2.1. Common Options

Options common to all the commands include

--no_action={true| false} or -n

Do not write any output files. Instead output the list of files that would have been written to standard out.

--line_width=width

Set the maximum line width for pretty printing code. The default value is 72 characters.

--output_directory=dir or -d dir

By default the output will be placed in the same directory as the input file from which it was produced. Some commands like --java will create their own subdirectory to place their output. The --output_directory option overrides the default output directory.

--view=name or -V name

Sets the default view to name. The default view name is by convention the command name with the first character capitalized. See the section sect.views in the user guide for a more detailed description.
