This is more to demonstrate the use of the role than anything else.

Lintpref
========
The lintpref linter is a simple linter for libpref files to check for duplicate
entries between :searchfox:`modules/libpref/init/all.js` and
:searchfox:`modules/libpref/init/StaticPrefList.yaml`. If a duplicate is found,
lintpref will raise an error and emit the ``all.js`` line where you can find
the duplicate entry.
Running Locally
---------------
The linter can be run using mach:
.. parsed-literal::
$ mach lint --linter lintpref
Fixing Lintpref Errors
----------------------
In most cases, duplicate entries should be avoided and the duplicate removed
from ``all.js``. If for any reason a pref should exist in both files, the pref
should be added to ``IGNORE_PREFS`` in :searchfox:`tools/lint/libpref/__init__.py`.
