cb(1)                    USER COMMANDS                      cb(1)



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.
