"\n"
"Syntax:\n"
" cppcheck [OPTIONS] [files or paths]\n"
"\n"
"If a directory is given instead of a filename, *.cpp, *.cxx, *.cc, *.c++, *.c, *.ipp,\n"
"*.ixx, *.tpp, and *.txx files are checked recursively from the given directory.\n\n"
"Options:\n"
" --addon=\n"
" Execute addon. i.e. --addon=misra. If options must be\n"
" provided a json configuration is needed.\n"
" --addon-python=\n"
" You can specify the python interpreter either in the\n"
" addon json files or through this command line option.\n"
" If not present, Cppcheck will try \"python3\" first and\n"
" then \"python\".\n"
" --cppcheck-build-dir=\n"
" Cppcheck work folder. Advantages:\n"
" * whole program analysis\n"
" * faster analysis; Cppcheck will reuse the results if\n"
" the hash for a file is unchanged.\n"
" * some useful debug information, i.e. commands used to\n"
" execute clang/clang-tidy/addons.\n"
" --check-config Check cppcheck configuration. The normal code\n"
" analysis is disabled by this flag.\n"
" --check-level=\n"
" Configure how much valueflow analysis you want:\n"
" * reduced: Reduce valueflow to finish checking quickly.\n"
" * normal: Cppcheck uses some compromises in the analysis so\n"
" the checking will finish in reasonable time.\n"
" * exhaustive: deeper analysis that you choose when you can\n"
" wait.\n"
" The default choice is 'normal'.\n"
" --check-library Show information messages when library files have\n"
" incomplete info.\n"
" --checkers-report=\n"
" Write a report of all the active checkers to the given file.\n"
" --clang= Experimental: Use Clang parser instead of the builtin Cppcheck\n"
" parser. Takes the executable as optional parameter and\n"
" defaults to `clang`. Cppcheck will run the given Clang\n"
" executable, import the Clang AST and convert it into\n"
" Cppcheck data. After that the normal Cppcheck analysis is\n"
" used. You must have the executable in PATH if no path is\n"
" given.\n"
" --config-exclude=\n"
" Path (prefix) to be excluded from configuration\n"
" checking. Preprocessor configurations defined in\n"
" headers (but not sources) matching the prefix will not\n"
" be considered for evaluation.\n"
" --config-excludes-file=\n"
" A file that contains a list of config-excludes\n"
" --disable= Disable checks with the given severity.\n"
" Please refer to the documentation of --enable for\n"
" further details.\n"
" --dump Dump xml data for each translation unit. The dump\n"
" files have the extension .dump and contain ast,\n"
" tokenlist, symboldatabase, valueflow.\n"
" -D Define preprocessor symbol. Unless --max-configs or\n"
" --force is used, Cppcheck will only check the given\n"
" configuration when -D is used.\n"
" Example: '-DDEBUG=1 -D__cplusplus'.\n"
" -E Print preprocessor output on stdout and don't do any\n"
" further processing.\n"
" --enable= Enable additional checks grouped by severity. The available\n"
" severities are:\n"
" * warning\n"
" * performance\n"
" * portability\n"
" * information\n"
" * style\n"
" Enable checks with severities 'style', 'warning',\n"
" 'performance' and 'portability'.\n"
" * unusedFunction\n"
" Check for unused functions. It is recommended\n"
" to only enable this when the whole program is\n"
" scanned.\n"
" * missingInclude\n"
" Check for missing include files.\n"
" * all\n"
" Enable all checks.\n"
" Pass multiple severities as a comma-separated list.\n"
" --error-exitcode= If errors are found, integer [n] is returned instead of\n"
" the default '0'. '" << EXIT_FAILURE << "' is returned\n"
" if arguments are not valid or if no input files are\n"
" provided. Note that your operating system can modify\n"
" this value, e.g. '256' can become '0'.\n"
" --errorlist Print a list of all the error messages in XML format.\n"
" --exitcode-suppressions=\n"
" Used when certain messages should be displayed but\n"
" should not cause a non-zero exitcode.\n"
" --file-filter= Analyze only those files matching the given filter str.\n"
" Can be used multiple times. When str is '-', the file\n"
" filter will be read from standard input. When str is '+',\n"
" given files on CLI will be treated as file filters.\n"
" Example: --file-filter=*bar.cpp analyzes only files\n"
" that end with bar.cpp.\n"
" --file-list= Specify the files to check in a text file. Add one\n"
" filename per line. When file is '-,' the file list will\n"
" be read from standard input.\n"
" -f, --force Force checking of all configurations in files. If used\n"
" together with '--max-configs=', the last option is the\n"
" one that is effective.\n"
" --fsigned-char Treat char type as signed.\n"
" --funsigned-char Treat char type as unsigned.\n"
" -h, --help Print this help.\n"
" -I Give path to search for include files. Give several -I\n"
" parameters to give several paths. First given path is\n"
" searched for contained header files first. If paths are\n"
" relative to source files, this is not needed.\n"
" --includes-file=\n"
" Specify directory paths to search for included header\n"
" files in a text file. Add one include path per line.\n"
" First given path is searched for contained header\n"
" files first. If paths are relative to source files,\n"
" this is not needed.\n"
" --include=\n"
" Force inclusion of a file before the checked file.\n"
" -i Ignore files that match . can be a filename\n"
" or directory and can contain *,**,?. A file that is\n"
" ignored will not be checked directly (the whole\n"
" translation unit is skipped completely). Header files\n"
" are checked indirectly when they are #include'd.\n"
" Note: If you want to prevent warnings in some headers,\n"
" use suppressions instead.\n"
" --inconclusive Allow that Cppcheck reports even though the analysis is\n"
" inconclusive.\n"
" There are false positives with this option. Each result\n"
" must be carefully investigated before you know if it is\n"
" good or bad.\n"
" --inline-suppr Enable inline suppressions. Use them by placing one or\n"
" more comments, like: '// cppcheck-suppress warningId'\n"
" on the lines before the warning to suppress.\n"
" -j Start threads to do the checking simultaneously.\n"
" -l Specifies that no new threads should be started if\n"
" there are other threads running and the load average is\n"
" at least .\n"
" --language=, -x \n"
" Forces cppcheck to check all files as the given\n"
" language. Valid values are: c, c++\n"
" --library= Load file that contains information about types\n"
" and functions. With such information Cppcheck\n"
" understands your code better and therefore you\n"
" get better results. The std.cfg file that is\n"
" distributed with Cppcheck is loaded automatically.\n"
" For more information about library files, read the\n"
" manual.\n"
" --max-configs=\n"
" Maximum number of configurations to check in a file\n"
" before skipping it. Default is '12'. If used together\n"
" with '--force', the last option is the one that is\n"
" effective.\n"
" --max-ctu-depth=N Max depth in whole program analysis. The default value\n"
" is 2. A larger value will mean more errors can be found\n"
" but also means the analysis will be slower.\n"
" --output-file= Write results to file, rather than standard error.\n"
" --output-format=\n"
" Specify the output format. The available formats are:\n"
" * text\n"
" * sarif\n"
" * xml (deprecated)\n"
" * xmlv2\n"
" * xmlv3\n"
" --platform=, --platform=\n"
" Specifies platform specific types and sizes. The\n"
" available builtin platforms are:\n"
" * unix32\n"
" 32 bit unix variant\n"
