Bug #128219 for Perl-Tidy: Add no argument example

Fri Jan 11 23:42:23 2019 jidanni [...] jidanni.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Add no argument example

Man page says: EXAMPLES perltidy somefile.pl This will produce a file somefile.pl.tdy containing the script reformatted using the default options, which approximate the style suggested in perlstyle(1). The source file somefile.pl is unchanged. perltidy *.pl Execute perltidy on all .pl files in the current directory with the default options. The output will be in files with an appended .tdy extension. For any file with an error, there will be a file with extension .ERR. OK, but before the second, please add: perltidy < somefile.pl This will put the output instead on stdout.

This is already covered in the SYNOPSIS section at the start of the man page: perltidy [ options ] file1 file2 file3 ... (output goes to file1.tdy, file2.tdy, file3.tdy, ...) perltidy [ options ] file1 -o outfile perltidy [ options ] file1 -st >outfile perltidy [ options ] <infile >outfile
