Indent (Unix)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The correct title of this article is indent. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.

indent is a Unix utility that reformats C and C++ code in a user-defined coding style. Support for C++ code is considered experimental.

[edit] Examples of usage

The command line

indent somefile.c -st -bad --blank-lines-after-procedures -bli0 -i4 -l79 \
-ncs -npcs -nut -npsl -fca -lc79 -fc1

indents somefile.c in a style resembling BSD/Allman style and writes the result to the standard output.

[edit] GNU indent

GNU indent is the GNU Project's version of indent. A different indent style, the GNU style, is used by default.
