Usage |
se pretty [options] <source_file> ...
Command pretty is the SmartEiffel pretty-printer (code beautifier) for Eiffel source files.
The source_file argument must be some existing Eiffel source file
path as for example "integer.e" or "lib/kernel/integer.e".
One can specify more than one file name at a time in order to apply the pretty command on many files.
All the corresponding files are reprinted in a pretty way.
There are four modes of pretty-printing: -zen, -default, -end and -parano mode. Only one mode can be selected and mode -default is the default mode.

will not trigger a warning).
Security and BackUp File |
For the security of sources files, a backup file is created
before writing the new file (the system or the pretty command may
crash during printing of the new file).
The backup file name is "foo.bak" when source file name is
"foo.e". Backup file is written in the same directory as
source file.
If an old backup file already exists before pretty printing,
the pretty command exits with an error message.
To be sure that the pretty-printing is well done, the output
file is parsed again.
Even if second parsing gives no errors, backup file is NOT
removed. Thus you can recompile your Eiffel code to check
new file before removing backup file by yourself.
