NAME

       cccc - C and C++ Code Counter, a software metrics tool

SYNOPSIS

       cccc [options] file1.c ...

DESCRIPTION

       CCCC  analyses  and reports measurements of source code in C, C++, and Java.  It was developed to augment
       programmers' instinctive application of numeric rules of thumb about what constitutes high or low quality
       products with an automated analysis tool.

       CCCC  processes the files listed on its command line.  If the filenames include ‘-’, read a list of files
       from standard input.

       This program is work in progress and is not well documented.  Please be prepared to refer to  the  source
       code for the meaning of some options.
