Recursive Input
Recursive Input
| Report: Recursive Descent Input Mode |
| Option: -r |
| Required Parameters: -r <file extension list> <starting directory for recursive descent> |
| Compatible Options: RSM Option Cross Reference |
| Usage: rsm -H -O"report.htm" -r"h,c,cpp c:\work\reports" rsm -H -r"java c:\work\reports" > report.htm |
| Source: C, C++, C# and Java |
| The
-r input mode recursively descends the specified directory
looking for files which have the specified extensions. The mode
can
easily acquire all the source files for a large project. The
option
requires two additional parameters in successive order. -r must
be
the last option used in the list of RSM options. -r is always
followed
by a comma delimited list of source code file extensions and the
starting
directory. For example: You wish to start at c:\project and
process the metrics on all header, C++ source and Java source
files.
You also wish to process the metrics for functions, object classes
and complexity. The following RSM command can be used to accomplish
this:
rsm -fa -o -c -r"h,cpp,java c:\project" > project_metrics.txt There are recursive descent modifiers that can used to alter the behavior of the recursive descent. -RN tells the recursive algorithm to not sort the directory/filenames alphabetically. This can greatly increase the speed of recursive descent. It also report the file names as they occur in the directory tree. -RL creates a list of the filenames to be processed by the recursive descent but does not actually perform any metrics parsing. This mode can be used to see which files would have been processed. RSM 6.10 adds a feature in the rsm.cfg file to skip specific named directories
in recursive descent. This feature is very useful for passing over configuration
control directories such as "sccs,rcs,cvs" or specific names
test directories like "test,user_test". By specifying Yes and
adding the list of direcories this feature is enabled. |
