uncrustify(1) 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.
-F FILE
Read files to process from FILE
, one filename per line.
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.
