skIgnoreMessage

skIgnoreMessage( 
g_ignoreList 
) 
=> t

Description

Turns off the reporting of specified SKILL Lint messages. For a message to appear, both the message and its group have to be unignored.

When a message is ignored, reporting is turned off until a call to unignore that same message is made. If the message group hint was turned off, all messages in the group hint are not printed when SKILL Lint is run. These messages would also not affect the final IQ score. You can put calls to skIgnoreMessage in .skinit, the SKILL Lint startup file, in either the user’s home directory or under

your_install_dir/local

This startup file executes whenever you run SKILL Lint.

Arguments

String or list of messages that SKILL Lint will no longer output.

Value Returned
