UNCRUSTIFY(1) User Commands UNCRUSTIFY(1)NAMEuncrustify - C, C++, C#, D, Java and Pawn source code beautifier
SYNOPSISuncrustify [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, --uni‐
versalindent.
--check
Do not output the new text, instead verify that nothing changes
when the file(s) are processed. The status of every file is
printed to stderr. The exit code is EXIT_SUCCESS if there were
no changes, EXIT_FAILURE otherwise.
-F FILE
Read files to process from FILE, one filename per line. If FILE
is ´-´ then read filenames from standard input instead of a
file.
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 speci‐
fied.
This cannot be combined with -f, --replace, or --no-backup.
--frag Assume the input is a code fragment and the first line is prop‐
erly 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 con‐
trol
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.
