The command "loc --files" is a command-line instruction that is often used with the "loc" (or "lines of code") tool.
The "loc" tool is typically used to count the lines of code in a software project, specifically the number of lines that are not blank or commented out. By using various options and parameters, developers can choose to analyze specific files, directories, or programming languages.
In this particular command, "loc --files", the "--files" option is being used with the "loc" tool. This option instructs the tool to display a list of all the files that it will analyze or count the lines of code for. Essentially, it helps identify which files are included in the analysis or count.
This command can be helpful in projects where developers want to track and measure the size or complexity of their codebase or identify specific files that contribute to the overall line count.
