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

SYNOPSIS
       cppcheck [--all] [--append [file]] [--auto-dealloc [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.

       -a, --all
	   Deprecated, use --enable=possibleError

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

       --auto-dealloc [file]
	   Suppress warnings about classes that have automatic deallocation

	   The classnames must be provided in plain text - one classname /
	   line - in a .lst file.

	   This option can be given several times, allowing you to provide
	   several .lst files.

       --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.

	   possibleError
	       Make the checking more sensitive. More bugs are detected, but
	       there are also more false positives.

	   style
	       Check coding style.

	   unusedFunctions
	       Check for unused functions.

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

       --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
