XOLINT(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		     XOLINT(1)

NAME
     xolint -- detect errors in	programs using xo_emit(3)

SYNOPSIS
     xolint [-c] [-C <flags>] [-d] [-D]	[-I] [-p] [-V] [-X] [files...]

DESCRIPTION
     xolint is a tool for reporting common mistakes in format strings in
     source code that invokes xo_emit(3).  It allows these errors to be	diag-
     nosed at build time, rather than waiting until runtime.

     xolint takes one or more C	files as arguments, and	reports	error, warn-
     ing, or informational messages as needed.

     -c		Invoke 'cpp' against the input file

     -C	<flags>
		Flags that are passed to 'cpp'

     -d		Enable debug output

     -D		Generate documentation for all xolint messages

     -I		Generate a table of xo_info_t structures.

     -p		Print the offending lines after	the error message is displayed

     -V		Do not report errors, but instead print	a complete list	of all
		field names, sorted alphabetically.  The output	can help spot
		inconsistencies	and spelling errors.

     -X		Extract	samples	from xolint, suitable for internal testing.

     The output	message	contains the source filename and line number, the
     class of the message, the message,	and, if	-p is given, the line that
     contains the error:

	       % xolint	-t xolint.c
	       xolint.c: 16: error: anchor format should be "%d"
	       16	  xo_emit("{[:/%s}");
