# The default output is as follows:
# filename:line_number [risk_level] (type) function_name: message
# where "risk_level" goes from 0 to 5. 0=no risk, 5=maximum risk.
# The final output is sorted by risk level, most risky first.
# Optionally ":column_number" can be added after the line number.

warning: warning (text saying what's the problem)
suggestion: suggestion (text suggesting what to do instead)

"tmpfile" (temporary file creation), "format" (format string).

flawfinder [--help | -h] [--version] [--listrules]

[--omittime] [--quiet | -Q]
[--loadhitlist F] [--savehitlist F] [--diffhitlist F]
[--] [source code file or source root directory]+
The options cover various aspects of flawfinder as follows.
Documentation:
--help | -h Show this usage help.
--version Show version number.
--listrules List the rules in the ruleset (rule database).
Selecting Input Data:
--allowlink Allow symbolic links.
--followdotdir
Follow directories whose names begin with ".".
Normally they are ignored.
--nolink Skip symbolic links (ignored).
--patch F | -P F
Display information related to the patch F
(patch must be already applied).
Selecting Hits to Display:
--inputs | -I
Show only functions that obtain data from outside the program;
this also sets minlevel to 0.
-m X | --minlevel=X
Set minimum risk level to X for inclusion in hitlist. This
can be from 0 (``no risk'') to 5 (``maximum risk''); the
default is 1.
--falsepositive | -F
Do not include hits that are likely to be false positives.
Currently, this means that function names are ignored if
they're not followed by "(", and that declarations of char-
acter arrays aren't noted. Thus, if you have use a vari-
able named "access" everywhere, this will eliminate refer-
ences to this ordinary variable. This isn't the default,
because this also increases the likelihood of missing
important hits; in particular, function names in #define
clauses and calls through function pointers will be missed.
--neverignore | -n
Never ignore security issues, even if they have an ``ignore''
directive in a comment.
--regex PATTERN | -e PATTERN
Only report hits that match the regular expression PATTERN.
Selecting Output Format:
--columns | -C
Show the column number (as well as the file name and
line number) of each hit; this is shown after the line number
by adding a colon and the column number in the line (the first
character in a line is column number 1).
--context | -c
Show context (the line having the "hit"/potential flaw)
--dataonly | -D
Don't display the headers and footers of the analysis;
use this along with --quiet to get just the results.
--html | -H
Display as HTML output.
--immediate | -i
Immediately display hits (don't just wait until the end).
--singleline | -S
Single-line output.
--omittime Omit time to run.
--quiet | -Q
Don't display status information (i.e., which files are being
examined) while the analysis is going on.
--error-level=LEVEL
Return a nonzero (false) error code if there is at least one
hit of LEVEL or higher. If a diffhitlist is provided,
hits noted in it are ignored.
This option can be useful within a continuous integration script,
especially if you mark known-okay lines as "flawfinder: ignore".
Usually you want level to be fairly high, such as 4 or 5.
By default, flawfinder returns 0 (true) on a successful run.
Hitlist Management:
--savehitlist=F
Save all hits (the "hitlist") to F.
--loadhitlist=F
Load hits from F instead of analyzing source programs.
--diffhitlist=F
Show only hits (loaded or analyzed) not in F.
For more information, please consult the manpage or available
documentation.
