cppclean: Run in a project's directory.
$ cppclean ${path-to-project}
try on your machine

The command "cppclean" is used to analyze and clean C++ code by removing unused code and identifying potential issues. It takes a parameter called "${path-to-project}" which specifies the path or directory where the C++ project is located.

By running this command, the "cppclean" tool will scan the C++ source files within the specified project directory and analyze the code for various aspects including unused functions, variables, and includes. It may also identify potential problems like memory leaks, incorrect or unused header files, and other code smells.

Once the analysis is done, "cppclean" will provide a report detailing the unused code and other potential issues it found within the project. This report can help developers optimize their code, improve its maintainability, and potentially enhance its performance.
