.SH DESCRIPTION
Vulture scans for unused classes, functions and variables.
.PP
Due to Python's dynamic nature it's impossible to find all ununsed code for a
static code analyzer, because it ignores scopes and scans only token names.
Additionally, some dynamic items that are not explicitly called in the code may
be incorrectly reported.
