Lintian::Tag - Lintian interface to tag metadata

    my $tag = Lintian::Tag->new;

This module provides an interface to tag metadata as gleaned from the *.desc files describing the checks. It can be used to retrieve specific metadata elements or to format the tag description.

Loads a tag description from PATH.
Returns the one-letter code for the tag. This will be a letter chosen from "E", "W", "I", or "P", based on the tag visibility, and other attributes (such as whether experimental is set). This code will never be "O" or "X"; overrides and experimental tags are handled separately.

Originally written by Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org> for Lintian.
