.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBpodchecker\fR [\fB\-help\fR] [\fB\-man\fR] [\fB\-(no)warnings\fR] [\fIfile\fR\ ...]
.SH "OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS"
.IP "\fB\-help\fR" 8
.IX Item "-help"
Print a brief help message and exit.
.IP "\fB\-man\fR" 8
.IX Item "-man"
Print the manual page and exit.
.IP "\fB\-warnings\fR \fB\-nowarnings\fR" 8
.IX Item "-warnings -nowarnings"
Turn on/off printing of warnings. Repeating \fB\-warnings\fR increases the
warning level, i.e. more warnings are printed. Currently increasing to
level two causes flagging of unescaped \*(L"<,>\*(R" characters.
.IP "\fIfile\fR" 8
.IX Item "file"
The pathname of a \s-1POD\s0 file to syntax-check (defaults to standard input).
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBpodchecker\fR will read the given input files looking for \s-1POD\s0
syntax errors in the \s-1POD\s0 documentation and will print any errors
it find to \s-1STDERR\s0. At the end, it will print a status message
indicating the number of errors found.
.PP
Directories are ignored, an appropriate warning message is printed.
.PP
\&\fBpodchecker\fR invokes the \fB\f(BIpodchecker()\fB\fR function exported by \fBPod::Checker\fR
Please see \*(L"\fIpodchecker()\fR\*(R" in Pod::Checker for more details.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUE"
\&\fBpodchecker\fR returns a 0 (zero) exit status if all specified
\&\s-1POD\s0 files are ok.
.SH "ERRORS"
.IX Header "ERRORS"
\&\fBpodchecker\fR returns the exit status 1 if at least one of
the given \s-1POD\s0 files has syntax errors.
.PP
The status 2 indicates that at least one of the specified 
files does not contain \fIany\fR \s-1POD\s0 commands.
.PP
Status 1 overrides status 2. If you want unambiguous
results, call \fBpodchecker\fR with one single argument only.
