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 man-
       ual.

       The cobfusc utility converts the	input file, written in the C language,
       into a human unreadable one, but	compilable.  The main work is convert-
       ing every identifier into a meaningless one, removing any  comment  and
       compacting 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	equiv-
	       alent  to the -ademt -i numeric options.	 The digraphize	option
	       is not enabled 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
	       table.  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
	       obfuscated.

       -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
	       table.
