+.SH NAME
+lintian-info \- give detailed information about Lintian's error tags
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lintian-info
+.RI [ log-file ... ]
+\&...
+
+.B lintian-info \-\-tags
+.I tag
+\&...
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The
+.B lintian-info
+command parses the output of the
+.B lintian
+command and gives verbose information about the listed Lintian error
+tags, parses a Lintian override file and gives verbose information about
+the tags included, or (if given the
+.BR \-t " or " \-\-tags
+option) explains a given tag or tags.
+.sp
+If no log-file is specified on the command line, this command expects
+its input on stdin. Thus, the output of
+.B lintian
+can either be piped through
+.B lintian-info
+or a log file produced by
+.B lintian
+can be processed with this command. (Note, that the
+.B lintian
+command has a command line option
+.B \-i
+to automatically pipe its output through
+.BR lintian-info .
+Thus, you will rarely use this command directly.)
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-a ", " \-\-annotate
+Read from standard input or any files specified on the command line and
+search the input for lines formatted like Lintian override entries.  For
+each one that was found, display verbose information about that tag.
+
+.TP
+.BR \-t ", " \-\-tags
+Rather than treating them as log file names, treat any command-line
+options as tag names and display the descriptions of each tag.
+
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.PP
+If
+.BR \-t " or " \-\-tags
+was given and one or more of the tags specified were unknown, this command
+returns the exit code 1.  Otherwise, it always returns with exit code 0.
