ansi2knr(1)
NAME
ansi2knr - convert ANSI C to Kernighan & Ritchie C
SYNOPSIS
ansi2knr input_file output_file
DESCRIPTION
If no output_file is supplied, output goes to stdout.
There are no error messages.
ansi2knr recognizes functions by seeing a non-keyword
identifier at the left margin, followed by a left paren
thesis, with a right parenthesis as the last character on
the line. It will recognize a multi-line header if the
last character on each line but the last is a left paren
thesis or comma. These algorithms ignore whitespace and
comments, except that the function name must be the first
thing on the line.
- The following constructs will confuse it:
- - Any other construct that starts at the left margin
- and follows the above syntax (such as a macro or function
call). - - Macros that tinker with the syntax of the function
- header.
