 Usage
 
   The syntax is:
-      cppcheck [--all] [--errorsonly] [--style] [--recursive] [filename1] [filename2]
+      cppcheck [--all] [--quiet] [--style] [file or path] [file or path]
 
   The error messages will be printed to stderr.
 
   Example (Check all files. Use all checks):
-      cppcheck --style --all --recursive
-
-  To output error messages to a file use this syntax (works both on Windows and Linux):
-      cppcheck file.cpp 2> err.txt
+      cppcheck --style --all ./
+
+  To output error messages to a file use this syntax (works both on Windows and Linux):
+      cppcheck file.cpp 2> err.txt

 Recommendations
 
   When the "--all" flag is given you may get a lot of error messages.
