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 inter‐
face 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 spec‐
ify 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 happens.
