/**
 * <p>
 * Checks for long lines.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Rationale: Long lines are hard to read in printouts or if developers
 * have limited screen space for the source code, e.g. if the IDE displays
 * additional information like project tree, class hierarchy, etc.
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * The calculation of the length of a line takes into account the number of
 * expanded spaces for a tab character ({@code '\t'}). The default number of spaces is {@code 8}.
 * To specify a different number of spaces, the user can set
 * <a href="https://checkstyle.org/config.html#TreeWalker">{@code TreeWalker}</a>
 * property {@code tabWidth} which applies to all Checks, including {@code LineLength};
 * or can set property {@code tabWidth} for {@code LineLength} alone.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Package and import statements (lines matching pattern {@code ^(package|import) .*})
 * are not verified by this check.
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code fileExtensions} - Specify file extensions that are accepted.
 * Type is {@code java.lang.String[]}.
 * Default value is {@code ""}.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code ignorePattern} - Specify pattern for lines to ignore.
 * Type is {@code java.util.regex.Pattern}.
 * Default value is {@code "^$"}.
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code max} - Specify the maximum line length allowed.
 * Type is {@code int}.
 * Default value is {@code 80}.
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check to accept lines up to 80 characters long:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name="LineLength"/&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check to accept lines up to 120 characters long:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name="LineLength"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="max" value="120"/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check to ignore lines that begin with {@code " * "} code,
 * followed by just one word, such as within a Javadoc comment:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name="LineLength"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="ignorePattern" value="^ *\* *[^ ]+$"/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>To configure the check to only validate java files and ignore other extensions:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name="LineLength"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="fileExtensions" value="java"/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>To configure the check to only validate xml and property files and ignore other extensions:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name="LineLength"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="fileExtensions" value="xml, properties"/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Parent is {@code com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.Checker}
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Violation Message Keys:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * {@code maxLineLen}
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * @since 3.0
