NAME
uncrustify - C, C++, C#, D, Java and Pawn source code beautifier
SYNOPSIS
uncrustify [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,
--universalindent.
-F FILE
Read files to process from FILE, one filename per line.
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
specified.
This cannot be combined with -f, --replace, or --no-backup.
--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
control
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.
