NAME

     amlint -- check Automator actions for problems

SYNOPSIS

     amlint [-HhSs] [-d definition-bundle] [-x exception-file] action ...

DESCRIPTION

     amlint checks the given Automator actions for various problems and interface inconsistencies.  action is the path of a built action bundle.
     The options are as follows:

     -H    Print the filename for each error or warning.

     -h    Suppress the prefixing of filenames when multiple actions are checked.

     -S    For each action, write a summary line indicating how many errors and warnings there were.

     -s    As -S, but skips the summary line for actions with no errors or warnings.

     -d definition-bundle
	   Specify a definition bundle, which specifies custom action input and output types.  This option may be repeated if you need to specify
	   more than one bundle.

     -x exception-file
	   Specify a list of errors and warnings to ignore.  The file should be plain text, with one line per error: the action filename, a colon,
	   space, and the text of the error.  For example:

		 My Action.action: error: NSButton "OK" should not use the metal style.

	   You can simply copy an output line from amlint -H.

RETURN VALUES

     amlint exits with one of the following values:

     0	   no serious errors were found.

     1	   an error was found in one of the checked actions.

     >1    an internal error occurred.

BUGS

     Because of a bug in nibtool(1), amlint will fail to work on some nibs.  You will see errors about the ``old-style plist parser'' if this hap-
     pens.
