psalm: Analyze a specific directory or file.
$ psalm ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The "psalm" command is a static analysis tool for PHP code. It is used to find and fix errors, bugs, and potential security vulnerabilities in PHP code.

When you run the "psalm" command with a specific file or directory as the parameter, it analyzes the PHP code in that file or directory and provides a detailed report of any issues found. This command helps developers identify and resolve problems in their codebase.

In the command "psalm ${filename_or_directory}", the variable "${filename_or_directory}" represents the path of the file or directory you want to analyze. By specifying a specific file, you can analyze just that file. Alternatively, by providing a directory path, you can analyze all PHP files within that directory and its subdirectories.

By using the "psalm" command, developers can ensure their PHP code is correct, efficient, and secure.
