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.
