Is the bookkeeping file used by SourcererCC?

Hi, the Readme is not clear about where to put the bookkeeping headers.file.

Does SourcererCC actually use this file or is it just for manual check of the block/file that is found?

headers.file is not directly used by SourcererCC. It is used for post processing purpose, especially to track the code-block ids to their code snippets.
Going further, we need to figure out a good home for it. Currently, we make a bookkeepings folder inside the input folder and then drop this file there.

``` SourcererCC`
|--input
| -- bookkeepings
|-- headers.file

No, SourcererCC (SCC) doesn't use bookkeeping file. However, it can be used outside of SCC if you want to look into the body of clone pairs.
