DESCRIPTION

       ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakeroot-sysv.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object
       file): ignored.  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) 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.

       -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
