Configuration

Excluding functions

Functions can be excluded from analysis by putting a nocl comment (case-insensitive) on the line of the name of function.

For example, to ignore a Python function:

def some_function(): # nocl
    ...

or to ignore this Python function:

def some_functions( # nocl
        some_numbers: list[int]
) -> int:
    ...

or to ignore this C function:

void some_function(int a, const char *b) { // nocl
    ...

Excluding files

Files can be excluded from analysis by using the --exclude option. This option can be used multiple times and takes a glob pattern as a value, for example:

codelimit --exclude "*.generated.py" --exclude "docs/*" ...

The --exclude option extends the default exclusion list. The default exclusion list is:
