Usage: metrix++.py collect [options] -- [path 1] ... [path N]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --db-file=DB_FILE, --dbf=DB_FILE
                        Primary database file to write (by the collector) and
                        post-process (by other tools) [default: ./metrixpp.db]
  --db-file-prev=DB_FILE_PREV, --dbfp=DB_FILE_PREV
                        Database file with data collected for the
                        past/previous revision. If it is set for the collector
                        tool to perform an incremental/iterative collection,
                        it may reduce the processing time significantly. Post-
                        processing tools use it in order to recognise/evaluate
                        change trends. [default: none].
  --non-recursively, --nr
                        If the option is set (True), sub-directories are not
                        processed [default: False]
  --exclude-files=EXCLUDE_FILES, --ef=EXCLUDE_FILES
                        Defines the pattern to exclude files from processing
                        [default: ^[.]]
  --std.general.proctime, --sgpt
                        If the option is set (True), the tool measures
                        processing time per file [default: False]
  --std.general.procerrors, --sgpe
                        If the option is set (True), the tool counts number of
                        processing/parsing errors per file [default: False]
  --std.general.size, --sgs
                        If the option is set (True), the tool collects file
                        size metric (in bytes) [default: False]
  --log-level=LOG_LEVEL, --ll=LOG_LEVEL
                        Defines log level. Possible values are
                        'DEBUG','INFO','WARNING' or 'ERROR'. Default value is
                        inherited from environment variable
                        'METRIXPLUSPLUS_LOG_LEVEL' if set. [default: INFO]
  --std.code.complexity.cyclomatic, --sccc
                        Enables collection of cyclomatic complexity metric
                        (McCabe) [default: False]
  --std.code.cpp.files=STD.CODE.CPP.FILES
                        Enumerates filename extensions to match C/C++ files
                        [default: *.c,*.h,*.cpp,*.hpp,*.cc,*.hh,*.cxx,*.hxx]
  --std.code.cs.files=STD.CODE.CS.FILES
                        Enumerates filename extensions to match C# files
                        [default: *.cs]
  --std.code.java.files=STD.CODE.JAVA.FILES
                        Enumerates filename extensions to match Java files
                        [default: *.java]
  --std.code.length.total, --sclent
                        Enables collection of size metric (in number of
                        symbols per region) [default: False]
  --std.code.lines.code, --sclc
                        Enables collection of lines of code metric - number of
                        non-empty lines of code, excluding comments [default:
                        False]
  --std.code.lines.preprocessor, --sclp
                        Enables collection of lines of preprocessor code
                        metric - number of non-empty lines of preprocessor
                        code [default: False]
  --std.code.lines.comments, --sclcom
                        Enables collection of lines of comments metric -
                        number of non-empty lines of comments [default: False]
  --std.code.lines.total, --sclt
                        Enables collection of lines of comments metric -
                        number of non-empty lines of comments [default: False]
  --std.suppress, --ss  If set (True), suppression markers are collected from
                        comments in code. Suppressions are used by post-
                        processing tools, like limit, to remove false-positive
                        warnings. Suppressions should be in the first comment
                        block of a region (function/class/interface). Format
                        of suppressions: 'metrix++: suppress metric-name'. For
                        example: 'metrix++: suppress
                        std.code.complexity:cyclomatic'.  [default: False]
