[x] Documentation update
What changes did you make? (Give an overview)
This adds documentation for the new APIs that were added in #6525, as well as a few other
Linter
methods that are undocumented.The other methods on
Linter.prototype
(reset
,report
,getSourceCode
,getAncestors
,getScope
,markVariableAsUsed
,getFilename
,defaults
,getDeclaredVariables
, the external methods here, and the methods onEventEmitter.prototype
) are not intended to be used by Node.js API users, and are only exposed incidentally, so I didn't document them. Eventually I'd like to remove them and/or rename them to make it clear that they're private. It would also be nice to keeplinter.verify
as a pure function, but it currently modifies some internal state which is visible through those private methods.Is there anything you'd like reviewers to focus on?
Nothing in particular
