+ NAME
+
+ cflow - generate a C-language flowgraph (DEVELOPMENT)
+
+ SYNOPSIS
+
+ cflow [-r][-d num][-D name[=def]] ... [-i incl][-I dir] ...
+ [-U dir] ... file ...
+
+ DESCRIPTION
+
+ The cflow utility shall analyze a collection of object files or
+ assembler, C-language, lex, or yacc source files, and attempt to
+ build a graph, written to standard output, charting the external
+ references.
+
+ OPTIONS
+
+ The cflow utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of
+ IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines,
+ except that the order of the -D, -I, and -U options (which are
+ identical to their interpretation by c99) is significant.
+
+ The following options shall be supported:
+ -d num
+ Indicate the depth at which the flowgraph is cut off. The
+ application shall ensure that the argument num is a decimal
+ integer. By default this is a very large number (typically
+ greater than 32000). Attempts to set the cut-off depth to a
+ non-positive integer shall be ignored.
+ -i incl
+ Increase the number of included symbols. The incl
+ option-argument is one of the following characters:
+ x
+ Include external and static data symbols. The default
+ shall be to include only functions in the flowgraph.
+ _
+ (Underscore) Include names that begin with an underscore.
+ The default shall be to exclude these functions (and data
+ if -i x is used).
+ -r
+ Reverse the caller:callee relationship, producing an inverted
+ listing showing the callers of each function. The listing shall
+ also be sorted in lexicographical order by callee.
+
+ OPERANDS
+
+ The following operand is supported:
+ file
+ The pathname of a file for which a graph is to be generated.
+ Filenames suffixed by .l shall shall be taken to be lex input,
+ .y as yacc input, .c as c99 input, and .i as the output of c99
+ -E. Such files shall be processed as appropriate, determined by
+ their suffix.
+ Files suffixed by .s (conventionally assembler source) may have
+ more limited information extracted from them.
+
+ STDIN
+
+ Not used.
+
+ INPUT FILES
+
+ The input files shall be object files or assembler, C-language,
+ lex, or yacc source files.
+
+ ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+
+ The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+ cflow:
+ LANG
+ Provide a default value for the internationalization variables
+ that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
+ IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization
+ Variables for the precedence of internationalization variables
+ used to determine the values of locale categories.)
+ LC_ALL
+ If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all
+ the other internationalization variables.
+ LC_COLLATE
+ Determine the locale for the ordering of the output when the -r
+ option is used.
+ LC_CTYPE
+ Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of
+ bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
+ opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).
+ LC_MESSAGES
+ Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format
+ and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
+ NLSPATH
+ Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing
+ of LC_MESSAGES .
+
+ ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
+
+ Default.
+
+ STDOUT
+
+ The flowgraph written to standard output shall be formatted as
+ follows:
+"%d %s:%s\n", <reference number>, <global>, <definition>
+
+ Each line of output begins with a reference (that is, line) number,
+ followed by indentation of at least one column position per level.
+ This is followed by the name of the global, a colon, and its
+ definition. Normally globals are only functions not defined as an
+ external or beginning with an underscore; see the OPTIONS section
+ for the -i inclusion option. For information extracted from
+ C-language source, the definition consists of an abstract type
+ declaration (for example, char *) and, delimited by angle brackets,
+ the name of the source file and the line number where the
+ definition was found. Definitions extracted from object files
+ indicate the filename and location counter under which the symbol
+ appeared (for example, text).
+
+ Once a definition of a name has been written, subsequent references
+ to that name contain only the reference number of the line where
+ the definition can be found. For undefined references, only "<>"
+ shall be written.
+
+ STDERR
+
+ The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+
+ OUTPUT FILES
+
+ None.
+
+ EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
+
+ None.
+
+ EXIT STATUS
+
+ The following exit values shall be returned:
+ 0
+ Successful completion.
+ >0
+ An error occurred.
+
+ CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
+
+ Default.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+ The following sections are informative.
+
+ APPLICATION USAGE
+
+ Files produced by lex and yacc cause the reordering of line number
+ declarations, and this can confuse cflow. To obtain proper results,
+ the input of yacc or lex must be directed to cflow.
+
+ EXAMPLES
+
+ Given the following in file.c:
+int i;
+int f();
+int g();
+int h();
+int
+main()
+{
+ f();
+ g();
+ f();
+}
+int
+f()
+{
+ i = h();
+}
+
+ The command:
+cflow -i x file.c
+
+ produces the output:
+1 main: int(), <file.c 6>
+2 f: int(), <file.c 13>
+3 h: <>
+4 i: int, <file.c 1>
+5 g: <>
+
+ RATIONALE
+
+ None.
+
+ FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+
+ None.
