NAME
cb, pp - C program beautifier and pretty printer
SYNOPSIS
cb [ option ] ... [ file ] ...
pp [ option ] ... [ file ] ...
DESCRIPTION
Cb reads C programs either from the named files or from the standard
input and writes them on the standard output with spacing and indenta‐
tion that displays the structure of the code. The options are:
-s place newlines as in Kernighan and Ritchie. (Original newlines
are preserved by default.)
-j join split lines.
-l leng
split lines that are longer than leng.
Pp formats the named C source files, or its standard input if none are
given, and writes a `publication format' on the standard output for
printing on a typesetter with filters like d202(1). The options are
-Tdev prepare output for devices named as in troff(1); default is 202
-b use bold fonts suffixed `K' rather than `B'
-ffont set the main font; the default is MM, Memphis Medium
-kfile cause words in the named file, one per line, to be recognized as
keywords; the file will be looked up in /usr/lib/pp if it is not
in the current directory
-ttitle
generate a title page with the title specified and a date stamp
DIAGNOSTICS
Pp complains and exits if it cannot find a required font. If this hap‐
pens, take the name of the missing font to a local font guru.

BUGS
Punctuation hidden in preprocessor statements causes cb to make inden‐
tation errors.
