#shlint - shell linting utility.

Shlint uses locally available shells to test a shellscript for portability issues. It also runs checkbashisms against the code.

Default shells tested are: zsh ksh bash dash sh

Place a .shlintrc file in your homedir to override default shells. This is expected to be shell syntax, specified as:

shlint_shells="list installed shells here separated by spaces"

Use brew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) to install additional shells if you're missing any.

If you're a ruby user, can install using gem install shlint

Any other nix platform, just drop the contents of lib into your $PATH
