Available linters

Description

A variety of linters are available in lintr. The most popular ones are readily accessible through default_linters().

Within a lint() function call, the linters in use are initialized with the provided arguments and fed with the source file (provided by get_source_expressions()).

A data frame of all available linters can be retrieved using available_linters(). Documentation for linters is structured into tags to allow for easier discovery; see also available_tags().
