.I Lint
recognizes the following command line flags.
Some of them are identical to the flags of
.I cem.
.I Lint
warns for flags it doesn't know.
.LP
\f(CW-D<name>
.br
-D<name>=<text>\fP
.br
.in 5
Causes \f(CW<name>\fP to be defined as a macro.
The first form is equivalent to `\f(CW-D<name>=1\fP'.
The second form is equivalent to putting `\f(CW#define <name> <text>\fP'
in front of all the source files.
.in
.LP
\f(CW-U<name>\fP
.br
.in 5
Acts as if the line `\f(CW#undef <name>\fP' is put in front of all
the source files.
.in
.LP
\f(CW-I<directory>\fP
.br
.in 5
This puts \f(CW<directory>\fP in the include directory
list.
.in
.LP
\f(CW-R\fP
.br
.in 5
Turn off the `strict' option.
Default
.I lint
checks the program according to the Reference Manual, because this
gives a definition of the language with which there is a better chance
of writing portable programs.
With this flag on, some constructs, otherwise not allowed, are
accepted.
.in
.LP
\f(CW-l<name>
.br
-llib-l<name>.ln
.br
-l\fP
.br
.in 5
`\f(CW-l<name>\fP' tells
.I lint
to search the lint library
\f(CWllib-l<name>.ln\fP for missing
definitions of functions and variables.
The option `\f(CW-llib-l<name>.ln\fP' makes
.I lint
search the lint library file \f(CWllib-l<name>.ln\fP in the current
directory for missing definitions.
Default is `\f(CW-lc\fP'; this default can be suppressed by
`\f(CW-l\fP'.
.in
.LP
\f(CW-a\fP
.br
.in 5
Warn for conversions from integer to long and vice versa.
.in
.LP
\f(CW-b\fP
.br
.in 5
Don't report not-reachable break statements.
This flag is useful for running
.I lint
on a \fIlex\fP- or \fIyacc\fP-generated source file.
.in

\f(CW-h\fP
.br
.in 5
Check for useless statements and possible pointer alignment problems.
