Linear Pointfile formerly known as Pointfile helps you find leaks in your map, a brush that doesn't close the void, or a func_areaportal that does not fully close a room. This file is created if your map contains leaks, a file with your map's name will be created in the VMF's location, using a .lin extension (e.g. my_map.lin). When a map is no longer leaking, the file will be deleted next time VBSP runs.
File format
Each row of numbers are points and location (coordinates) in 
Hammer. The first row is the starting point and the last row is the end point.
