.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
5 |
.I ansi2knr
|
|
|

[--varargs] input_file [output_file]

.SH DESCRIPTION
|

|

|

|

There are no error messages.

.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.
|
|
|

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The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for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