Name

cb - C program beautifier

Synopsis

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

Description

The cb comand reads syntactically correct C programs either from its arguments or from the standard input, and writes them on the standard output with spacing and indentation that display the structure of the C code. By default, cb preserves all user new-lines.

Options

cb accepts the following options.

-s

Write the code in the style of Kernighan and Ritchie found in The C Programming Language.

-j

Put split lines back together.

-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 preprocessing directives causes indentation errors.
