## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```shell copy
|
|
codeql query format [--output=<file>] [--in-place] [--backup=<ext>] <options>... -- <file>...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
Autoformat QL source code.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### Primary Options
|
|
|
|
#### `<file>...`
|
|
|
|
One or more `.ql` or `.qll` source files to autoformat. A dash can be
|
|
specified to read from standard input.
|
|
|
|
#### `-o, --output=<file>`
|
|
|
|
Write the formatted QL code to this file instead of the standard output
|
|
stream. Must not be given if there is more than one input.
|
|
|
|
#### `-i, --[no-]in-place`
|
|
|
|
Overwrite each input file with a formatted version of its content.
|
|
|
|
#### `--[no-]check-only`
|
|
|
|
Instead of writing output, exit with status 1 if any input files
|
|
_differ_ from their correct formatting. A message telling which files
|
|
differed will be printed to standard error unless you also give `-qq`.
|
|
|
|
#### `-b, --backup=<ext>`
|
|
|
|
When writing a file that already exists, rename the existing file to a
|
|
backup by appending this extension to its name. If the backup file
|
|
already exists, it will be silently deleted.
|
|
|
|
#### `--no-syntax-errors`
|
|
|
|
If an input file is not syntactically correct QL, pretend that it is
|
|
already correctly formatted. (Usually such a file causes the command to
|
|
terminate with an error message).
|
|
|
|
### Common options
|
|
|
|
#### `-h, --help`
|
|
|
|
Show this help text.
|
|
|
|
#### `-J=<opt>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Give option to the JVM running the command.
|
|
|
|
(Beware that options containing spaces will not be handled correctly.)
|
|
|
|
#### `-v, --verbose`
|
|
|
|
Incrementally increase the number of progress messages printed.
|
|
|
|
#### `-q, --quiet`
|
|
|
|
Incrementally decrease the number of progress messages printed.
|
|
|
|
#### `--verbosity=<level>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Explicitly set the verbosity level to one of errors,
|
|
warnings, progress, progress+, progress++, progress+++. Overrides `-v`
|
|
and `-q`.
|
|
|
|
#### `--logdir=<dir>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Write detailed logs to one or more files in the given
|
|
directory, with generated names that include timestamps and the name of
|
|
the running subcommand.
|
|
|
|
(To write a log file with a name you have full control over, instead
|
|
give `--log-to-stderr` and redirect stderr as desired.)
|
|
|
|
#### `--common-caches=<dir>`
|
|
|
|
\[Advanced] Controls the location of cached data on disk that will
|
|
persist between several runs of the CLI, such as downloaded QL packs and
|
|
compiled query plans. If not set explicitly, this defaults to a
|
|
directory named `.codeql` in the user's home directory; it will be
|
|
created if it doesn't already exist.
|
|
|
|
Available since `v2.15.2`.
