✨ NAME ✨

clang-apply-replacements — bestie, this is the manual page for clang-apply-replacements 17, and it lives in the User Commands corner of the man universe 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the vibe. You run it like this:

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

That's it. That's the whole entrance. Now let's get into the options, because there are a few and they all matter 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💖 Formatting Options 💖

• --format — turns on formatting of the code that got changed by applying replacements. If you want to pick which style it uses, go hand that job to -style.
• --style=<string> — sets the coding style. Now, <string> is giving "I contain multitudes," because it can be any one of these four things:
  1. A preset, and the presets on the menu are: LLVM, GNU, Google, Chromium, Microsoft, Mozilla, WebKit.
  2. 'file' — loads the style config from a .clang-format file in one of the parent directories of the source file (and for stdin, see --assume-filename, iykyk). If there's no .clang-format file to be found anywhere, it falls back to --fallback-style. Also, heads up: --style=file is the default, so this is the one you're getting unless you say otherwise.
  3. 'file:<format_file_path>' — when you want to explicitly point at the configuration file, no searching, no guessing, just the exact path.
  4. "{key: value, ...}" — for setting specific parameters by hand, like so:

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

• --style-config=<string> — a path to a directory that contains a .clang-format file, and that file describes the formatting style to use for formatting code when you're running -style=file.

⭐ Generic Options ⭐

• --help — displays the available options. And if you want the hidden ones too, --help-hidden is right there.
• --help-list — displays the list of available options. Same deal: --help-list-hidden exists for the secret menu.
• --version — displays the version of this program. Iconic of it, honestly.

🌈 Replacement Options 🌈

• --ignore-insert-conflict — ignores an insert conflict and keeps on running so it can fix things. Not me being chill about conflict 💀
• --remove-change-desc-files — removes the change description files no matter what, regardless of whether merging/replacing succeeded. Periodt.
