Release 5.05 of SCC dated 2012-01-23

Major extension of functionality — new options.

Usage: scc [-chnwCV][-s rep][-q rep] [file ...]

Options:

• -c — Print comments and not the code
• -h — Print this help and exit
• -n — Keep newlines in comments
• -s rep — Replace the body of string literals with rep (a single character)
• -q rep — Replace the body of character literals with rep (a single character)
• -w — Warn about nested C-style comments
• -C — Do not recognize C++/C99 style (//) comments
• -V — Print version information and exit

Note that the sense of the -C flag changed between versions 4.03 and 4.04 and version 5.05.

The -s and -q options make analysis of C code simpler; you don't have to worry about false positives in the middle of character strings or character literals.
