Verify whether the specified files are compliant with the REUSE Specification
Synopsis
reuse lint-file [options] [file ...]
Description
reuse-lint-file verifies whether the specified files are compliant with the REUSE Specification located at <https://reuse.software/spec>. It runs the linter from reuse-lint(1) <https://reuse.readthedocs.io/en/v6.2.0/man/reuse-lint.html> against a subset of files, using a subset of criteria.
Files that are ignored by reuse-lint are also ignored by reuse-lint-file, even if specified.
Criteria
The criteria are the same as used in reuse-lint(1) <https://reuse.readthedocs.io/en/v6.2.0/man/reuse-lint.html>, but using only a subset:
- Missing licenses.
- Read errors.
- Files without copyright and license information.
Options
- -q, --quiet
Do not print anything to STDOUT.
- -l, --lines
Output one line per error, prefixed by the file path. This option is the default.
- --help
Display help and exit.
