NAME

lucytidy.pl - Auto-format Lucy code.

SYNOPSIS

    lucytidy.pl [options] PATH

DESCRIPTION

Lucy uses various automatic code formatters for the different languages it supports: AStyle, a.k.a. Artistic Style, for C code, Perltidy for Perl, etc. This wrapper script walks the directory structure pointed to by the supplied PATH and decides based on file type which formatter to run. It also works around some formatter quirks and bugs so that we don't have to live with compromises in our actual code.

OPTIONS

     lucytidy.pl --suffix="" PATH
