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
