, nothing. so there's genuinely nothing to point you at here, and I'm not about to invent one, because that would be lying to my bestie and we don't do that 💀

---

THE ONE FACT CHECK 💖 — because I love you and I want you to be accurate: this module provides a pointed tag whose arguments are concatenated by a space. That is the entire documented behaviour. Don't read anything else into it, bestie, fr fr ✨

---

okay that's the whole page!! go forth and concatenate those arguments with spaces, you absolute icon 👑

this has been Lintian v2.139.0ubuntu2, dated 2026-10-08 💖 thanks for reading, mwah 🫶
