This document describes the list of plugins that can be used in the associated exec-helper binaries.

General plugins¶

command-line-command: The command-line-command plugin is used for executing arbitrary command line commands. See Command-line-command plugin (5).

zsh: The zsh plugin is used for executing arbitrary commands in the zsh shell. This is very useful for executing command lines that need special shell characters like &&, |, ;, >. See Zsh plugin (5).

selector: The selector plugin is used for selecting certain configuration paths based on the value of a pattern. See Selector plugin (5).

docker: The docker plugin is used for running commands inside a Docker container. See Docker plugin (5).

Build plugins¶

make: The make plugin is used for running the make build system. See Make plugin (5).

scons: The scons plugin is used for running the scons build system. See Scons plugin (5).

cmake: The cmake plugin is used for running the CMake build system. See CMake plugin (5).

meson: The meson plugin is used for running the CMake build system. See Meson plugin (5).

Analysis plugins¶

clang-static-analyzer: The clang-static-analyzer plugin is used for applying the clang static analyzer tool on source code files. See Clang-static-analyzer plugin (5).

clang-tidy: The clang-tidy plugin is used for applying the clang tidy tool on source code files. See Clang-tidy plugin (5).

cppcheck: The cppcheck plugin is used for applying cppcheck on source code files. See Cppcheck plugin (5).

lcov: The lcov plugin is used for applying the lcov code coverage analysis tool. See Lcov plugin (5).

pmd: The pmd plugin is used for applying pmd analysis on source code files. See Pmd plugin (5).

valgrind: The valgrind plugin is used for applying valgrind analysis. See Valgrind plugin (5).

Custom plugins¶

You can write your own plugins and integrate them with exec-helper. These plugins are first-class citizens: you can write plugins that overwrite the system plugins themselves. See Custom plugins (5) for more information on writing your own plugins.
