CLANG-RENAME(1)

✨ clang-rename ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of clang-rename, and this is literally the manual page for clang-rename 15 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

clang-rename — manual page for clang-rename 15

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole vibe is this: you feed it some source files and it renames stuff for you. the usage is:

USAGE: clang-rename [options] <source0> [... <sourceN>]

and then we get into the options, which are split into two little groups, bestie 🎀

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

⭐ Generic Options

the basic-everything-flags, iykyk:

• --help — shows you all the available options (and if you add --help-hidden you get even more, lowkey the secret menu 👀)
• --help-list — shows you the list of available options (and --help-list-hidden for more, same energy as above fr fr)
• --version — shows you what version of this program you're running, so you know exactly what you're working with 💁

🌈 clang-rename common options

this is the main character section, periodt:

• --export-fixes=<filename> — drops a YAML file where all the suggested fixes get stored, so nothing gets lost 🫶
• --extra-arg=<string> — one extra argument to append onto the compiler command line
• --extra-arg-before=<string> — same thing but it gets prepended instead, front of the line energy 👑
• --force — tells it to ignore qualified names that don't exist. it's giving "don't check, just do it"
• -i — overwrites the edited <file>s. like, actually writes the changes in 🔥
• --input=<string> — a YAML file to load your oldname-newname pairs from, so you can batch the whole thing
• --new-name=<string> — the new name you want the symbol changed to, the actual glow-up ✨
• --offset=<uint> — finds the symbol by offset instead of by <line>:<column>
• -p <string> — the build path
• --pl — prints the locations affected by the renaming out to stderr
• --pn — prints the found symbol's name out to stderr before the renaming happens
• --qualified-name=<string> — the fully qualified name of the symbol, no ambiguity, no games 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie — no notes, no skipped options, every single flag accounted for 🎀
