| 1 | +.TH ANSI2KNR 1 "19 Jan 1996" |
| 2 | +.SH NAME |
| 3 | +ansi2knr \- convert ANSI C to Kernighan & Ritchie C |
| 4 | +.SH SYNOPSIS |
| 5 | +.I ansi2knr |
| 6 | +[--varargs] input_file [output_file] |
| 7 | +.SH DESCRIPTION |
| 8 | +If no output_file is supplied, output goes to stdout. |
| 9 | +.br |
| 10 | +There are no error messages. |
| 11 | +.sp |
| 12 | +.I ansi2knr |
| 13 | +recognizes function definitions by seeing a non-keyword identifier at the left |
| 14 | +margin, followed by a left parenthesis, with a right parenthesis as the last |
| 15 | +character on the line, and with a left brace as the first token on the |
| 16 | +following line (ignoring possible intervening comments). It will recognize a |
| 17 | +multi-line header provided that no intervening line ends with a left or right |
| 18 | +brace or a semicolon. These algorithms ignore whitespace and comments, except |
| 19 | +that the function name must be the first thing on the line. |
| 20 | +.sp |
| 21 | +The following constructs will confuse it: |
| 22 | +.br |
| 23 | + - Any other construct that starts at the left margin and follows the |
| 24 | +above syntax (such as a macro or function call). |
| 25 | +.br |
| 26 | + - Some macros that tinker with the syntax of the function header. |
| 27 | +.sp |
| 28 | +The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for |
| 29 | +backwards compatibility. The present version of |
| 30 | +.I ansi2knr |
| 31 | +will always attempt to convert a ... argument to va_alist and va_dcl. |
| 32 | +.SH AUTHOR |
| 33 | +L. Peter Deutsch < [email protected]> wrote the original ansi2knr and |
| 34 | +continues to maintain the current version; most of the code in the current |
| 35 | +version is his work. ansi2knr also includes contributions by Francois |
