Lint uses the label of "library" header to designate those headers over which a programmer has no control (such as compiler headers). By default all #include
s from a foreign directory, or enclosed within < > , are considered "library." This can be modified through the use of the +libclass
option, and further fine-tuned with the +libdir
/-libdir
and +libh
/-libh
options. You can then use the -wlib
, -elib
and -elibsym
options to control just those messages being emitted from library headers. Compiler options files distributed with PC-lint usually contain a -wlib(1)
option which limits lint output from library headers to errors only (suppressing warning and informational messages).
