1. lint
[from Unix's
lint(1),
named for the bits of fluff it supposedly picks from programs] 1. vt. To examine a program
closely for style, language usage, and portability problems, esp. if in C,
esp. if via use of automated analysis tools, most esp. if the Unix
utility
lint(1)
is used. This term used to be restricted to use of
lint(1)
itself, but (judging by references on Usenet) it has become a shorthand for
any exhaustive review process at some non-Unix shops, even in languages
other than C. Also as v.
delint. 2. n. Excess verbiage in a
document, as in “This draft has too much lint”.
