NAME

c++2latex - a C++ to LaTeX converter

SYNOPSIS

c++2latex [-a] [-b size] [-c] [-h] [-i length] [-n] [-o file] [-p] [-s fontsize] [-C font] [-H font] [-K font] [-P font] [-S font] [-T width] [-V] [+ansi-c] [+brace-tab size] [+complete-file] [+header] [+indentation length] [+output file] [+font-size size] [+pipe] [+comment-font font] [+keyword-font font] [+cpp-font font] [+header-font font] [+string-font font] [+tabstop width] [+version] file

DESCRIPTION

c++2latex is a tool for generating LaTeX sources from ANSI-C or C++ programs. It recogizes all keywords, strings, and comments. These recognized parts can be typeset in different fonts. c++2latex can generate complete LaTeX files which can pass directly through latex(1) or parts of LaTeX files which can be included in other files (either direct or by the \\input or \\include commands).

The output filename is searched in various steps. First, if the {-o,+output} flag is given, the output is written to the file pointed to by the value of this flag. If the {-p,+pipe} option is given, the output is written to stdout. (It is an error to specify both options together.) If none of these options but an input filename is given, the output is written to a file who's name is the last component of the input filename with the added suffix '.tex'.

OPTIONS

c++2latex recognizes the following options:

{-a,+ansi-c}: The input is an ANSI-C program. Default is C++, so don't give this option for C++ programs and always give this option for ANSI-C programs.
{-b,+brace-tab}: This changes the tabulator size of a comment belonging to a closing brace. Default is 4*indentation (see -i option).
{-c,+complete-file}: The output is enveloped in commands which produce a complete LaTeX source.
{-h,+header}: Each page of output has a header giving the input file name. This option implies the {-c,+complete-file} option.
{-i,+indentation} length: Gives the amount of indentation for each leading blank (tabs are converted to blanks). Default is `0.5em'.
{-n,+no-alignment}: Comments belonging to statements are aligned to the right paper side by default. You can turn off this behaviour using this switch.
{-o,+output} file: The output is written in the file pointed to by file.
{-s,+font-size} size: The LaTeX source is set in sizept. Default is `10'.
{-p,+pipe}: The output is written to stdout.
{-C,+comment-font} font: The comments are set in the given font. Default is `it'.
{-H,+header-font} font: The headers are set in the given font. Default is `sl'.
{-K,+keyword-font} font: The keywords are set in the given font. Default is `bf'.
{-P,+cpp-font} font: The preprocessor directives are set in the given font. Default is `tt'.
{-S,+string-font} font: The string and character constants are set in the given font. Default is `tt'.
{-T,+tabstop} width: The width of tabs is width. Default is `8'.
{-V,+version}: Prints the version number on stderr.

OPTION SUMMARY

To give no option at all is the same as to give the options: -i 0.5em -s 10 -C it -H sl -K bf -P tt -S tt -T 8

DIAGNOSTICS

Can't use {-p,+pipe} and {-o,+output} together.: At most one of this options may be given.

Can't open `<file>' for reading: The program failed to open <file> for reading.

Can't open `<file>' for writing: The program failed to open <file> for writing. All output is written in the current directory if not explicitly changed by {-o,+output}.

Virtual memory exhausted: The program failed to allocate storage. As this is only done for the construction of filenames, this error will normally indicate a program error.

BUGS

The program should be completly rewitten to understand language descriptions ala tgrind.
