lint
A Unix C language processor which carries out more thorough checks on the code
than is usual with C compilers.
Lint is named after the bits of fluff it supposedly picks from programs. Judging
by references on Usenet this term has become a shorthand for desk check at some
non-Unix shops, even in languages other than C. Also used as delint.
