Description of "C" identifier type
 |
| |
 UNIX commands
|
When the identifier type appears on your output report, it indicates
that the file scanner recognized the identifier it found as a UNIX command.
Likely cause of overreporting
in C or C++ programs |
Recommendation |
Most Common:
A path basename or word in a literal string in your source code matches a UNIX command in the file scanner database. |
Recommended: Use -I synopsisID to
exclude this impact.
OR use -Y C to exclude the search for command arguments or environment variables.
You can add the -I option to your .scanrc file, but avoid adding -Y C. Using -Y C
in your .scanrc file instructs the file scanner to ignore all identifier type impacts in all your scans. |
Likely cause of overreporting
in scripts or makefiles |
Recommendation |
Most Common:
A path basename or word in your source code matches a UNIX command in the file scanner database. |
Use -I synopsisID to exclude this
impact.
You can add the -I option to your .scanrc file. |
