CLANG-REORDER-FIELDS(1)

💖 clang-reorder-fields — the manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, so clang-reorder-fields is a User Command and this is literally its whole manual page, but with the ✨vibes✨ turned all the way up. it's version 19 btw. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

clang-reorder-fields — no cap, it's exactly what it sounds like: a tool that reorders fields in C/C++ structs/classes. iconic behavior honestly 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

OVERVIEW: a tool to reorder fields in C/C++ structs/classes. that's the whole mission statement, and it ate. 🔥

USAGE:

clang-reorder-fields [options] <source0> [... <sourceN>]

so you pass it one or more source files (<source0>, and then ... <sourceN> if you've got a whole squad of them), plus whatever options your heart desires. main character energy fr fr. 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so here's the thing — these options come in two little groups, and both are important. do not skip, bestie, we don't skip here. 🙈

💜 Generic Options

the basics. the essentials. the "everyone gets these" girlies.

• --help — displays the available options. and if you're feeling extra nosy, --help-hidden shows you even more. 👀
• --help-list — displays a whole list of the available options. and yes, there's a --help-list-hidden for more, because of course there is. ✨
• --version — displays the version of this program. (spoiler: it's 19, iykyk) 🦋

🌈 clang-reorder-fields options

the ones that make this tool this tool. the moment. the slay.

• --extra-arg=<string> — an additional argument to append to the compiler command line. appending, not prepending — order matters, bestie. 💅
• --extra-arg-before=<string> — an additional argument to prepend to the compiler command line. yes, this one goes first. that's the whole difference and it's lowkey crucial. 🌸
• --fields-order=<string> — the desired fields order. that's it. that's the vibe you're asking for. 🎀
• -i — overwrite edited files. in-place edits, no new files, straight up committed to the bit. 🔥
• -p <string> — build path. you point at where the build lives. 🧚
• --record-name=<string> — the name of the struct/class. tell it which one you're messing with, girl. 👑

⚠️ real talk though: these flags are doing actual compiler things. --extra-arg and --extra-arg-before literally change the compiler command line, and -i writes straight over your files. know what you're passing before you pass it. 💀
