ANSI2KNR(1) General Commands Manual ANSI2KNR(1)
NAME
ansi2knr - convert ANSI C to Kernighan & Ritchie C
SYNOPSIS
ansi2knr [--varargs] input_file [output_file]
DESCRIPTION
If no output_file is supplied, output goes to stdout.
There are no error messages.
ansi2knr recognizes function definitions by seeing a non-keyword identifier at the left
margin, followed by a left parenthesis, with a right parenthesis as the last character on
the line, and with a left brace as the first token on the following line (ignoring possi-
ble intervening comments). It will recognize a multi-line header provided that no inter-
vening line ends with a left or right brace or a semicolon. 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).
- Some macros that tinker with the syntax of the function header.
The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for backwards compatibility. The
present version of ansi2knr will always attempt to convert a ... argument to va_alist and
va_dcl.
AUTHOR
L. Peter Deutsch <ghost@aladdin.com> wrote the original ansi2knr and continues to maintain
the current version; most of the code in the current version is his work. ansi2knr also
includes contributions by Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca> and Jim Avera
<jima@netcom.com>.
