23               standard input).

29       number of errors found.

31       Directories are ignored, an appropriate warning message is printed.
32
33       podchecker invokes the podchecker() function exported by Pod::Checker
34       Please see "podchecker()" in Pod::Checker for more details.

ERRORS

41       podchecker returns the exit status 1 if at least one of the given POD
42       files has syntax errors.
43
44       The status 2 indicates that at least one of the specified files does
45       not contain any POD commands.
46
47       Status 1 overrides status 2. If you want unambiguous results, call
48       podchecker with one single argument only.
