+Measure complexity of C source
+
+Complexity scans your C source code to help you:
+
+* Locate suspicious areas in unfamiliar code
+* Get an idea of how much effort may be required to understand that code
+* Get an idea of the effort required to test a code base
+* Provide a reminder to yourself. You may see what you've written as
+ obvious, but others may not. It is useful to have a hint about what code may
+ seem harder to understand by others, and then decide if some rework may be in
+ order.
