PURPOSE

     Puts C source code into a form that is easily read.

SYNOPSIS
     cb [ -s ] [ -j ] [ -l leng ] [ file ... ]


DESCRIPTION

     The cb  command reads C  programs from standard  input or
     from specified  files and writes them  to standard output
     in a  form that shows, through  indentations and spacing,
     the structure of the code.  When called without flags, cb
     does not split  or join lines.  Note  that punctuation in
     preprocessor statements can cause indentation errors.

FLAGS

     -j          Joins lines that are split.
     -l  length  Splits lines that are longer than length.
     -s          Formats  the  source  code according  to  the
                 style of Kernighan and  Ritchie in The C Pro-
                 gramming  Language.  (Englewood  Cliffs,  New
                 Jersey: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1978.).

EXAMPLE

     To create a version of "pgm.c" called "pgm.pretty.c" that
     is easy to read:

       cb  pgm.c  > pgm.pretty.c
