file_footer

Last lines lines of each file in scope must match a regex. Mirror of file_header anchored at the end of the file. Use for license footers, signed-off-by trailers, generated-file sentinels.

Fix: file_append — append a declared content. With no fix declared, violations are unfixable.

Options

Option	Type	Required	Default	Description
lines	integer (>= 1)		20	Number of trailing lines to consider.
pattern	string	yes		Rust regex. The last lines lines of each file must match.

Plus the common paths, level, id, and when fields. This table is generated from the JSON Schema; option types and defaults are authoritative.

Example

A file missing its license footer

The rule fires on this repository:

src/
src/missing.rs
src/ok.rs

src/missing.rs

fn b() {}
// no footer here

src/ok.rs

fn a() {}
// Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0

With this .alint.yml:

version: 1
rules:
  - id: license-footer
    kind: file_footer
    paths: "src/**/*.rs"
    pattern: "Licensed under the Apache License"
    lines: 3
    level: warning

alint check reports:

--- src/missing.rs -------------------------------------------------------------
