The.ln format is the internal format that "lint" uses to pass things between pass 1 and pass 2. This probably can change between releases of "lint", so it may not be appropriate to document it. It doesn't resemble what would be built from a regular "lint library", as it's built from the original source of the library. > What is the advantage of generating libraries this way? In effect, using a lint library in its interpass internal form means you don't spend the resources making the interpass format every time you run "lint" with those libraries, so it's faster.
