clang-format: Format a file in-place.
$ clang-format -i ${filename}
try on your machine
This command is used to format C, C++, and Objective-C code files using the Clang Format tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "clang-format": This is the name of the command-line program, which is usually installed alongside the Clang compiler.
- "-i": This option stands for "in-place", and it tells Clang Format to modify the input file directly instead of printing the formatted code to the console.
- "${filename}": This is a placeholder representing the name of the file you want to format. You need to replace "${filename}" with the actual path or name of the file you want to format.
- For example, if you want to format a file named "example.cpp" located in the current directory, you would replace "${filename}" with "example.cpp".
By running this command in the terminal, you can automatically format your code file according to the specified coding style rules.
