    my $tag = Lintian::Tag->new;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an interface to tag metadata as gleaned from the *.desc files describing the checks. It can be used to retrieve specific metadata elements or to format the tag description.

load(PATH)

Loads a tag description from PATH.

code()

Returns the one-letter code for the tag. This will be a letter chosen from E, W, I, or P, based on the tag visibility, and other attributes (such as whether experimental is set). This code will never be O or X; overrides and experimental tags are handled separately.
