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?.

4. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
lint
A Unix C language processor which carries out more
thorough checks on the code than is usual with C compilers.
Lint is named after the bits of fluff it supposedly picks from
programs. Judging by references on Usenet this term has
become a shorthand for desk check at some non-Unix shops,
even in languages other than C. Also used as delint.
