NAME

       uncrustify - C, C++, C#, D, Java and Pawn source code beautifier

SYNOPSIS

       uncrustify [OPTIONS] [FILES]

DESCRIPTION

       If no input files are specified, the input is read from stdin.
       If reading from stdin, you should specify the language using -l.

       If -F is used or files are specified on the command line, the output filename is PFX + "/"
       + filename + SFX.
       Unless, of course, the options --replace or --no-backup are used.

       When reading from stdin or doing a single file via the '-f' option, the output  is  dumped
       to stdout, unless redirected with -o FILE.

       Errors are always dumped to stderr

OPTIONS

   Basic Options:
       -c CFG Use the config file CFG.
              If not specified, uncrustify will use $UNCRUSTIFY_CONFIG or $HOME/.uncrustify.cfg.

       -f FILE
              Process  the  single file FILE, sending output to stdout or the file specified with
              -o.

       -o FILE
              Redirect output to FILE.
              Use with -f, --update-config, --update-config-with-doc, --universalindent.

       --check
              Do not output the new text, instead verify that nothing changes  when  the  file(s)
              are  processed.  The  status  of  every file is printed to stderr. The exit code is
              EXIT_SUCCESS if there were no changes, EXIT_FAILURE otherwise.

       -F FILE
              Read files to process from FILE, one filename per line.  If FILE is ´-´  then  read
              filenames from standard input instead of a file.
              You can create this file using something like ´find . -name "*.c" > list.txt´.
              This cannot be combined with -f.

       --prefix PFX
              Prepend PFX to the output filename path.
              This cannot be combined with -f, --replace, or --no-backup.

       --suffix SFX
              Append SFX to the output filename.
              The default is '.uncrustify' if neither SFX or PFX are specified.
              This cannot be combined with -f, --replace, or --no-backup.

       --frag Assume the input is a code fragment and the first line is properly indented.

       --replace
              Replace source files (creates a backup).
              This cannot be combined with -f, --prefix, or --suffix.

       --no-backup
              Replace files, no backup. Useful if files are under source control
              This cannot be combined with -f, --prefix, or --suffix.

       --mtime
              Preserve mtime on replaced files.

       -l     Language override: C, CPP, D, CS, JAVA, PAWN, VALA, OC, OC+

       -t     Load a file with types (usually not needed)

       -q     Quiet mode - no output on stderr (-L will override)

   Config/Help Options:
       -h -? --help --usage
              Print this message and exit

       --version
              Print the version and exit

       --show-config
              Print out option documentation and exit

       --update-config
              Output a new config file.

       --update-config-with-doc
              Output a new config file with embedded usage comments.

       --universalindent
              Output a config file for Universal Indent GUI.

       --detect
              Detects  the config from a source file. Use with '-f FILE'.  Detection is currently
              fairly limited.

   Debug Options:
       -p FILE
              Dump debug info to a file

       -L SEV Set the log severity (see log_levels.h)

       -s     Show the log severity in the logs

       --decode FLAG
              Print FLAG as text and exit

EXAMPLES

       Read a D file from stdin, output to stdout.
              cat foo.d | uncrustify -q -c my.cfg -l d

       Process a file, output to stdout.
              uncrustify -c my.cfg -d foo.d

       Process a source tree, output to a different tree.
              find src -name "*.[ch]" > files.txt
              uncrustify -c my.cfg -F files.txt --prefix out

       Process a source tree in‐place.
              uncrustify -c my.cfg --no-backup $(find src -name "*.[ch]")

NOTES

       Use comments containing ' *INDENT-OFF*' and ' *INDENT-ON*' to disable processing of  parts
       of the source file.
