Unknown option: by_percent about cloc

That's odd, works for me. Note that --by-percent takes an argument that defines how the denominator in the percentage is computed. Here's output I get when I count lines of cloc itself using code count as the denominator:

ubuntu> cloc --by-percent c cloc
       1 text file.
       1 unique file.                              
       0 files ignored.

What happens when you run

cloc --by-percent c cloc

?

Hi, sorry for the delay. I just had a kid, things are crazy :) Here's the output:

sam@sam-VirtualBox ~ $ cloc --by-percent c cloc
Unknown option: by-percent

hey, that's great! The sleep deprivation in the early year(s) is a real drag though.

Anyway, I have a theory on what's going on: the cloc command you're invoking may not be the one you downloaded. What do you get for

cloc --version

? If it isn't 1.65, then you aren't running a version that has the feature. You can download the source to a local directory then run

./cloc --version

and you should see the latest.

thanks! It was versioning...
