Lintian::Screen(3)

πŸ’– Lintian::Screen(3) β€” the manual page, but make it cute πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to Lintian::Screen(3), straight out of the Debian Package Checker corner of the universe ✨ it's short, it's sweet, and it's giving "small class, big responsibilities" energy. no cap.


✨ NAME ✨

Lintian::Screen β€” common facilities for Lintian screens πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

this is literally the whole vibe, bestie, copy-paste it and go:

use Moo;
use namespace::clean;

with('Lintian::Screen');

look at that. four lines. clean. Moo for the class, namespace::clean to keep things tidy, and with('Lintian::Screen') to pull the whole thing in as a role 🫢 it's giving "I woke up like this" fr fr.


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what even is this?? it's a class for masking Lintian tags after they are issued πŸ’…

that's the whole description, and honestly? iconic. it doesn't over-explain, it doesn't do too much β€” it just does its one job. the tags get issued, and then this bad boy masks them. periodt. πŸ‘‘


πŸ‘‘ INSTANCE METHODS πŸ‘‘

here's the roster, bestie β€” the instance methods your screen rolls with:
