cb(CP)


cb -- C program beautifier

Syntax

cb [-s] [-j] [-l leng] [-V] [file ... ]

Description

The cb command reads syntatically correct C programs either from file or from standard input and writes them on standard output with spacing and indentation that display the structure of the C code. By default, cb preserves all user newlines. cb processes supplementary code set characters according to the locale specified in the LC_CTYPE environment variable (see LANG on environ(M)).

cb accepts the following options:


-s
Formats the code in the style of Kernighan and Ritchie found in ``The C Programming Language.''

-j
Rejoin split lines.

-l leng
Split lines that are longer than leng.

-V
Print on standard error output the version of cb invoked.

Notes

cb treats asm as a keyword.

The format of structure initializations is unchanged by cb.

Punctuation that is hidden in preprocessor directives causes indentation errors.
