NAME

c-to-cpp-convert - Convert a C file to C++

SYNOPSIS

c-to-cpp-convert

DESCRIPTION

c-to-cpp-convert changes the buffer type from C to C++ and loads the C++ language template cpp(9). The command is only available once a 'C' file is loaded as the command is defined within the C language template file hkc.emf.

The command is normally used when a new C++ file is being created, if the default file type is C rather than C++ then the new file is converted to C++ by changing the magic string from -*- c -*- to -*- c++ -*-, whenever the file is subsequently loaded then it will be presented in the correct mode.

SEE ALSO

c(9), cpp(9).
