C program beautifier
From the original Amiga UNIX 2.1 manual. Some things it mentions may not be in this release.
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.
