NAME

       clang-format - manual page for clang-format 6.0

DESCRIPTION

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

       -assume-filename=<string> - When reading from stdin, clang-format assumes this
              filename to look for a style config file (with -style=file) and to determine the language.

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

       -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.

       -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.

       -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, Google, Chromium, 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
