-The `error id` is the id that you want to suppress. The easiest way to get it is to use the --template=gcc command line flag. The id is shown in brackets.
+The `error id` is the id that you want to suppress. The id of a warning is shown in brackets in the normal cppcheck text output. The suppression `error id` may contain \* to match any sequence of tokens.

 For instance, if the warning contains a relative path, then the suppression must match that relative path.
