Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mad4j/rustedbytes-counterlines.git
cd rustedbytes-counterlines

# Build the project
cargo build --release

# The binary will be available at target/release/sloc

Usage

Basic Commands

Count Lines (REQ-8.3)

# Count lines in specific files
sloc count src/main.rs src/lib.rs

# Count with wildcards (REQ-2.2)
sloc count "src/*.rs" "tests/*.rs"

# Recursive directory traversal (REQ-2.3)
sloc count src/ -r

# Show per-file statistics and unsupported file list (only if requested)
sloc count src/ -r --details

# Read file list from stdin (REQ-2.4)
find . -name "*.rs" | sloc count --stdin

Generate Reports (REQ-8.3)

# Generate JSON report (REQ-6.1) (explicit output)
sloc report src/ -r -f json -o report.json

# Generate JSON report letting the tool auto-name the file (sloc-report.json)
sloc report src/ -r -f json

# Generate XML report (REQ-6.2)
sloc report src/ -r -f xml -o report.xml

# Generate CSV report (REQ-6.3)
sloc report src/ -r -f csv -o report.csv

# Include checksum (REQ-6.9)
sloc report src/ -r -f json -o report.json --checksum

# Show per-file statistics and unsupported file list in console (only if requested)
sloc report src/ -r -f json -o report.json --details

```bash
# If you omit -o/--output but specify -f/--format with 'count', a file named 'sloc-report.<ext>'
# is created using the configured default base name (configurable via defaults.output_file in config.toml).
# Example with count (auto export using default base name):
sloc count src/ -r -f json

Default auto-generated report file name: sloc-report.<format> (e.g., sloc-report.json). Configure via defaults.output_file in config.toml. Applies to both count and report when --format is provided without --output.

Note: By default, the tool prints only summary and language statistics. Use --details to print per-file statistics and the list of unsupported files in the console output.

Process Existing Reports (REQ-7.1)

# Process and display statistics from a report
sloc process report.json

# Sort by different metrics (REQ-5.4)
sloc process report.json --sort logical

# Export processed results
sloc process report.json --export summary.json -f json

Compare Reports (REQ-7.2)

# Compare two reports
sloc compare report_old.json report_new.json

# Export comparison (REQ-7.4)
sloc compare report_old.json report_new.json --export comparison.json -f json

Advanced Options

Language Configuration

# Use custom language definitions (REQ-3.3)
sloc count src/ -r --config languages.toml

# Override language detection (REQ-3.4)
sloc count src/ --language-override "txt=python" --language-override "conf=yaml"

# Ignore preprocessor directives (REQ-4.5)
sloc count src/ --ignore-preprocessor

Performance Options

# Set parallel threads (REQ-9.4)
sloc count src/ -r -j 8

# Progress bar shown by default (REQ-9.5). Use --no-progress to disable
sloc count src/ -r --no-progress

Supported Languages & Unsupported Files

Built-in support for (REQ-3.1):

Files for which no language definition is available are:

Excluded from all statistics and summaries (REQ-3.5.1)
Not included in line or language counts (REQ-3.5.2)
Listed separately in the console output and reports (REQ-3.5.3)
Rust (including nested comments)
C/C++ (with preprocessor directives)
Python (including docstrings)
JavaScript/TypeScript
Java
Go
Ruby
Shell scripts
SQL
HTML
CSS/SCSS/SASS
YAML
TOML
And more...

Line Counting Rules

The tool counts four types of lines (REQ-1.1):

Total Lines: All lines in a file
Logical Lines: Lines containing actual code (excluding comments, comment-only lines, and blanks)
Comment Lines: Lines containing only comments (excluding code and blank lines)
Empty Lines: Lines with only whitespace

Special Features

Nested Comments (REQ-4.3): Properly handles nested comments in languages like Rust, Scala, and Haskell
Mixed Lines (REQ-4.4): Correctly identifies lines containing both code and comments
Preprocessor Directives (REQ-4.5): Option to ignore or count preprocessor directives

Report Format

Reports include (REQ-6.4, REQ-6.5, REQ-6.6):

Per-file statistics (path, language, line counts: total, logical, comment, empty)
Language summaries
Global statistics
Generation timestamp (RFC 3339/ISO 8601)
Report format version
Optional SHA256 checksum (REQ-6.9)

Example JSON Report Structure

    {

      "language": "Rust",
      "totalLines": 150,
      "logicalLines": 120,
      "commentLines": 20,
      "emptyLines": 10
    }
  ],
  "languages": [
    {
      "language": "Rust",
      "fileCount": 10,
      "totalLines": 1500,
      "logicalLines": 1200,
      "commentLines": 200,
      "emptyLines": 100
    }

    "commentLines": 200,
    "emptyLines": 100,
    "languagesCount": 1
  },
  "checksum": "sha256_hash_here"
}

Custom Language Configuration

Create a languages.toml file to add or modify language definitions (REQ-3.3):

[languages.mylang]
name = "MyLanguage"
extensions = ["ml", "mli"]
single_line_comment = ["//", "#"]
multi_line_comment = [
    { start = "/*", end = "*/" },
    { start = "(*", end = "*)" }
]
nested_comments = true
preprocessor_prefix = "#"

Performance

Parallel Processing (REQ-9.4): Utilizes multiple CPU cores via Rayon
Memory Efficient (REQ-9.6): Streams files instead of loading them entirely
Progress Indicators (REQ-9.5): Progress bars enabled by default for all operations
Deterministic Output (REQ-9.3): Consistent results for identical inputs

Console Output

The tool provides formatted console output with (REQ-5.1, REQ-5.2, REQ-5.3):

Color-coded tables
Thousands separators
Percentage calculations
Sortable columns
