.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. |
|

.sp

|

.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The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for |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. |
