phploc: Include only specific files from a comma-separated list (globs are allowed).
$ phploc ${path-to-directory} --names ${files}
try on your machine

This command is using the PHPLOC tool to analyze a specific directory in a PHP codebase and generate various metrics and statistics. Here's a breakdown of the command and its options:

  • phploc is the command used to run the PHPLOC tool. It should be installed and available in your command line environment.

  • ${path-to-directory} should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to analyze. This is the main parameter for PHPLOC, specifying the directory containing the PHP files you want to analyze.

  • --names is an optional flag that can be used to specify a list of specific files to analyze. Replace ${files} with the names or patterns of the files you want to include in the analysis. This is helpful when you only want to analyze specific files rather than the whole directory.

When this command is executed, PHPLOC will start analyzing the specified directory (or files) and generate information about the codebase, such as the number of classes, methods, lines of code, and various complexity metrics. The results will be shown in your console or command line output.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
