DETLint is an MPW tool which aides in debugging Directories Extension Templates. DETLint checks over a template file, looking for missing resources which must be in a template, and for internal inconsistencies.
DETLint has no options. It simply takes the name of a template file as input on the command line in MPW. It writes to standard output a list of all the template resources it finds in the file, and notes anything which it finds to be incorrect or missing.
DETLint is intended to be used after a template has been written, and before it is tried for the first time. Or when a template has been used before and doesn't work exactly as expected. DETLint will not find all template problems, but it can often uncover some of the most common but hardest to locate by hand.
