NAME
     cobfusc -- make a C source file unreadable but compilable

SYNOPSIS
     cobfusc [-AabdemntxV] [-c case] [-f suffix] [-g file] [-i idobf]
	     [-o file] [-p prefix] [-r file] [-s seed] [-u file] [-w cols]
	     [-z file] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     This  document  contains  only  a brief description of cobfusc.  For a more
     complete documentation, please read the Info file or the Texinfo manual.

     The cobfusc utility converts the input file, written  in  the  C  language,
     into  a  human unreadable one, but compilable.  The main work is converting
     every identifier into a meaningless one, removing any comment and	compact-
     ing all the white-spaces when they are not required.

     The options are as follows:

     -A      Enable a heavy obfuscation for the source file.  This is equivalent
	     to the -ademt -i numeric options.	The digraphize option is not en-
	     abled  by	default  since	the  Amendement 1 (1994) changes to ANSI
	     X3.159-1989 ("ANSI C89") are supported only by few C compilers.

     -a      Garble every string with octal escapes.

     -b      Enable the digraphize mode.

     -c no | lower | upper | screw | random
	     Set the identifier case obfuscation mode.

     -d      Compact the macros removing backslashes and white-spaces when  they
	     are not required.

     -e      Compact the white-spaces when they are not required.

     -f suffix
	     Put  the  output  of  each  processed  file in a separate file with
	     suffix appended to file name instead of standard output.	This  is
	     useful when processing a package with a lot of source files.

     -g file
	     Add  first the identifiers contained in file to the obfuscation ta-
	     ble. Useful when those identifiers are shared between two	or  more
	     source files.

     -i no | numeric | word | random
	     Set the identifier obfuscation mode.

     -m      Strip the comments.

     -n      Garble integers with expressions.

     -o file
	     Set the output destination to file.

     -p prefix
	     Specify the prefix to use when generating the identifiers.

     -r file
	     Tell cobfusc that the identifiers contained in file must not be ob-
	     fuscated.

     -s seed
	     Specify the seed for generating the random numbers.

     -t      Enable the trigraphize mode.

     -u      Dump the symbol table to file.

     -V      Print version information on standard output then exit.

     -w      Set the width limit of the output.

     -x      Exclusive	mode; obfuscate only the identifiers specified by the -g
	     and -z parameters.

     -z file
	     Add the identifiers pairs contained in file to the obfuscation  ta-
	     ble.
