The command "cppcheck --errorlist" is used to display the list of error codes and their corresponding descriptions for the C++ code analysis tool called "cppcheck."

Cppcheck is a static analysis tool that helps identify potential errors and code defects in C and C++ programs. It analyzes the source code to identify issues like memory leaks, null pointer dereferences, uninitialized variables, etc.

The "--errorlist" option specifically instructs cppcheck to display the comprehensive list of error codes and their respective descriptions. This list can be helpful for understanding the specific issues detected by cppcheck and how to interpret the error messages generated by the tool.

Running the command "cppcheck --errorlist" will typically present a table or a list with the error codes and their explanations. This information can assist in interpreting and addressing the potential problems identified by cppcheck to improve the quality and reliability of the C++ code being analyzed.
