       clang-format - manual page for clang-format 11

DESCRIPTION

       OVERVIEW: A tool to format C/C++/Java/JavaScript/Objective-C/Protobuf/C# code.

       If  no  arguments  are  specified,  it  formats the code from standard input and writes the result to the
       standard output.  If <file>s are given, it reformats the files. If -i is specified together with <file>s,
       the files are edited in-place. Otherwise, the result is written to the standard output.

       USAGE: clang-format [options] [<file> ...]

       OPTIONS:

       Clang-format options:

       --Werror                   - If set, changes formatting warnings to errors

       --assume-filename=<string> - Override filename used to determine the language.
              When reading from stdin, clang-format assumes this filename to determine the language.

       --cursor=<uint>            - The position of the cursor when invoking
              clang-format from an editor integration

       --dry-run                  - If set, do not actually make the formatting changes

       --dump-config              - Dump configuration options to stdout and exit.
              Can be used with -style option.

       --fallback-style=<string>  - The name of the predefined style used as a
              fallback in case clang-format is invoked with -style=file, but can not find the .clang-format file
              to use.  Use -fallback-style=none to skip formatting.

       --ferror-limit=<uint>      - Set the maximum number of clang-format errors to emit before stopping  (0  =
              no limit). Used only with --dry-run or -n

       -i                         - Inplace edit <file>s, if specified.

       --length=<uint>            - Format a range of this length (in bytes).
              Multiple  ranges  can  be  formatted by specifying several -offset and -length pairs.  When only a
              single -offset is specified without -length, clang-format will format up to the end of  the  file.
              Can only be used with one input file.

       --lines=<string>           - <start line>:<end line> - format a range of
              lines  (both  1-based).   Multiple ranges can be formatted by specifying several -lines arguments.
              Can't be used with -offset and -length.  Can only be used with one input file.

       -n                         - Alias for --dry-run

       --offset=<uint>            - Format a range starting at this byte offset.
              Multiple ranges can be formatted by specifying several -offset and -length  pairs.   Can  only  be
              used with one input file.

       --output-replacements-xml  - Output replacements as XML.

       --sort-includes              -  If  set,  overrides  the  include  sorting  behavior  determined  by  the
              SortIncludes style flag

       --style=<string>           - Coding style, currently supports:
              LLVM, GNU, Google, Chromium, Microsoft, Mozilla, WebKit.

       Use -style=file to load style configuration from
              .clang-format file located in one of the  parent  directories  of  the  source  file  (or  current
              directory for stdin).  Use -style="{key: value, ...}" to set specific parameters, e.g.:

              -style="{BasedOnStyle: llvm, IndentWidth: 8}"

       --verbose                  - If set, shows the list of processed files

       Generic Options:

       --help                     - Display available options (--help-hidden for more)

       --help-list                - Display list of available options (--help-list-hidden for more)

       --version                  - Display the version of this program
