# cvtimport(1)

Convert import to include utility

## NAME

cvtimport - Convert import to include utility

## SYNOPSIS

**cvtimport \[-c\]** foo.h bar.m ...

## DESCRIPTION

**cvtimport** is a utility (implemented as an [awk(1)](/awk/1.md) script) that converts #import preprocessor directives in Objective-C headers (or source files), to #include directives.  Also, unless given the -c option, it converts //-style comments to traditional C comments (/\* ... \*/).  The utility works **inplace** on the files that are specified on the command line, but makes a backup of the original file.

- **-c**

  Do not change //-style comments to /\* \*/ style comments.

## FILES

foo.m	converted foo.m~	backup
