licensecheck

LICENSECHECK(1) 														   LICENSECHECK(1)

NAME

       licensecheck - simple license checker for source files

SYNOPSIS

       licensecheck --help|--version

       licensecheck [--no-conf] [--verbose] [--copyright] [-l|--lines=N] [-i|--ignore=regex] [-c|--check=regex] [-m|--machine] [-r|--recursive]
       list of files and directories to check

DESCRIPTION

       licensecheck attempts to determine the license that applies to each file passed to it, by searching the start of the file for text
       belonging to various licenses.

       If any of the arguments passed are directories, licensecheck will add the files contained within to the list of files to process.

OPTIONS

       --verbose, --no-verbose
	   Specify whether to output the text being processed from each file before the corresponding license information.

	   Default is to be quiet.

       -l=N, --lines=N
	   Specify the number of lines of each file's header which should be parsed for license information. (Default is 60).

       -i=regex, --ignore=regex
	   When processing the list of files and directories, the regular expression specified by this option will be used to indicate those which
	   should not be considered (e.g. backup files, VCS metadata).

       -r, --recursive
	   Specify that the contents of directories should be added recursively.

       -c=regex, --check=regex
	   Specify a pattern against which filenames will be matched in order to decide which files to check the license of.

	   The default includes common source files.

       --copyright
	   Also display copyright text found within the file

       -m, --machine
	   Display the information in a machine readable way, i.e. in the form <file><tab><license>[<tab><copyright>] so that it can be easily
	   sorted and/or filtered, e.g. with the awk and sort commands.  Note that using the --verbose option will kill the readability.

       --no-conf, --noconf
	   Do not read any configuration files. This can only be used as the first option given on the command-line.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

       The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are sourced by a shell in that order to set configuration variables.
       Command line options can be used to override configuration file settings.  Environment variable settings are ignored for this purpose.  The
       currently recognised variables are:

       LICENSECHECK_VERBOSE
	   If this is set to yes, then it is the same as the --verbose command line parameter being used. The default is no.

       LICENSECHECK_PARSELINES
	   If this is set to a positive number then the specified number of lines at the start of each file will be read whilst attempting to
	   determine the license(s) in use.  This is equivalent to the --lines command line option.
