output arguments

These switches allow you to control the output of SSC, including layout and signing.

output.absolute-path Report the absolute local filesystem path of a file being analysed. Note the - in absolute-path is a minus, not a hyphen.
output.account xxx the account used to run SSC is xxx.
output.description xxx xxx is a description of SSC’s task (may be repeated)
output.format F Specify the output format; F is a template file (see output templates).
output.override F Use this output format, not the one specified by nits.format. F is a template file (see output templates). This switch is intended to aid automation.
output.password F If the private key is password protected, then file F contains the key’s password. Requires output.private.
output.private F Sign SSC’s output’s using the signature in file F. Requires output.public.
output.public F File F contains the public key corresponding to that of output.private. Either sign or verify SSC’s output, according to output.sign or output.verify.
output.relative-path Report the relative web path of a file being analysed. Note the - in relative-path is a minus, not a hyphen.
output.sign Sign output produced by SSC. Requires output.signature. Note that signing always causes verification.
output.signature F Write the output signature to file F. Requires output.private.
output.username xxx SSC is being run by XXX.
output.verify Verify output produced by SSC. Requires output.public.
