NAME

       cppcheck - Simple syntax checking of C/C++.

SYNOPSIS

       cppcheck [--append [file]] [--enable=[id]] [--error-exitcode=[n]]
                [--force] [--help] [-I[dir]] [-j[jobs]] [--quiet] [--style]
                [--suppressions [file]] [--template ['text']]
                [--unused-functions] [--verbose] [--version] [--xml]
                [file or path] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Tool for static C/C++ code analysis intended to complement the checking
       of the compiler. Checks for: memory leaks, mismatching
       allocation-deallocation, buffer overrun, and many more.

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.

       --enable=[id]
           Enable specific checks. The available ids are:

           all
               Enable all checks.

           exceptNew
               Check exception safety when using new.

           exceptRealloc
               Check exception safety when reallocating.

           style
               Check coding style.

           unusedFunctions
               Check for unused functions.

           Several ids can be given if you separate them with commas, e.g.
           --enable=style,unusedFunctions.

       --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.

       -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.

       -h, --help
           Print help text.

       -I [dir]
           Give include path. Give several -I parameters to give several
           paths. First given path is checked first. If paths are relative to
           source files, this is not needed.

       -j [jobs]
           Start [jobs] threads to do the checking work.

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

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

       --suppressions [file]
           Suppress warnings listed in the file. Filename and line are
           optional. The format of the single line in file is: [error
           id]:[filename]:[line]

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

       --unused-functions
           Deprecated, use --enable=unusedFunctions

       -v, --verbose
           More detailed error reports

       --version
           Print out version information

       --xml
           Write results in xml to error stream
