       clang-format - manual page for clang-format 9

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:

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

       --version                  - Display the version of this program
