 Name

    permlint - check permlist syntax

 Syntax

    permlint [-i] [-L] [-p] [-q] [-Q] [-u] permlist

 Description

    permlint examines the permlist file, permlist, and returns 0 if no syntax
    errors are encountered, or it generates a list of messages if it
    encounters errors or unusual permlist entries.  Permlists are generated
    automatically by the docut(SMT) utility.  Use permlint to check the syn-
    tax of permlists that have been edited manually.

 Options

    permlint supports the following options:

    -i   suppresses error messages regarding UID/GID values that do not match
         those of the system

    -L   suppresses warning messages regarding link names with volume numbers

    -p   suppresses error messages regarding unusual permissions

    -q   reports errors only

    -Q   only reports syntax errors that fixperm(M) would detect

    -u   displays command line usage, then quits
