NAME

       Gendarme - Rule-based code analysis for Mono.

SYNOPSIS

       gendarme [--config configfile] [--set ruleset] [--log file | --xml file | --html file] [options] assemblies ...

DESCRIPTION

       Gendarme is a extensible rule-based tool used to find problems in .NET applications and libraries. Gendarme inspects programs and libraries
       that contain code in ECMA CIL format (Mono and .NET) and looks for common problems with the code, problems that compilers do not  typically
       check or have historically not checked.

OPTIONS

       --config configfile
	      Specify the rule sets and rule settings. Default is 'rules.xml'.

       --set ruleset
	      Specify a rule set from configfile. Defaults to 'default'.

       --log file
	      Save the report to the specified file. If none of --log, --xml, or --html are used then the report is written to stdout.

       --xml file
	      Save the report, formatted as XML, to the specified file.

       --html file
	      Save the report, formatted as HTML, to the specified file.

       --ignore ignore-file
	      Do not report defects listed in the specified file.

       --limit N
	      Stop reporting after N defects are found.

       --severity [all | audit[+] | low[+|-] | medium[+|-] | high[+|-] | critical[-]],...
	      Filter the reported defects to include the specified severity levels.  Default is 'medium+' (i.e. low and audit levels are ignored).

       --confidence [all | low[+] | normal[+|-] | high[+|-] | total[-]],...
	      Filter the reported defects to include the specified confidence levels.  Default is 'normal+' (i.e. low level is ignored).

       --quiet
	      Used to disable progress and other information which is normally written to stdout.

       --v|verbose
	      When present additional progress information is written to stdout. May be used more than once to write even more info.

       --version
	      Display Gendarme's version number. This will match the Mono version number that this copy of Gendarme was released with.

       assemblies ...
	      Specify  the  assemblies	to verify. You can specify multiple filenames, including masks (? and *). You can also provide a file that
	      lists several assemblies (one per line) by prefixing the filename with @ on the command line.

FILES

       ignore-file
	      This file is used to filter out defects from gendarme reports.

       rules.xml
	      This file is used in conjunction with the --set option to control and configure the rules used by Gendarme. It  contains	a  set	of
	      named rules (rule sets) and each rule set contains a list of rules.

       gendarme.exe.config
	      Used  by	debug  versions  of  Gendarme to enable logging for rules. It is useful for Gendarme's developers (i.e. not meant for end-
	      users).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       GENDARME_COLOR
	      The runner will use colors when displaying defects on the console.  By default colors are dark in order to display correctly on  any
	      background.  You	can change this default to "light" (lighter colors looks nice on a dark background, or "none" so no colors will be
	      used.  E.g.
		  GENDARME_COLOR=none gendarme ...

EXIT STATUS

       0      The runner returns 0 when no error has occurred. If some code was analyzed then this also means  that  no  defects  were	found  and
	      reported.

       1      The runner execution was successful but either some defects where found or no assembly was specified.

       2      The runner execution was interrupted by I/O errors (e.g. missing files).

       3      The  runner  founds  errors  in the (default or user supplied) configuration files. Specific error messages should be printed on the
	      console.

       4      The runner execution was interrupted by a non-handled exception. This is likely a bug inside Gendarme and should be reported on Nov-
	      ell's bugzilla (http://bugzilla.novell.com) or on the mailing-list.
