ANSI2KNR(1)                          General Commands Manual                          ANSI2KNR(1)

NAME
       ansi2knr - convert ANSI C to Kernighan & Ritchie C

SYNOPSIS
       ansi2knr input_file output_file

DESCRIPTION
       If no output_file is supplied, output goes to stdout.
       There are no error messages.

       ansi2knr  recognizes functions by seeing a non-keyword identifier at the left margin, fol-
       lowed by a left parenthesis, with a right parenthesis as the last character on  the  line.
       It will recognize a multi-line header if the last character on each line but the last is a
       left parenthesis or comma.  These algorithms ignore whitespace and comments,  except  that
       the function name must be the first thing on the line.

       The following constructs will confuse it:
            -  Any  other  construct  that starts at the left margin and follows the above syntax
       (such as a macro or function call).
            - Macros that tinker with the syntax of the function header.
