how to set custom rule for unused variable and method in php code sinffer?

I am using php code sniffer with smyfony 3.1.

Package Name:Squiz I am trying to run phpcs command in my symfony based project.

Command: 

phpcs --standard=/c/xampp/php/pear/PHP/CodeSniffer/Standards/Squiz  src/MYBundle/Controller/MYController.php

Command is working fine, In this controller/class i have declared some private variable and method name which is not used anywhere in the controller/class.

Ruleset

I have appended new rule in the ruleset.xml file and create new file under this directory [Sniffs\Rule\UnusedPrivateField] UnusedPrivateField.php

<rule name="UnusedPrivateField"
          since="0.2"
          message="Avoid unused private fields such as '{0}'."
          class="Sniffs\Rule\UnusedPrivateField"
          externalInfoUrl="http://phpmd.org/rules/unusedcode.html#unusedprivatefield"></rule>

Question: How to call "UnusedPrivateField.php" code from new rule set ?

You can use UnusedPrivateElementsSniff for this.

I use it for over a year and it works great.
