Answer 1

You can include files of unrecognized type by using the --include-ext option. In your case, assuming the files have a .esql extension:

cloc --include-ext=esql .

Further, cloc has the option --read-binary-files, but the man page warns that this is usually a bad idea.

Check man cloc for more information on the man page.
