If you want more info on the options you can enable/disable for the command-line app, use the `--help` option:\n\n```sh\naddons-linter --help\n```\n\n#### Privileged extensions\n\nThe addons-linter can lint privileged extensions **only** when the `--privileged` option is passed to it. This option changes the behavior of the linter to:\n\n1. emit errors when the input file (or directory) is a regular extension (i.e. the extension does not use privileged features)\n2. hide messages related to privileged features (e.g., permissions and properties) when the input file (or directory) is a privileged extens",
