Analyzer::Rust::Cli

Inherits CliEndpointSupport < Analyzer < FileHelper < Reference < Object

Surfaces the command-line attack surface of Rust programs as cli:// endpoints: one endpoint per (sub)command with named options (param_type "flag"), positional arguments ("argument") and consumed environment variables ("env"). Covers std::env::args/var plus the clap / structopt / argh derive macros and the getopts builder API (Options::new() + opts.optopt/optflag/optflagopt/optmulti/reqopt).

Scope notes (follow-ups): the clap builder API (Command::new(...) .arg(Arg::new(...))) is only recognized as a CLI signal, not parsed into args — a line-scan can't reliably track its method-chain/paren scoping. Tuple subcommand variants that reference a separate #[derive(Args)] struct (Serve(ServeArgs)) surface that struct's flags on the root rather than the subcommand, since the variant→struct link isn't resolved here; inline-field variants (Serve { ... }) attribute correctly.

Line-scan analyzer (Go/Python CLI house style) with a cross-file URL-merge, instead of the tree-sitter analyze_file path the HTTP Rust analyzers use. Subclasses Analyzer directly (RustEngine#analyze_file is abstract) and reuses RustEngine.test_path? as a class method.

Constants

ARGH_ATTR_RE = /#\[\s*argh\s*\(([^\]]*)\)/

BUILDER_NEW = /Command::new\s*\(\s*"([^"]+)"/

clap builder marker (used only to recognise a builder-style CLI; the builder arg/subcommand tree is a follow-up — see the note in analyze).

CLAP_ATTR_RE = /#\[\s*(?:arg|structopt|clap)\s*\(([^\]]*)\)/

clap/structopt field attribute, e.g. #[arg(short, long, env = "X")].

DERIVE_RE = /#\[\s*derive\s*\(([^)]*)\)/

ENV_ARGS_RE = /\b(?:std::)?env::args(?:_os)?\s*\(/

ENV_VAR_RE = /\b(?:std::)?env::var(?:_os)?\s*\(\s*"([^"]+)"/

builtin.

FIELD_RE = /^\s*(?:pub\s+)?(\w+)\s*:/

GETOPTS_CALL_RE = /\b(\w+)\.(?:optopt|reqopt|optflagopt|optflag|optmulti)\s*\(\s*"([^"]*)"\s*,\s*"([^"]*)"/

GETOPTS_NEW_RE = /\blet\s+(?:mut\s+)?(\w+)(?:\s*:\s*(?:getopts::)?Options)?\s*=\s*(?:getopts::)?Options::new\s*\(\s*\)/

getopts: a flat (no-subcommand) builder API. let mut opts = Options::new(); binds a receiver variable, then opts.optopt(short, long, desc, hint) / optflag(short, long, desc) / optflagopt(short, long, desc, hint) / optmulti(short, long, desc, hint) / reqopt(short, long, desc, hint) register each option on it. The optional type-annotation group tolerates a getopts:: prefix (let mut opts: getopts::Options = ...), matching the same prefix already tolerated before Options::new.

ITEM_RE = /\b(?:struct|enum)\s+\w+/

VARIANT_RE = /^\s*(?:#\[\s*command\s*\(\s*name\s*=\s*"([^"]+)"[^\]]*\)\s*\]\s*)?([A-Z]\w*)/

Web crates: their env::var reads are config, not a CLI surface.

tech

Instance-side view of the same declaration. The per-file rescues live on this base class, which has no way to name the analyzer that is running inside them, so a skipped file could not be attributed to a tech. Deriving it from analyzer_for keeps the name written exactly once.
