  • html: errors will be displayed with its location highlighted with HTML code
  • quickfix: errors displayed in a format that can be easily understood by vim's quickfix feature

Disables includes resolution for security purposes. Can be used with untrusted code, for instance a phantm web API.

--summary

Only display the number of notices/errors, without the details.

--version

Analyzing your project

--shy, --quiet, --verbose, --vverbose

--includepath <paths>

Sets up the include paths that phantm will use to resolve include calls. You can specify multiple paths by separating them with “:”.

--focus

Includes the files, but only display errors of the main files, this allows you to analyze multiple entry points without being flooded by repetitive errors inside dependencies.

--only <symbols>

Focus data-flow analysis on a set of symbols, for instance, --only foo:bar::gee will only do data-flow analysis on the function foo and the method bar::gee(). Use “main” to represent the main scope.
