Description of "H" identifier type
 |
| |
C and C++ header files
|
When the identifier type appears on your output report, it indicates
that the file scanner recognized the identifier it found as a C or C++ header file.
Likely cause of overreporting
in C or C++ programs |
Recommendation |
Most Common:
The file scanners do not check the location of the header file, so they cannot distinguish between a header file in your
local directory and a header file in /usr/include/sys or /usr/include. |
Use -I synopsisID to exclude this
impact.
You can add the -I option to your .scanrc file. |
