+bcpp (C/C++ source beautifier)
+
+bcpp indents C/C++ source programs, replacing tabs with spaces or the
+reverse. Unlike indent, it does (by design) not attempt to wrap long
+statements. It supports quite a few options to control the output; see
+the man page for details.
+
+Note that bcpp looks in the current directory for bcpp.cfg, by default
+(there is no system-wide config file in /etc). Two sample config files
+are installed in the documentation directory. These can be used with
+the -fnc option, and should be used as templates for creating your own
+project-specific config files.
