+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a Perl script that invokes the Clang static analyzer. Options used by
+.Nm
+or by the analyzer appear first, followed by the
+.Ar build_command
+and any
+.Ar build_options
+normally used to build the target system.
+.Pp
+The static analyzer employs a long list of checking algorithms, see
+.Sx CHECKERS .
+Output can be written in standard
+.Li .plist
+and/or HTML format.
+.Pp
+The following options are supported:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl analyze-headers
+Also analyze functions in #included files.
+.It Fl enable-checker Ar checker_name , Fl disable-checker Ar checker_name
+Enable/disable
+.Ar checker_name .
+See
+.Sx CHECKERS .
+.It Fl h , Fl Fl help
+Display this message.
+.It Fl Fl help-checkers
+List default checkers, see
+.Sx CHECKERS .
+.It Fl Fl html-title Ns Op = Ns Ar title
+Specify the title used on generated HTML pages.
+A default title is generated if
+.Ar title
+is not specified.
+.It Fl k , Fl Fl keep-going
+Add a
+.Dq keep on going
+option to
+.Ar build_command .
+Currently supports make and xcodebuild. This is a convenience option;
+one can specify this behavior directly using build options.
+.It Fl o
+Target directory for HTML report files. Subdirectories will be
+created as needed to represent separate invocations
+of the analyzer. If this option is not specified, a directory is
+created in /tmp (TMPDIR on Mac OS X) to store the reports.
+.It Fl plist
+Output the results as a set of
+.Li .plist
+files. (By default the output of
+.Nm
+is a set of HTML files.)
+.It Fl plist-html
+Output the results as a set of HTML and .plist files
+.It Fl Fl status-bugs
+Set exit status to 1 if it found potential bugs and 0 otherwise. By
+default the exit status of
+.Nm
+is that returned by
+.Ar build_command .
+.It Fl Fl use-c++ Ns Op = Ns Ar compiler_path
+Guess the default compiler for your C++ and Objective-C++ code. Use this
+option to specify an alternate compiler.
+.It Fl Fl use-cc Ns Op = Ns Ar compiler_path
+Guess the default compiler for your C and Objective-C code. Use this
+option to specify an alternate compiler.
+.It Fl v
+Verbose output from
+.Nm
+and the analyzer. A second and
+third
+.Ar v
+increases verbosity.
+.It Fl V , Fl Fl view
+View analysis results in a web browser when the build completes.
+.It Fl constraints Op Ar model
+Specify the contraint engine used by the analyzer. By default the
+.Ql range
+model is used. Specifying
+.Ql basic
+uses a simpler, less powerful constraint model used by checker-0.160
+and earlier.
+.It Fl maxloop Ar N
+Specifiy the number of times a block can be visited before giving
+up. Default is 4. Increase for more comprehensive coverage at a
+cost of speed.
+.It Fl no-failure-reports
+Do not create a
+.Ql failures
+subdirectory that includes analyzer crash reports and preprocessed
+source files.
+.It Fl stats
+Generates visitation statistics for the project being analyzed.
+.It Fl store Op Ar model
+Specify the store model used by the analyzer. By default, the
+.Ql region
+store model is used.
+.Ql region
+specifies a field-
+sensitive store model. Users can also specify
+.Ql basic
+which is far less precise but can more quickly analyze code.
+.Ql basic
+was the default store model for checker-0.221 and earlier.
+.\"
+.El
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+.Nm
+returns the value returned by
+.Ar build_command
+unless
+.Fl Fl status-bugs
+or
+.Fl Fl keep-going
+is used.

+.Sh CHECKERS
+The checkers listed below may be enabled/disabled using the
+.Fl enable-checker
+and
+.Fl disable-checker
+options.
+A default group of checkers is run unless explicitly disabled.
+Exactly which checkers constitute the default group is a function
+of the operating system in use; they are listed with
+.Fl Fl help-checkers .

+.Sh EXAMPLE
+.Ic scan-build -o /tmp/myhtmldir make -j4
+.Pp
+The above example causes analysis reports to be deposited into
+a subdirectory of
+.Pa /tmp/myhtmldir
+and to run
+.Ic make
+with the
+.Fl j4
+option.
+A different subdirectory is created each time
+.Nm
+analyzes a project.
+The analyzer should support most parallel builds, but not distributed builds.
