CB(1)                       General Commands Manual                      CB(1)



NAME
       cb - C program beautifier

SYNOPSIS
       cb [ -js ] [ -l length ] [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Cb  reads  syntactically  correct C programs from from its input or the
       given files, and writes them to its stdout with a more visually  pleas‐
       ing spacing and indentation.  Cb understands no C++ syntax bar newline-
       terminated comments; and by default all user new-lines are preserved in
       the output.

       The options are:

       -j     Join split lines.

       -s     Print  code in the so-called K&R style used in The C Programming
              Language.

       -l     Split lines that are longer than length.

SOURCE
       /sys/src/cmd/cb

BUGS
       Cb does not reformat structure initializers.
       Punctuation hidden in macros can cause indentation errors.
