1.1       maekawa     1: .TH ANSI2KNR 1 "19 Jan 1996"
                      2: .SH NAME
                      3: ansi2knr \- convert ANSI C to Kernighan & Ritchie C
                      4: .SH SYNOPSIS
                      5: .I ansi2knr
                      6: [--varargs] input_file [output_file]
                      7: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      8: If no output_file is supplied, output goes to stdout.
                      9: .br
                     10: There are no error messages.
                     11: .sp
                     12: .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.
                     20: .sp
                     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                     28: The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for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.
