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.
