The later formatting/filtering might be useful but the use of the hard coded file is strange. Also it is pity that the script does not do anything useful out of box. I suggest to remove the commands and do the scan out of box. It should not store anything on the disk by default. Then we could define following options: -o, --output=<file> Store raw results into file for later formatting. -i, --input=<file> Read raw result from file and just format them. Well, it is still somehow non-intuitive. It might help to be more explicit: -o, --output-raw=<file> -i, --input-raw=<file> > Options: > > - -d, --debug Display debugging output. > - -h, --help, --version Display this help and exit. > + -o, --output=<file> Raw results output file, used for later formatting. > + --suppress-dmesg Do not show dmesg results. > + --squash-by-path Show one result per unique path. I would personally add also option for the default mode: --squash-by-filename Show one result per unique filename (default). In fact, I would personally use --squash-by-path or even --raw by default. These provide easy to understand output. While the --squash-by-filename mode has pretty good results but it is quite non-intuitive. Best Regards, Petr
