- .TH ANSI2KNR 1 "19 Jan 1996"
- .SH NAME
- ansi2knr \- convert ANSI C to Kernighan & Ritchie C
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .I ansi2knr
- [--varargs] input_file [output_file]
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- If no output_file is supplied, output goes to stdout.
- .br
- There are no error messages.
- .sp
- .I 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 possible intervening comments). It will recognize a
- multi-line header provided that no intervening 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.
- .sp
- The following constructs will confuse it:
- .br
- - Any other construct that starts at the left margin and follows the
- above syntax (such as a macro or function call).
- .br
- - Some macros that tinker with the syntax of the function header.
- .sp
- The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for
- backwards compatibility. The present version of
- .I ansi2knr
- will always attempt to convert a ... argument to va_alist and va_dcl.
- .SH 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>.
