In the late ten years, the resolution of the equation $barpartial u=f$ with sharp estimates has been intensively studied for convex domains of finite type by many authors. In this paper, we consider the case of lineally convex domains. As the method used to obtain global estimates for a support function cannot be carried out in this case, we use a kernel that does not gives directly a solution of the $barpartial$-equation but only a representation formula which allows us to end the resolution of the equation using Kohns $L^2$ theory. As an application we give the characterization of the zero sets of the functions of the Nevanlinna class for lineally convex domains of finite type.
