        !             2: .SH NAME
        !             3: ansi2knr \- convert ANSI C to Kernighan & Ritchie C
        !             4: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             5: .I ansi2knr
        !             6: [--varargs] input_file [output_file]
        !             7: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             8: If no output_file is supplied, output goes to stdout.
        !             9: .br
        !            10: There are no error messages.
        !            11: .sp
        !            12: .I ansi2knr
        !            13: recognizes function definitions by seeing a non-keyword identifier at the left
        !            14: margin, followed by a left parenthesis, with a right parenthesis as the last
        !            15: character on the line, and with a left brace as the first token on the
        !            16: following line (ignoring possible intervening comments).  It will recognize a
        !            17: multi-line header provided that no intervening line ends with a left or right
        !            18: brace or a semicolon.  These algorithms ignore whitespace and comments, except
        !            19: that the function name must be the first thing on the line.
        !            20: .sp
        !            21: The following constructs will confuse it:
        !            22: .br
        !            23:      - Any other construct that starts at the left margin and follows the
        !            24: above syntax (such as a macro or function call).
        !            25: .br
        !            26:      - Some macros that tinker with the syntax of the function header.
        !            27: .sp
        !            28: The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for
        !            29: backwards compatibility.  The present version of
        !            30: .I ansi2knr
        !            31: will always attempt to convert a ... argument to va_alist and va_dcl.
