Installation

sudo pip install cmakelint

Usage

Syntax: cmakelint [--config=file] [--filter=-x,+y] <file> [file] ...
filter=-x,+y,...
  Specify a comma separated list of filters to apply

config=file
  Use the given file for configuration. By default the file
  $HOME/.cmakelintrc is used if it exists.  Use the value "None" to use no
  configuration file (./None for a file called literally None)
  Only the option "filter=" is currently supported in this file.

Run the --filter= option with no filter to see available options. Currently these are:

convention/filename
linelength
package/consistency
readability/logic
readability/mixedcase
readability/wonkycase
syntax
whitespace/eol
whitespace/extra
whitespace/indent
whitespace/mismatch
whitespace/newline
whitespace/tabs

An example .cmakelintrc file would be as follows:

filter=-whitespace/indent

With this file in your home directory, running these commands would have the same effect:

cmakelint.py CMakeLists.txt
cmakelint.py --filter=-whitespace/indent CMakeLists.txt

Output status codes

The program should exit with the following status codes:

0 if everything went fine
1 if an error message was issued
32 on usage error
