Usage

Use -search-dir src:=<PATH> when performing collect actions.

To exclude files from analysis, use the exclude-files option.

Example

Run a Suitability analysis on myApplication. Search for source files in the specified search directory. Write the result to the specified project directory.

advisor --collect=suitability --search-dir src:=./src1 --project-dir=./advi_results -- ./myApplication

The following two commands are equivalent. Each runs a Suitability analysis on myApplication and searches for source files in the two specified search directories.

advisor --collect=suitability --search-dir src:=./src1 --search-dir src:=./src2 --project-dir=./advi_results -- ./myApplication
advisor --collect=suitability --search-dir src:=./src1,./src2 --project-dir=./advi_results -- ./myApplication
