+.TH ANSI2KNR 1 "19 Jan 1996"
+.SH NAME
+ansi2knr \- convert ANSI C to Kernighan & Ritchie C
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.I ansi2knr
+[--varargs] input_file [output_file]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+If no output_file is supplied, output goes to stdout.
+.br
+There are no error messages.
+.sp
+.I ansi2knr
+recognizes function definitions by seeing a non-keyword identifier at the left
+margin, followed by a left parenthesis, with a right parenthesis as the last
+character on the line, and with a left brace as the first token on the
+following line (ignoring possible intervening comments).  It will recognize a
+multi-line header provided that no intervening line ends with a left or right
+brace or a semicolon.  These algorithms ignore whitespace and comments, except
+that the function name must be the first thing on the line.
+.sp
+The following constructs will confuse it:
+.br
+     - Any other construct that starts at the left margin and follows the
+above syntax (such as a macro or function call).
+.br
+     - Some macros that tinker with the syntax of the function header.
+.sp
+The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for
+backwards compatibility.  The present version of
+.I ansi2knr
+will always attempt to convert a ... argument to va_alist and va_dcl.
