       clang-format - manual page for clang-format 3.5

DESCRIPTION

       OVERVIEW: A tool to format C/C++/Obj-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).

       -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.

       -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}"

       General 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
