Example

This command performs a Suitability analysis on myApplication, searches for source files in the specified search directory, and writes the result to the specified project directory.

$ advixe-cl -collect suitability -project-dir ./advi -search-dir src:=./src1 -- myApplication

The following two commands are equivalent. Each performs a Suitability analysis on myApplication, searching for source files in the two specified search directories.

$ advixe-cl -collect suitability -project-dir ./advi -search-dir src:=./src1 -search-dir src:=./src2 -- myApplication

$ advixe-cl -collect suitability -project-dir ./advi -search-dir src:=./src1,./src2 -- myApplication
