How to use Cppcheck to review C/C++ code in Ubuntu?

Question

I am trying to use Cppcheck tool on Ubuntu. I ran the following command

cppcheck --enable=all  --check-config --suppress=missingIncludeSystem main.c 2>err.txt

It is creating the err.txt file, but it is empty.

How to get the check results of main.c?

Share your main.c code, maybe err.txt is empty since there is no errors? — R2RT

Remove --check-config. That option tells Cppcheck that you only want to check the command line configuration.
