💅 NAME 💅

clang-apply-replacements — literally the manual page for clang-apply-replacements 13, bestie. She takes your replacement files and makes them real. Main character energy fr fr. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the whole vibe, no cap:

USAGE: clang-apply-replacements [options] <Search Root Directory>

That's it, that's the shape of it. You hand her a <Search Root Directory> and some options, and she does the thing. 🦋

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

🌸 Formatting Options

These are the glow-up options. Purely about making your changed code look cute. ✨

  • --format — Enable formatting of code changed by applying replacements. Lowkey the whole point is that your edits come out pretty. Use -style to choose the formatting style. 💖
  • --style=<string> — Coding style, currently supports: LLVM, GNU, Google, Chromium, Microsoft, Mozilla, WebKit.

Use -style=file to load style configuration from .clang-format file located in one of the parent directories of the source file (or current directory for stdin). She'll go hunting up the directory tree for you, periodt. 🔍

Use -style="{key: value, ...}" to set specific parameters, e.g.:

-style="{BasedOnStyle: llvm, IndentWidth: 8}"

iykyk — that's how you get exactly the indent width you want. 🎀

  • --style-config=<string> — Path to a directory containing a .clang-format file describing a formatting style to use for formatting code when -style=file. Basically: "bestie, the config lives here." 📁

🌈 Generic Options

The classics. Every tool has them, and she's no different. 🙈

  • --help — Display available options (--help-hidden for more). Yes there's a hidden menu, it's giving secret level. 💀
  • --help-list — Display list of available options (--help-list-hidden for more). Same deal, but a list. 📋
  • --version — Display the version of this program. Screenshot it, send it to the group chat. 🫶

💜 Replacement Options

The serious ones. Handle with care. 🔥

  • --remove-change-desc-files — Remove the change description files regardless of successful merging/replacing.
⚠️ Not me warning you — "regardless" means regardless. Those files go bye-bye even if the merge/replace didn't work out. She said no refunds. 💀

so yeah, that's the whole page. run her, love her, let her format your code. 🧚

catch you later — this was clang-apply-replacements 13, from July 2023, and you can find the whole fam under CLANG-APPLY-REPLACEMENTS(1). mwah 💅
