Bridge CLI

Overview

The Bridge Command Line Interface (Bridge CLI) allows you to run scans and receive results from the command line, either by scripting or running the commands manually. Bridge CLI invokes adapters that handle Coverity and Black Duck scanning, along with abstracting the various extensions and variables for them.
