The command "phpcpd --min-tokens ${number_of_tokens} ${filename_or_directory}" is a command-line instruction that runs the PHP Copy/Paste Detector (PHPCPD) tool with certain parameters.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
-
"phpcpd": This is the name of the command used to run the PHPCPD tool. It is a command used for detecting duplicate code in PHP projects.
-
"--min-tokens": This is a command-line option that sets the minimum number of identical tokens required for code fragments to be considered as duplicated. Tokens can be thought of as small building blocks of code.
-
"${number_of_tokens}": This is a placeholder representing a specific value that you need to provide. Replace "${number_of_tokens}" with the minimum number of tokens you want to set as a threshold for detecting duplicated code. For example, if you set it to ${number_of_tokens}=10, PHPCPD will only detect duplicates that have at least 10 identical tokens.
-
"${filename_or_directory}": This is another placeholder that represents the name of a specific file or directory that you want to scan for duplicate code. Replace "${filename_or_directory}" with the actual path to the PHP file or directory you want to analyze. PHPCPD will scan the given file or directory and report any duplicate code found based on the specified minimum token threshold.
Overall, this command allows you to run the PHPCPD tool with custom configurations, such as setting the minimum token threshold and specifying the file or directory to analyze for duplicate code.
