# cundecl(1)

encode C type declarations

## NAME

**cundecl** – encode C type declarations

## SYNOPSIS

**cundecl** \[**-V**\] \[**-o** *file*\] \[*file ...*\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **cundecl** utility reads a verbose english description and produces a C type declaration. Casts are accepted as well.

The options are as follows:

- **-o** *file*

  Set the output destination to *file*.

- **-V**

  Print version information on standard output then exit.

## EXAMPLES

```
declare s as pointer to char;
declare x as function (fmt as pointer to const char, ...) returning int;
cast s into pointer to const char;
cast f into pointer to function (int) returning void;
```

## SEE ALSO

[cdecl(1)](/cdecl/1.md)

## STANDARDS

The **cundecl** utility is expected to be ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”) compatible.
