Excluding a file or folder from checking To exclude a file or folder, there are two options. The first option is to only provide the paths and files you want to check.

cppcheck src/a src/b

All files under src/a and src/b are then checked. The second option is to use -i, with it you specify files/paths to ignore. With this command no files in src/c are checked:

cppcheck -isrc/c src
