c2lout(1)

convert C and C++ source code into Lout

NAME

c2lout - convert C and C++ source code into Lout

SYNOPSIS

c2lout [ options ] C-files

DESCRIPTION

Reformat C and C++ source code for input to the Lout document formatting system, taking care of comments, character strings, tab characters, etc.

c2lout reads the named C and C++ files and produces output suitable for input to "lout -s". Thus,

c2lout myprog.c | lout -s | lpr

will print myprog.c on a PostScript printer. Each file will start on a new page, preceded by its name in bold.

OPTIONS

-pfixed

Use a fixed width font (the default).

-pvarying

Use a varying-width italic font with non-italic bold keywords.

-psymbol

Use a varying-width italic font with mathematical symbols and non-italic bold keywords.

-n

Do not print the file name before each C or C++ file.

-f<font>

Select a font family. The default is -fCourier for -pfixed, and -fTimes for -pvarying and -psymbol.

-s<size>

Select a Lout font size. The default is -s9p (meaning 9 points) for -pfixed, and -s10p for -pvarying and -psymbol. These work well with 80-character-wide programs.

-v<vsize>

Select a Lout vertical inter-line gap. The default is -v1.1fx meaning 1.1 times the font size measured from baseline to baseline.

-t<num>

Set the tab interval to <num> characters (default is -t8).

-T<width>

Without this option, c2lout simulates tabs with spaces. With this option, c2lout simulates tabs with Lout tabulation operators; <width> is the width of one tab interval in the final print, measured in Lout units. This guarantees alignment of characters following tabs even with varying-width fonts, provided <width> is sufficiently large. For example, -T0.5i produces half-inch tab intervals.

-u

Print usage information on stderr.

-V

Print version information on stderr.

RAW MODE

There is a "raw mode" usage of c2lout invoked by a -r flag. This converts one C file into Lout-readable source without any heading or trailing information. Synopsis:

c2lout -r -i<infile> -o<outfile> -e<errfile> -t<num> -T<width>

Users should never need this mode; it is invoked automatically from within Lout by the @CP symbol from the cprint package (see reference).
