12.2.2.3 ‘-ycb’: Size of line buffer for C output, in bytes

FTANGLE outputs lines of a fixed maximum length. It attempts to split them in a reasonable way, dependent on the language. When it absolutely can’t figure out how to split the line, it will issue a warning message and split it anyway. The ‘-ycb’ option controls the maximum output line length for C and C++.

The analogous command ‘-yxb’ controls the output line length for TeX and the verbatim mode. See -yxb.
