CB(1-SVR4)          RISC/os Reference Manual           CB(1-SVR4)



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, 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.

INTERNATIONAL FUNCTIONALITY
     cb can process characters from supplementary code sets as
     well as ASCII characters.
