       NAME
             cb - C program beautifier

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

       DESCRIPTION
             The cb command 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, it preserves
             all user new-lines.  cb processes supplementary code set
             characters according to the locale specified in the LC_CTYPE
             environment variable [see LANG on environ(5)].

             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.

       NOTICES
             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.
