PODCHECKER(1)	       Perl Programmers Reference Guide		 PODCHECKER(1)

NAME
       podchecker - check the syntax of POD format documentation files

SYNOPSIS
       podchecker [-help] [-man] [-(no)warnings] [file ...]

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
       -help   Print a brief help message and exit.

       -man    Print the manual page and exit.

       -warnings -nowarnings
	       Turn on/off printing of warnings. Repeating -warnings increases
	       the warning level, i.e. more warnings are printed. Currently
	       increasing to level two causes flagging of unescaped "<,>"
	       characters.

       file    The pathname of a POD file to syntax-check (defaults to stan-
	       dard input).

DESCRIPTION
       podchecker will read the given input files looking for POD syntax
       errors in the POD documentation and will print any errors it find to
       STDERR. At the end, it will print a status message indicating the num-
       ber of errors found.

       Directories are ignored, an appropriate warning message is printed.

       podchecker invokes the podchecker() function exported by Pod::Checker
       Please see "podchecker()" in Pod::Checker for more details.

RETURN VALUE
       podchecker returns a 0 (zero) exit status if all specified POD files
       are ok.

ERRORS
       podchecker returns the exit status 1 if at least one of the given POD
       files has syntax errors.

       The status 2 indicates that at least one of the specified files does
       not contain any POD commands.

       Status 1 overrides status 2. If you want unambigouus results, call pod-
       checker with one single argument only.
