Synopsis
codeql dataset import --dbscheme=<file> [--threads=<num>] <options>... -- <dataset> <trap>...
codeql dataset import --dbscheme=<file> [--threads=<num>] <options>... -- <dataset> <trap>...
Description
[Plumbing] Import a set of TRAP files to a raw dataset.
Create a dataset by populating it with TRAP files, or add data from TRAP files to an existing dataset. Updating a dataset is only possible if it has the correct dbscheme and its ID pool has been preserved from the initial import.
Primary options
<dataset>
[Mandatory] Path to the raw QL dataset to create or update. The directory will be created if it doesn't already exist.
<trap>...
Paths to .trap(.gz) files to import, or to directories that will be recursively scanned for .trap(.gz) files. If no files are given, an empty dataset will be created.
-S, --dbscheme=<file>
[Mandatory] The dbscheme definition that describes the TRAP files you want to import.
-j, --threads=<num>
Use this many threads for the import operation.
Defaults to 1. You can pass 0 to use one thread per core on the machine, or -N to leave N cores unused (except still use at least one thread).
--[no-]check-undefined-labels
[Advanced] Report errors for undefined labels.
--[no-]check-unused-labels
[Advanced] Report errors for unused labels.
--[no-]check-repeated-labels
[Advanced] Report errors for repeated labels.
--[no-]check-redefined-labels
[Advanced] Report errors for redefined labels.
--[no-]check-use-before-definition
[Advanced] Report errors for labels used before they're defined.
--[no-]fail-on-trap-errors
[Advanced] Exit non-zero if an error occurs during trap import.
--[no-]include-location-in-star
[Advanced] Construct entity IDs that encode the location in the TRAP file they came from. Can be useful for debugging of TRAP generators, but takes up a lot of space in the dataset.
Common options
-h, --help
Show this help text.
-J=<opt>
[Advanced] Give option to the JVM running the command.
(Beware that options containing spaces will not be handled correctly.)
-v, --verbose
Incrementally increase the number of progress messages printed.
-q, --quiet
Incrementally decrease the number of progress messages printed.
--verbosity=<level>
[Advanced] Explicitly set the verbosity level to one of errors,
warnings, progress, progress+, progress++, progress+++. Overrides -v
and -q
.
--logdir=<dir>
[Advanced] Write detailed logs to one or more files in the given directory, with generated names that include timestamps and the name of the running subcommand.
(To write a log file with a name you have full control over, instead
give --log-to-stderr
and redirect stderr as desired.)
