DESCRIPTION

       Cppcheck is a command-line tool that tries to detect bugs that your C/C++ compiler doesn't
       see. It is versatile, and can check non-standard code including various compiler
       extensions, inline assembly code, etc. Its internal preprocessor can handle includes,
       macros, and several preprocessor commands. While Cppcheck is highly configurable, you can
       start using it just by giving it a path to the source code.

OPTIONS

       Analyze given C/C++ files for common errors.

       --append=<file>
           This allows you to provide information about functions by providing an implementation
           for these.

       --check-config
           Check Cppcheck configuration. The normal code analysis is disabled by this flag.

       --check-library
           Show information messages when library files have incomplete info.

       -D<id>
           By default Cppcheck checks all configurations. Use -D to limit the checking. When -D
           is used the checking is limited to the given configuration. Example: -DDEBUG=1
           -D__cplusplus

       -U<id>
           By default Cppcheck checks all configurations. Use '-U' to explicitly hide certain
           #ifdef <id> code paths from checking. Example: '-UDEBUG'

       --enable=<id>
           Enable additional checks. The available ids are:

           all
               Enable all checks. It is recommended to only use --enable=all when the whole
               program is scanned, because this enables unusedFunction.

           warning
               Enable warning messages

           style
               Enable all coding style checks. All messages with the severities 'style',
               'performance' and 'portability' are enabled.

           performance
               Enable performance messages

           portability
               Enable portability messages

           information
               Enable information messages

           unusedFunction
               Check for unused functions. It is recommend to only enable this when the whole
               program is scanned

           missingInclude
               Warn if there are missing includes. For detailed information use --check-config

           By default none of the additional checks are enabled. Several ids can be given if you
           separate them with commas, e.g. --enable=style,unusedFunction. See also --std

       --error-exitcode=<n>
           If errors are found, integer <n> is returned instead of default 0. EXIT_FAILURE is
           returned if arguments are not valid or if no input files are provided. Note that your
           operating system can modify this value, e.g. 256 can become 0.

       --errorlist
           Print a list of all possible error messages in XML format.

       --exitcode-suppressions=<file>
           Used when certain messages should be displayed but should not cause a non-zero
           exitcode.

       --file-list=<file>
           Specify the files to check in a text file. One filename per line. When file is -, the
           file list will be read from standard input.

       -f, --force
           Force checking of files that have a lot of configurations. Error is printed if such a
           file is found so there is no reason to use this by default. If used together with
           --max-configs=, the last option is the one that is effective.

       -h, --help
           Print help text.

       -I <dir>
           Give path to search for include files. Give several -I parameters to give several
           paths. First given path is searched for contained header files first. If paths are
           relative to source files, this is not needed.

       --includes-file=<file>
           Specify directory paths to search for included header files in a text file. Add one
           include path per line. First given path is searched for contained header files first.
           If paths are relative to source files, this is not needed.

       -i <dir>
           Give path to ignore. Give several -i parameters to ignore several paths. Give
           directory name or filename with path as parameter. Directory name is matched to all
           parts of the path.

       --inconclusive
           Allow that Cppcheck reports even though the analysis is inconclusive. There are false
           positives with this option. Each result must be carefully investigated before you know
           if it is good or bad.

       --inline-suppr
           Enable inline suppressions. Use them by placing comments in the form: //
           cppcheck-suppress memleak before the line to suppress.

       -j <jobs>
           Start <jobs> threads to do the checking work.

       --language=<language>
           Forces cppcheck to check all files as the given language. Valid values are: c, c++

       --library=<cfg>
           Use library configuration.

       --max-configs=<limit>
           Maximum number of configurations to check in a file before skipping it. Default is 12.
           If used together with --force, the last option is the one that is effective.

       --platform=<type>
           Specifies platform specific types and sizes.The available platforms are:

           unix32
               32 bit unix variant

           unix64
               64 bit unix variant

           win32A
               32 bit Windows ASCII character encoding

           win32W
               32 bit Windows UNICODE character encoding

           win64
               64 bit Windows

           By default the platform which was used to compile Cppcheck is used.

       -q, --quiet
           Only print something when there is an error.

       -rp, -rp=<paths>, --relative-paths;, --relative-paths=<paths>
           Use relative paths in output. When given, <paths> are used as base. You can separate
           multiple paths by ';'. Otherwise path where source files are searched is used. E.g. if
           given value is test, when checking test/test.cpp, the path in output will be test.cpp
           instead of test/test.cpp. The feature uses string comparison to create relative paths,
           so using e.g. ~ for home folder does not work. It is currently only possible to apply
           the base paths to files that are on a lower level in the directory tree.

       --report-progress
           Report progress when checking a file.

       --rule=<rule>
           Match regular expression to create your own checks. E.g. rule "/ 0" can be used to
           check division by zero.

       --rule-file=<file>
           Use given rule XML file. See https://sourceforge.net/projects/cppcheck/files/Articles/
           for more info about the syntax.

       -s, --style
           Deprecated, use --enable=style

       --std=<id>
           Set standard. The available options are:

           posix
               POSIX compatible code

           c89
               C code is C89 compatible

           c99
               C code is C99 compatible

           c11
               C code is C11 compatible (default)

           c++03
               C++ code is C++03 compatible

           c++11
               C++ code is C++11 compatible (default)

           Example to set more than one standards: 'cppcheck --std=c99 --std=posix file.cpp'

       --suppress=<spec>
           Suppress a specific warning. The format of <spec> is: [error id]:[filename]:[line].
           The [filename] and [line] are optional. [error id] may be * to suppress all warnings
           (for a specified file or files). [filename] may contain the wildcard characters * or
           ?.

       --suppressions-list=<file>
           Suppress warnings listed in the file. Each suppression is in the format of <spec>
           above.

       --template='<text>'
           Format the error messages. E.g. '{file}:{line},{severity},{id},{message}' or
           '{file}({line}):({severity}) {message}'. Pre-defined templates: gcc, vs

       -v, --verbose
           More detailed error reports

       --version
           Print out version information

       --xml
           Write results in XML to error stream

       --xml-version=<version>
           Select the XML file version. Currently versions 1 and 2 are available. The default
           version is 1.
