    1: .TH ANSI2KNR 1 "19 Jan 1996"
    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   28: The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for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.
   32: .SH AUTHOR
   33: L. Peter Deutsch <ghost@aladdin.com> wrote the original ansi2knr and
   34: continues to maintain the current version; most of the code in the current
   35: version is his work.  ansi2knr also includes contributions by Francois
   36: Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca> and Jim Avera <jima@netcom.com>.
