$ clang-format -help
- OVERVIEW: A tool to format C/C++/Obj-C code.
+ OVERVIEW: A tool to format C/C++/Java/JavaScript/Objective-C/Protobuf code.
If no arguments are specified, it formats the code from standard input
and writes the result to the standard output.
Clang-format options:
- -cursor=<uint> - The position of the cursor when invoking
- clang-format from an editor integration
- -dump-config - Dump configuration options to stdout and exit.
- Can be used with -style option.
- -i - Inplace edit <file>s, if specified.
- -length=<uint> - Format a range of this length (in bytes).
- Multiple ranges can be formatted by specifying
- several -offset and -length pairs.
- When only a single -offset is specified without
- -length, clang-format will format up to the end
- of the file.
- Can only be used with one input file.
- -lines=<string> - <start line>:<end line> - format a range of
- lines (both 1-based).
- Multiple ranges can be formatted by specifying
- several -lines arguments.
- Can't be used with -offset and -length.
- Can only be used with one input file.
- -offset=<uint> - Format a range starting at this byte offset.
- Multiple ranges can be formatted by specifying
- several -offset and -length pairs.
- Can only be used with one input file.
- -output-replacements-xml - Output replacements as XML.
- -style=<string> - Coding style, currently supports:
- LLVM, Google, Chromium, Mozilla, WebKit.
- Use -style=file to load style configuration from
- .clang-format file located in one of the parent
- directories of the source file (or current
- directory for stdin).
- Use -style="{key: value, ...}" to set specific
- parameters, e.g.:
- -style="{BasedOnStyle: llvm, IndentWidth: 8}"
-
- General options:
-
- -help - Display available options (-help-hidden for more)
- -help-list - Display list of available options (-help-list-hidden for more)
- -version - Display the version of this program
+ -assume-filename=<string> - When reading from stdin, clang-format assumes this
+ filename to look for a style config file (with
+ -style=file) and to determine the language.
+ -cursor=<uint> - The position of the cursor when invoking
+ clang-format from an editor integration
+ -dump-config - Dump configuration options to stdout and exit.
+ Can be used with -style option.
+ -fallback-style=<string> - The name of the predefined style used as a
+ fallback in case clang-format is invoked with
+ -style=file, but can not find the .clang-format
+ file to use.
+ Use -fallback-style=none to skip formatting.
+ -i - Inplace edit <file>s, if specified.
+ -length=<uint> - Format a range of this length (in bytes).
+ Multiple ranges can be formatted by specifying
+ several -offset and -length pairs.
+ When only a single -offset is specified without
+ -length, clang-format will format up to the end
+ of the file.
+ Can only be used with one input file.
+ -lines=<string> - <start line>:<end line> - format a range of
+ lines (both 1-based).
+ Multiple ranges can be formatted by specifying
+ several -lines arguments.
+ Can't be used with -offset and -length.
+ Can only be used with one input file.
+ -offset=<uint> - Format a range starting at this byte offset.
+ Multiple ranges can be formatted by specifying
+ several -offset and -length pairs.
+ Can only be used with one input file.
+ -output-replacements-xml - Output replacements as XML.
+ -sort-includes - Sort touched include lines
+ -style=<string> - Coding style, currently supports:
+ LLVM, Google, Chromium, Mozilla, WebKit.
+ Use -style=file to load style configuration from
+ .clang-format file located in one of the parent
+ directories of the source file (or current
+ directory for stdin).
+ Use -style="{key: value, ...}" to set specific
+ parameters, e.g.:
+ -style="{BasedOnStyle: llvm, IndentWidth: 8}"
