Let's explore the CppDepend.Console command line options!

• The path to the CppDepend project file(.cdproj).
  It must be specified as the first argument. If you need to specify a path that contains a space character use double quotes ".. ..". Relative paths are not supported. These remarks also apply to paths provided with options /OutDir and /XslForReport.

• /ViewReport: to view the HTML report
• /Silent: to disable output and eventual calls to Console.Read() on console
• /HideConsole: to hide the console window.
• /FullAnalysis: launch the full analysis.
• /LogTrendMetrics: to force log trend metrics.
• /XslForReport xlsFilePath: to provide your own Xsl file used to build report. The path specified must be absolute.
• /OutDir dir : to override the output dir specified in the CppDepend project file. The dir specified must be absolute. VisualCppDepend.exe won't work on the machine where you used CppDepend.Console.exe with the option /OutDir because VisualCppDepend.exe is not aware of the output dir specified and will try to use the output dir specified in your CppDepend project file.
• /EmitVisualNDependBinXml: to emit the file VisualCppDepend.bin.xml VisualCppDepend.bin.xml is an xml file that contains the dependencies graph of your application. It can be used for your own purpose. VisualCppDepend.exe uses VisualCppDepend.bin which is a GZipStream compressed version of VisualCppDepend.bin.xml.
• /Help: to display the current help on console
