scarfer

Source code scan report file reporter

Introduction

Scarfer outputs compliance related information from a scan report.

A scan report contain lots of information, for example Scancode has 37 entries on the top level for each file, about a file and it is sometimes cumbersome to open with an editor to extract the information wanted. Scarfer provides a quick command line access to scan reports.

Features

Scarfer can output the following information per file:

• copyright (using -c)

• license (using -l)

• text that caused the license detection (-m)

Scarfer can output the following summaries

• license summary (using -ls)

• copyright summary (using -cs)

Filter

Scarfer can filter files:

• include files with:

  • license name (-il) using Python's regular expressions

  • files (-if) using Python's regular expressions

  • files (-iff) by reading a file, containing file names, using Python's regular expressions

  • copyright (-ec) using Python's regular expressions

• exclude files with:

  • license name (-el) using Python's regular expressions

  • files (-ef) using Python's regular expressions

  • files (-eff) by reading a file, containing file names, using Python's regular expressions

  • copyright (-ec) using Python's regular expressions

Note: if you're using more than one filter then filters are AND:ed together

Curate

Scarfer can curate (fix, amend) license identifications:

• curate license (-cml) for all files with missing license

• curate license (-cfl) for all files matching Python's regular expressions

Configuration file

Scarfer can write and read configuration files:

• output current (-oc) command line options to a configuration output

• read configuration file (--config)

Example use

Output the file names (full path) of all the files in the Scancode report example-data/cairo-1.16.0-scan.json:

$ scarfer example-data/cairo-1.16.0-scan.json 

As above but output only files with path matching drm:

$ scarfer example-data/cairo-1.16.0-scan.json -if drm

Output the file names (full path) of all the files in the Scancode report example-data/cairo-1.16.0-scan.json with a license matching gpl-3:

$ scarfer example-data/cairo-1.16.0-scan.json -il gpl-3

Output the file names (full path) of all the files in the Scancode report example-data/cairo-1.16.0-scan.json with a license matching mpl and files with path matching drm. The output should also contain information (per file) about license and copyright:

$ scarfer example-data/cairo-1.16.0-scan.json -il mpl -if drm -c -l 

To filter in all files containing "/*pdi" and ending with ".c":

$ scarfer example-data/cairo-1.16.0-scan.json -if "/.*pdi.*\.c$"

To filter out all files containing "/*pdi" and ending with ".c":

$ scarfer example-data/cairo-1.16.0-scan.json -ef "/.*pdi.*\.c$"

Supported scan report formats

• Scancode Toolkit, version 21 and upwards

• Scancode Output Format version 1.0.0, 2.0.0, 3.0, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1.0

Hints on source code scanners

Scancode 32.0*

Assuming you want to scan a directory called cairo and store the output in cairo-scan.json:

scancode -clipe \
  --license-text   --license-text-diagnostics        \
  --classify       --license-clarity-score --summary \
  -n $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l)   \
  --json-pp cairo-scan.json cairo
