   -help   Print a brief help message and exit.

   -man    Print the manual page and exit.

   -warnings -nowarnings
           Turn on/off printing of warnings. Repeating -warnings increases
           the warning level, i.e. more warnings are printed. Currently
           increasing to level two causes flagging of unescaped "<,>"
           characters.

   file    The pathname of a POD file to syntax-check (defaults to
           standard input).

DESCRIPTION

   podchecker will read the given input files looking for POD syntax
   errors in the POD documentation and will print any errors it find to
   STDERR. At the end, it will print a status message indicating the
   number of errors found.

   Directories are ignored, an appropriate warning message is printed.

   podchecker invokes the podchecker() function exported by Pod::Checker
   Please see "podchecker()" in Pod::Checker for more details.

RETURN VALUE

   podchecker returns a 0 (zero) exit status if all specified POD files
   are ok.

ERRORS

   podchecker returns the exit status 1 if at least one of the given POD
   files has syntax errors.

   The status 2 indicates that at least one of the specified files does
   not contain any POD commands.

   Status 1 overrides status 2. If you want unambiguous results, call
