reuse-lint-file - Man Page

reuse lint-file [options] [file ...]

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) 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.

The criteria are the same as used in reuse-lint(1), but using only a subset:

• Missing licenses.
• Read errors.
• Files without copyright and license information.

-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.
