   cb(1)                     (Advanced C Utilities)                      cb(1)


   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.

         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.
