Usage

Overview

Build an identifier database.

-o, --output=OUTFILE: file name of ID database output

-f, --file=OUTFILE: synonym for --output

-i, --include=LANGS: include languages in LANGS (default: "C C++ asm")

-x, --exclude=LANGS: exclude languages in LANGS

-l, --lang-option=L:OPT pass OPT as a default for language L (see below)

-m, --lang-map=MAPFILE: use MAPFILE to map file names onto source language

-d, --default-lang=LANG: make LANG the default source language

-p, --prune=NAMES: exclude the named files and/or directories

-v, --verbose: report per file statistics

-s, --statistics: report statistics at end of run

--files0-from=F: tokenize only the files specified by NUL-terminated names in file F

--help: display this help and exit

--version: output version information and exit

FILE may be a file name, or a directory name to recursively search. If no FILE is given, the current directory is searched by default. Note that the `--include' and `--exclude' options are mutually-exclusive.

The following arguments apply to the language-specific scanners:

C language:

-k,--keep=CHARS: Allow CHARS in single-token strings, keep the result

-i,--ignore=CHARS: Allow CHARS in single-token strings, toss the result

-u,--strip-underscore: Strip a leading underscore from single-token strings

C++ language:

-k,--keep=CHARS: Allow CHARS in single-token strings, keep the result

-i,--ignore=CHARS: Allow CHARS in single-token strings, toss the result

-u,--strip-underscore: Strip a leading underscore from single-token strings

Java language:

-k,--keep=CHARS: Allow CHARS in single-token strings, keep the result

-i,--ignore=CHARS: Allow CHARS in single-token strings, toss the result

-u,--strip-underscore: Strip a leading underscore from single-token strings

Assembly language:

-c,--comment=CHARS: Any of CHARS starts a comment until end-of-line

-k,--keep=CHARS: Allow CHARS in tokens, and keep the result

-i,--ignore=CHARS: Allow CHARS in tokens, and toss the result

-u,--strip-underscore: Strip a leading underscore from tokens

-n,--no-cpp: Don't handle C pre-processor directives

Text language:

-i,--include=CHAR-CLASS: Treat characters of CHAR-CLASS as token constituents

-x,--exclude=CHAR-CLASS: Treat characters of CHAR-CLASS as token delimiters

Perl language:

-i,--include=CHAR-CLASS: Treat characters of CHAR-CLASS as token constituents

-x,--exclude=CHAR-CLASS: Treat characters of CHAR-CLASS as token delimiters
