NAME

cb − C program beautifier

SYNOPSIS

cb [ −s ] [ −j ] [ −l leng ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

The cb comand reads 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 code.  Under default options, cb preserves all user new-lines.  cb accepts the following options. 

−s Canonicalizes the code to the style of Kernighan and Ritchie in The C Programming Language.

−j Causes split lines to be put back together. 

−l leng Causes cb to split lines that are longer than leng.
