NAME

       countcode - counts per known source file type the number of source lines

SYNOPSIS

       countcode [-h] [-b] [-c] [-s] [-l] [-p PRINTLEVEL] [-d] [-t] [-v] [directory]

DESCRIPTION

       countcode counts per known source file type the number of source lines in the files in the
       given directory and recursively in its subdirectories.  It supports many file  types.  The
       type  is recognized from the file name extension or the shebang script type. Use -s to see
       all supported types.

       The following line types are counted:

         code:     pure code lines
         comment:  pure comment lines
         blank:    empty lines or lines containing whitespace only
         header:   the copyright header (leading comment lines)
         other:    all other lines

       Unless -b is given, a pure code or comment line has to contain an alphanumeric  character;
       e.g.,  a  single  } does not count as code line.  It calculates the percentage of code and
       comment lines in the total number of lines or (if -l is given) in  the  sum  of  code  and
       comment  lines.   Unless  -t  is  given, files in test directories are counted separately.
       Normal output is written on stdout; verbose on stderr.  Files with  an  unknown  type  are
       reported on stderr.  Note that -bt should give about the same results as a tool like cloc.

   positional arguments:
       directory
              name of top directory to count source files (default is .)

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -b, --basic
              count  copyright header and lines without an alphanumeric character as code/comment
              lines

       -c, --code
              only use source files containing code (e.g. no .parset)

       -s, --sum
              only calculate and print the sum of all file types

       -l, --limitperc
              limit to the nr of code and comment lines to determine percentages

       -p PRINTLEVEL, --printlevel PRINTLEVEL
              first directory level to print (default 0 (=top))

       -d, --displaytypes
              display the currently recognized file types (full info with -v)

       -t, --testinclude
              do not count test directories separately

       -v, --verbose
              print count for each source file
