NAME

       gnatmetric - Ada metrics tool

SYNOPSIS

       gnatmetric [options] {filename | -files filename} [gcc_switches]

DESCRIPTION

       gnatmetric  takes a set of compilable Ada sources as input, computes for them various programming metrics
       and generates the output. Argument Ada sources may be provided as command  line  arguments,  or  you  can
       place the names of the Ada sources to compute the metrics for into a textual file and to provide the name
       of this file as the parameter of -files option.

OPTIONS

       -v     verbose mode

       -q     quiet mode

       -dv    generate debug output

       -dd    generate string to be used as input for progress indicator

       -nocc  do not compute the McCabe Cyclomatic Complexity

       -noec  do not compute the Essential Complexity

       -nonl  do not compute maximal loop nesting level

       -ne    do not consider exit statements as gotos when computing Essential Complexity

       -nolocal
              do not compute detailed metrics for local program units

   Line metrics
       When  not  specified  explicitly,  all  line  metrics  are  set  on, otherwise only specified metrics are
       computed:

       -la    the number of all lines

       -lcode the number of code lines

       -lcomm the number of comment lines

       -leol  the number of code lines also containing comments

       -lb    the number of blank lines

   Element metrics
       When not specified explicitly, all element metrics are set  on,  otherwise  only  specified  metrics  are
       computed:

       -ed    the total number of declarations

       -es    the total number of statements

       -eps   the number of public subprograms in a compilation unit

       -eas   the number of all the subprograms in a compilation unit

       -ept   the number of public types in a compilation unit

       -eat   the number of all the types in a compilation unit

       -enu   the maximal program unit nesting level

       -ec    the maximal construct nesting level

   Output file control
       -d dirname
              put files with detailed metrics into dirname

       -x     generate the XML output

       -nt    do not generate the output in text form, implies '-x'

       -o file-suffix
              the  suffix  for  the file to put the detailed metrics for a source file (file-suffix should begin
              with a dot)

       -og filename
              the name of the file to put the global metrics info into (if not set, this info is sent to Stdout)

       -ox filename
              the name of the file to put the XML output into, implies '-x'

       -sfn   use short source file name in the output

   Input files
       filename
              the name of the Ada source file for which metrics should be computed. Wildcards are allowed.

       -files filename
              the name of the text file containing a list of Ada  source  files  for  which  metrics  should  be
              computed.

   GCC switches
       gcc_switches
              Passed to gnatgcc as "-cargs gcc_switches".
