Transition Impacts

Identifier types

By default, the filescanner reports every instance of all identifier types and impact classifications, severities, and types. When the identifier type appears on an output report, it indicates that the file scanner recognized the identifier it found as a command argument, a command option, or an environment variable.

The identifier types are:

» » C/C++ Functions or #define macros with arguments » » C/C++ Header Files » » C/C++ Miscellaneous Identifiers (global variables, type names, enum members, or #define macros) » » C/C++ Keywords, Operators, or Preprocessor Directives » » C/C++ Structure, Class, or Union Members » » C/C++ Structures, Classes, Unions, or enum Tags » » Commands and Utilities » » Command Arguments, Options, Environment Variables » » COBOL Callable Routines » » COBOL Intrinsic Functions » » COBOL Keywords » » Fortran Intrinsic Functions » » Fortran Identifiers or Specifiers » » Fortran Keywords or Operators » » Fortran Intrinsic Subroutines » » Path Names » » Programming Libraries
