NAME
       apkbuild-lint - A linter for Alpine Linux's build files (apkbuild)

SYNOPSIS
       apkbuild-lint <apkbuild...>

DESCRIPTION
       apkbuild-lint is a linter for packages in aports. It will check the
       APKBUILD file for violations of policy, superfluous statements,
       stylistic violations and others. See alint(5) under the apkbuild-lint
       section for an explanation of each violation that apkbuild-lint checks
       for.

       apkbuild-lint will print the policy violations found and exit 1, if no
       violations are found then nothing will be printed and it will exit 0.

ENVIRONMENT
       The CUSTOM_VALID_OPTIONS variable can be set to a whitespace-separated
       list of variables that will be considered valid inside the options=
       variable of an APKBUILD

OUTPUT
       apkbuild-lint will print to stdout whenever a policy violation is found
       in the following format

           SEVERITYCERTAINITY:[TAG]:PATH::MSG

       o   SEVERITY refers to how severe a violation is, ranging from S to M.
       o   CERTAINITY refers to how likely it is not a false positive, ranging
           from C to P
       o   TAG refers to the tag of the violation, see alint(5) for more
           details.
       o   PATH refers to the path given for apkbuild-lint to check.
       o   LINE refers to the number of the line where the violation was
           found.
       o   MSG is a short message meant for humans to know what is the
           violation.
