.rescan(tracker, files, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Rescan a subset of files in a Rails application.

A full scan must have been run already to use this method. The returned Tracker object from Brakeman.run is used as a starting point for the rescan.

Options may be given as a hash with the same values as Brakeman.run. Note that these options will be merged into the Tracker.

This method returns a RescanReport object with information about the scan. However, the Tracker object will also be modified as the scan is run.
