call-path
Finds the shortest resolved call path from one symbol to another.
Read this when you want to know whether routine A ever reaches routine B and how. call-path prints the shortest resolved call path between two symbols, and exits 1 when there is none.
How to run it
Full flag list: call-path in the CLI reference.
Flags
| Flag | Argument | Meaning | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

--to | <B> | ||
--max-depth | N | ||
--db | PATH | ||

Details
Finds the shortest resolved call path from one symbol to another. Reach for it to answer "does A ever reach B, and how" without manually walking a call tree.
Running it from the CLI
drag-lint call-path --from <A> --to <B> [--max-depth N] --db PATH [--json]--from <A> and --to <B> are qualified symbol names. --max-depth N
bounds the search. Exit code 1 means no path was found. --json emits
machine-readable output.
Reaching it in the IDE
No IDE surface -- this is a CLI-only feature.
What it needs
An index IS required. The project's DB lives at
<project folder>\_D-RAG\<project file>.sqlite; run
drag-lint resolve-dbs --project <X.dproj> if unsure.
Example
Illustrative only:
drag-lint call-path --from TfrmMain.btnSaveClick --to CustomerOrder.TCustomerOrder.Total --db C:\Projects\MyApp\_D-RAG\MyApp.sqlite --jsonThis would report the shortest resolved call chain from the button handler
down to Total, or exit 1 if no such chain exists.
