CB(1)

NAME

cb − C program beautifier

SYNOPSIS

cb [ -js ] [ -l length ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Cb reads syntactically correct C programs from from its input or the given files, and writes them to its stdout with a more visually pleasing spacing and indentation. Cb understands no C++ syntax bar newline-terminated comments; and by default all user new-lines are preserved in the output.

The options are:

-j Join split lines.

-s Print code in the so-called K&R style used in The C Programming Language.

-l Split lines that are longer than length.

BUGS

Cb does not reformat structure initializers.
Punctuation hidden in macros can cause indentation errors.
