cb(1)                                                                 cb(1)

NAME
     cb - C program beautifier

SYNOPSIS
     cb [-s] [-j] [-l length] [-V] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The cb command (C program beautifier) reads C programs either from the
     files specified by 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
     newline characters.

     cb accepts the following options.

     -s   Write the code in the style of Kernighan and Ritchie.

     -j   Put split lines back together.

     -l length
          cb will split lines that are longer than length.

     -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 indenta-
     tion errors.
