In level 0, pcicmd give only results related to -d or -f. See first line of the console table. If there are more than one line, next ones are details for each file of a directory/branch.

Command Line resume :

+---------+---------------+
| Option  | Value         |
+---------+---------------+
| dir     | \wamp\www\pci |
| verbose | 1             |
+---------+---------------+
         

In level 2, pcicmd give results of level 0 plus the list of options PHP_CompatInfo used to parse file or directory. For example

pcicmd -d \wamp\www\pci -v 2
         

give table of level 0 (see previous), plus :

Parser options :

+--------+-------+
| Option | Value |

+------------+---------------+
| Option     | Value         |
+------------+---------------+
| dir        | \wamp\www\pci |
| no-recurse | 1             |

+------------+---------------+

Parser options :

+-------------+-------+
| Option      | Value |
+-------------+-------+
| recurse_dir | FALSE |
+-------------+-------+
         

In level 4, useless when using --dir, pcicmd give results of level 0 plus a list of functions implemented with their versions. For example

pcicmd -f \wamp\www\pci\math.php -v4
         

give :

+----------------+---------+------------+------------------+
| File           | Version | Extensions | Constants/Tokens |
+----------------+---------+------------+------------------+

|                |         | pcre       |                  |

+---------+------------+------------+
         

Level 5 is equivalent to level 4 + level 1.

Level 6 is equivalent to level 4 + level 2.

And finally, level 7 is equivalent to level 4 + level 2 + level 1.

Identify the file name (path) to a text file that contains on each line the name of each file to ignore when parsing a directory/branch.

Identify the file name (path) to a text file that contains on each line the name of each sub-directory to ignore when parsing a directory/branch.

Identify the file name (path) to a text file that contains on each line the name of each PHP function to ignore when parsing a directory or a single file.

Identify the file name (path) to a text file that contains on each line the name of each PHP constant to ignore when parsing a directory or a single file.

Identify the file name (path) to a text file that contains on each line the name of each PHP extension to ignore (all extension.functions) when parsing a directory or a single file.

Expect one or two values that identify which PHP version (and all its related functions) to ignore.

	Tip
	For example: ignore all PHP 5 functions (minor releases 0 thru 2), or only PHP 5.0.0 functions. pcicmd -f FILE | -d DIR -iv 5.0.0 5.2.0 pcicmd -f FILE | -d DIR -iv 5.0.0
