NAME

       include-what-you-use - Analyze #includes in C and C++ source files

DESCRIPTION

       USAGE:  include-what-you-use  [-Xiwyu  --iwyu_opt]... <clang opts> <source file> Here are the <iwyu_opts>
       you can specify (e.g. -Xiwyu --verbose=3):

       --check_also=<glob>: tells iwyu to print iwyu-violation info

              for all files matching the given glob pattern (in addition to the default  of  reporting  for  the
              input .cc file and its associated .h files).  This flag may be specified multiple times to specify
              multiple glob patterns.

       --cwd=<dir>: tells iwyu what the current working directory is.

       --howtodebug[=<filename>]: with no arg, prints instructions on

              how to run iwyu under gdb for the input file, and exits.  With an arg, prints only when input file
              matches the arg.

       --mapping_file=<filename>: gives iwyu a mapping file.

       --no_default_mappings: do not add iwyu's default mappings.

       --pch_in_code: mark the first include in a translation unit as a

       precompiled header.
              Use --pch_in_code to prevent IWYU from

       removing necessary PCH includes.
              Though Clang forces PCHs

              to  be  listed  as  prefix  headers,  the PCH-in-code pattern can be used with GCC and is standard
              practice on MSVC (e.g. stdafx.h).

       --prefix_header_includes=<value>: tells iwyu what to do with

              in-source includes and forward declarations involving prefix headers.  Prefix  header  is  a  file
              included  via command-line option -include.  If prefix header makes include or forward declaration
              obsolete, presence of such include can be controlled with the following values

       add:   new lines are added

       keep:  new lines aren't added, existing are kept intact

              remove: new lines aren't added, existing are removed

              Default value is 'add'.

       --transitive_includes_only: do not suggest that a file add

              foo.h unless foo.h is already visible in the file's transitive includes.

       --max_line_length: maximum line length for includes.

              Note that this only affects comments and alignment thereof, the maximum line length can  still  be
              exceeded  with  long file names (default: 80).   --verbose=<level>: the higher the level, the more
              output.

       In addition to IWYU-specific options you can specify the following options without -Xiwyu prefix:

       --help: prints this help and exits.

       --version: prints version and exits.
