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.
--check
Do not output the new text, instead verify that nothing changes
when the file(s) are processed. The status of every file is
printed to stderr. The exit code is EXIT_SUCCESS if there were no
changes, EXIT_FAILURE otherwise.
-F FILE
Read files to process from FILE, one filename per line. If FILE
is '-' then read filenames from standard input instead of a file.
You can create this file using something like 'find . -name "*.c"
> list.txt'.

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]")
