'indent': Indent and Format C Program Source
********************************************
The 'indent' program changes the appearance of a C program by inserting
or deleting whitespace.
This is Edition 2.2.12, 2 September 2018, of 'The 'indent' Manual',

1 The 'indent' Program
**********************
The 'indent' program can be used to make code easier to read. It can
also convert from one style of writing C to another.
'indent' understands a substantial amount about the syntax of C, but
it also attempts to cope with incomplete and misformed syntax.
In version 1.2 and more recent versions, the GNU style of indenting
is the default.

1.1 Invoking 'indent'
=====================
As of version 1.3, the format of the 'indent' command is:
indent [OPTIONS] [INPUT-FILES]
indent [OPTIONS] [SINGLE-INPUT-FILE] [-o OUTPUT-FILE]
This format is different from earlier versions and other versions of
'indent'.
In the first form, one or more input files are specified. 'indent'
makes a backup copy of each file, and the original file is replaced with
its indented version. *Note Backup files::, for an explanation of how
backups are made.
In the second form, only one input file is specified. In this case,
or when the standard input is used, you may specify an output file after
the '-o' option.
To cause 'indent' to write to standard output, use the '-st' option.
This is only allowed when there is only one input file, or when the
standard input is used.
If no input files are named, the standard input is read for input.
Also, if a filename named '-' is specified, then the standard input is
read.
As an example, each of the following commands will input the program
'slithy_toves.c' and write its indented text to 'slithy_toves.out':
indent slithy_toves.c -o slithy_toves.out
indent -st slithy_toves.c > slithy_toves.out
cat slithy_toves.c | indent -o slithy_toves.out
Most other options to 'indent' control how programs are formatted.
As of version 1.2, 'indent' also recognizes a long name for each option
name. Long options are prefixed by either '--' or '+'. (1) In most of
this document, the traditional, short names are used for the sake of
brevity. *Note Option Summary::, for a list of options, including both
long and short names.
Here is another example:
indent -br test/metabolism.c -l85
This will indent the program 'test/metabolism.c' using the '-br' and
'-l85' options, write the output back to 'test/metabolism.c', and write
the original contents of 'test/metabolism.c' to a backup file in the
directory 'test'.
Equivalent invocations using long option names for this example would
be:
indent --braces-on-if-line --line-length185 test/metabolism.c
indent +braces-on-if-line +line-length185 test/metabolism.c
If you find that you often use 'indent' with the same options, you
may put those options into a file named '.indent.pro'. 'indent' will
look for a profile file in three places. First it will check the
environment variable 'INDENT_PROFILE'. If that exists its value is
expected to name the file that is to be used. If the environment
variable does not exist, indent looks for '.indent.pro' in the current
directory and use that if found. Finally 'indent' will search your home
directory for '.indent.pro' and use that file if it is found. This
behaviour is different from that of other versions of 'indent', which
load both files if they both exist.
The format of '.indent.pro' is simply a list of options, just as they
would appear on the command line, separated by white space (tabs,
spaces, and newlines). Options in '.indent.pro' may be surrounded by C
or C++ comments, in which case they are ignored.
Command line switches are handled _after_ processing '.indent.pro'.
Options specified later override arguments specified earlier, with one
exception: Explicitly specified options always override background
options (*note Common styles::). You can prevent 'indent' from reading
an '.indent.pro' file by specifying the '-npro' option.
---------- Footnotes ----------
(1) '+' is being superseded by '--' to maintain consistency with the
POSIX standard.

1.2 Backup Files
================
As of version 1.3, GNU 'indent' makes GNU-style backup files, the same
way GNU Emacs does. This means that either "simple" or "numbered"
backup filenames may be made.
Simple backup file names are generated by appending a suffix to the
original file name. The default for this suffix is the one-character
string '~' (tilde). Thus, the backup file for 'python.c' would be
'python.c~'.
Instead of the default, you may specify any string as a suffix by
setting the environment variable 'SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX' to your
preferred suffix.
Numbered backup versions of a file 'momeraths.c' look like
'momeraths.c.~23~', where 23 is the version of this particular backup.
When making a numbered backup of the file 'src/momeraths.c', the backup
file will be named 'src/momeraths.c.~V~', where V is one greater than
the highest version currently existing in the directory 'src'. The
environment variable 'VERSION_WIDTH' controls the number of digits,
using left zero padding when necessary. For instance, setting this
variable to "2" will lead to the backup file being named
'momeraths.c.~04~'.
The type of backup file made is controlled by the value of the
environment variable 'VERSION_CONTROL'. If it is the string 'simple',
then only simple backups will be made. If its value is the string
'numbered', then numbered backups will be made. If its value is
'numbered-existing', then numbered backups will be made if there
_already exist_ numbered backups for the file being indented; otherwise,
a simple backup is made. If 'VERSION_CONTROL' is not set, then 'indent'
assumes the behaviour of 'numbered-existing'.
Other versions of 'indent' use the suffix '.BAK' in naming backup
files. This behaviour can be emulated by setting 'SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX'
to '.BAK'.
Note also that other versions of 'indent' make backups in the current
directory, rather than in the directory of the source file as GNU
'indent' now does.

1.3 Common styles
=================
There are several common styles of C code, including the GNU style, the
Kernighan & Ritchie style, and the original Berkeley style. A style may
be selected with a single "background" option, which specifies a set of
values for all other options. However, explicitly specified options
always override options implied by a background option.
As of version 1.2, the default style of GNU 'indent' is the GNU
style. Thus, it is no longer necessary to specify the option '-gnu' to
obtain this format, although doing so will not cause an error. Option
settings which correspond to the GNU style are:
-nbad -bap -nbc -bbo -bl -bli2 -bls -ncdb -nce -cp1 -cs -di2
-ndj -nfc1 -nfca -hnl -i2 -ip5 -lp -pcs -nprs -psl -saf -sai
-saw -nsc -nsob
The GNU coding style is that preferred by the GNU project. It is the
style that the GNU Emacs C mode encourages and which is used in the C
portions of GNU Emacs. (People interested in writing programs for
Project GNU should get a copy of 'The GNU Coding Standards', which also
covers semantic and portability issues such as memory usage, the size of
integers, etc.)
The Kernighan & Ritchie style is used throughout their well-known
book 'The C Programming Language'. It is enabled with the '-kr' option.
The Kernighan & Ritchie style corresponds to the following set of
options:
-nbad -bap -bbo -nbc -br -brs -c33 -cd33 -ncdb -ce -ci4 -cli0
-cp33 -cs -d0 -di1 -nfc1 -nfca -hnl -i4 -ip0 -l75 -lp -npcs
-nprs -npsl -saf -sai -saw -nsc -nsob -nss -par
Kernighan & Ritchie style does not put comments to the right of code in
the same column at all times (nor does it use only one space to the
right of the code), so for this style 'indent' has arbitrarily chosen
column 33.
The style of the original Berkeley 'indent' may be obtained by
specifying '-orig' (or by specifying '--original', using the long option
name). This style is equivalent to the following settings:
-nbad -nbap -bbo -bc -br -brs -c33 -cd33 -cdb -ce -ci4 -cli0
-cp33 -di16 -fc1 -fca -hnl -i4 -ip4 -l75 -lp -npcs -nprs -psl
-saf -sai -saw -sc -nsob -nss -ts8
The Linux style is used in the linux kernel code and drivers. Code
generally has to follow the Linux coding style to be accepted. This
style is equivalent to the following settings:
-nbad -bap -nbc -bbo -hnl -br -brs -c33 -cd33 -ncdb -ce -ci4
-cli0 -d0 -di1 -nfc1 -i8 -ip0 -l80 -lp -npcs -nprs -npsl -sai
-saf -saw -ncs -nsc -sob -nfca -cp33 -ss -ts8 -il1

1.4 Blank lines
===============
Various programming styles use blank lines in different places.
'indent' has a number of options to insert or delete blank lines in
specific places.
The '-bad' option causes 'indent' to force a blank line after every
block of declarations. The '-nbad' option causes 'indent' not to force
such blank lines.
The '-bap' option forces a blank line after every procedure body.
The '-nbap' option forces no such blank line.
The '-bbb' option forces a blank line before every boxed comment
(*Note Comments::.) The '-nbbb' option does not force such blank lines.
The '-sob' option causes 'indent' to swallow optional blank lines
(that is, any optional blank lines present in the input will be removed
from the output). If the '-nsob' is specified, any blank lines present
in the input file will be copied to the output file.
* Menu:
* -bad:: More on the '-bad' option.
* -bap:: More on the '-bap' option.
File: indent.info, Node: -bad, Next: -bap, Up: Blank lines
1.4.1 -blank-lines-after-declarations
-------------------------------------
The '-bad' option forces a blank line after every block of declarations.
The '-nbad' option does not add any such blank lines.
For example, given the input
char *foo;
char *bar;
/* This separates blocks of declarations. */
int baz;
'indent -bad' produces
char *foo;
char *bar;
/* This separates blocks of declarations. */
int baz;
and 'indent -nbad' produces
char *foo;
char *bar;
/* This separates blocks of declarations. */
int baz;
File: indent.info, Node: -bap, Prev: -bad, Up: Blank lines
1.4.2 -blank-lines-after-procedures
-----------------------------------
The '-bap' option forces a blank line after every procedure body.
For example, given the input
int
foo ()
{
puts("Hi");
}
/* The procedure bar is even less interesting. */
char *
bar ()
{
puts("Hello");
}
'indent -bap' produces
int
foo ()
{
puts ("Hi");
}
/* The procedure bar is even less interesting. */
char *
bar ()
{
puts ("Hello");
}
and 'indent -nbap' produces
int
foo ()
{
puts ("Hi");
}
/* The procedure bar is even less interesting. */
char *
bar ()
{
puts ("Hello");
}
No blank line will be added after the procedure 'foo'.

1.5 Comments
============
'indent' formats both C and C++ comments. C comments are begun with
'/*', terminated with '*/' and may contain newline characters. C++
comments begin with the delimiter '//' and end at the newline.
'indent' handles comments differently depending upon their context.
'indent' attempts to distinguish between comments which follow
statements, comments which follow declarations, comments following
preprocessor directives, and comments which are not preceded by code of
any sort, i.e., they begin the text of the line (although not
necessarily in column 1).
'indent' further distinguishes between comments found outside of
procedures and aggregates, and those found within them. In particular,
comments beginning a line found within a procedure will be indented to
the column at which code is currently indented. The exception to this
is a comment beginning in the leftmost column; such a comment is output
at that column.
'indent' attempts to leave "boxed comments" unmodified. The general
idea of such a comment is that it is enclosed in a rectangle or "box" of
stars or dashes to visually set it apart. More precisely, boxed
comments are defined as those in which the initial '/*' is followed
immediately by the character '*', '=', '_', or '-', or those in which
the beginning comment delimiter ('/*') is on a line by itself, and the
following line begins with a '*' in the same column as the star of the
opening delimiter.
Examples of boxed comments are:
/**********************
* Comment in a box!! *
**********************/
/*
* A different kind of scent,
* for a different kind of comment.
*/
'indent' attempts to leave boxed comments exactly as they are found
in the source file. Thus the indentation of the comment is unchanged,
and its length is not checked in any way. The only alteration made is
that an embedded tab character may be converted into the appropriate
number of spaces.
If the '-bbb' option is specified, all such boxed comments will be
preceded by a blank line, unless such a comment is preceded by code.
Comments which are not boxed comments may be formatted, which means
that the line is broken to fit within a right margin and left-filled
with whitespace. Single newlines are equivalent to a space, but blank
lines (two or more newlines in a row) are taken to mean a paragraph
break. Formatting of comments which begin after the first column is
enabled with the '-fca' option. To format those beginning in column
one, specify '-fc1'. Such formatting is disabled by default.
The right margin for formatting defaults to 78, but may be changed
with the '-lc' option. If the margin specified does not allow the
comment to be printed, the margin will be automatically extended for the
duration of that comment. The margin is not respected if the comment is
not being formatted.
If the '-fnc' option is specified, all comments with '/*' embedded
will have that character sequence replaced by a space followed by the
character '*' thus eliminating nesting.
If the comment begins a line (i.e., there is no program text to its
left), it will be indented to the column it was found in unless the
comment is within a block of code. In that case, such a comment will be
aligned with the indented code of that block (unless the comment began
in the first column). This alignment may be affected by the '-d'
option, which specifies an amount by which such comments are moved to
the _left_, or unindented. For example, '-d2' places comments two
spaces to the left of code. By default, comments are aligned with code,
unless they begin in the first column, in which case they are left there
by default -- to get them aligned with the code, specify '-fc1'.
Comments to the right of code will appear by default in column 33.
This may be changed with one of three options. '-c' will specify the
column for comments following code, '-cd' specifies the column for
comments following declarations, and '-cp' specifies the column for
comments following preprocessor directives '#else' and '#endif'. '-dj'
together with '-cd0' can be used to suppress alignment of comments to
the right of declarations, causing the comment to follow one tabstop
from the end of the declaration. Normally '-cd0' causes '-c' to become
effective.
If the code to the left of the comment exceeds the beginning column,
the comment column will be extended to the next tabstop column past the
end of the code, unless the '-ntac' option is specified. In the case of
preprocessor directives,comments are extended to to one space past the
end of the directive. This extension lasts only for the output of that
particular comment.
The '-cdb' option places the comment delimiters on blank lines.
Thus, a single line comment like '/* Loving hug */' can be transformed
into:
/*
Loving hug
*/
Stars can be placed at the beginning of multi-line comments with the
'-sc' option. Thus, the single-line comment above can be transformed
(with '-cdb -sc') into:
/*
* Loving hug
*/

1.6 Statements
==============
The '-br' or '-bl' option specifies how to format braces.
The '-br' option formats statement braces like this:
if (x > 0) {
x--;
}
The '-bl' option formats them like this:
if (x > 0)
{
x--;
}
If you use the '-bl' option, you may also want to specify the '-bli'
option. This option specifies the number of spaces by which braces are
indented. '-bli2', the default, gives the result shown above. '-bli0'
results in the following:
if (x > 0)
{
x--;
}
If you are using the '-br' option, you probably want to also use the
'-ce' option. This causes the 'else' in an if-then-else construct to
cuddle up to the immediately preceding '}'. For example, with '-br -ce'
you get the following:
if (x > 0) {
x--;
} else {
fprintf (stderr, "...something wrong?\n");
}
With '-br -nce' that code would appear as
if (x > 0) {
x--;
}
else {
fprintf (stderr, "...something wrong?\n");
}
An exception to the behavior occurs when there is a comment between
the right brace and the subsequent else statement. While the '-br'
option will cause a left brace to jump over the comment, the else does
not jump over the comment to cuddle because it has a strong likelihood
of changing the meaning of the comment.
The '-cdw' option causes the 'while' in a do-while loop to cuddle up
to the immediately preceding '}'. For example, with '-cdw' you get the
following:
do {
x--;
} while (x);
With '-ncdw' that code would appear as
do {
x--;
}
while (x);
The '-slc' option allows for an unbraced conditional and its inner
statement to appear on the same line. For example:
if (x) x--;
else x++;
Without '-slc' that code would appear as
if (x)
x--;
else
x++;
The '-cli' option specifies the number of spaces that case labels
should be indented to the right of the containing 'switch' statement.
The default gives code like:
switch (i)
{
case 0:
break;
case 1:
{
++i;
}
default:
break;
}
Using the '-cli2' that would become:
switch (i)
{
case 0:
break;
case 1:
{
++i;
}
default:
break;
}
The indentation of the braces below a case statement can be
controlled with the '-cbiN' option. For example, using '-cli2 -cbi0'
results in:
switch (i)
{
case 0:
break;
case 1:
{
++i;
}
default:
break;
}
If a semicolon is on the same line as a 'for' or 'while' statement,
the '-ss' option will cause a space to be placed before the semicolon.
This emphasizes the semicolon, making it clear that the body of the
'for' or 'while' statement is an empty statement. '-nss' disables this
feature.
The '-pcs' option causes a space to be placed between the name of the
procedure being called and the '(' (for example, 'puts ("Hi");'. The
'-npcs' option would give 'puts("Hi");').
If the '-cs' option is specified, 'indent' puts a space between a
cast operator and the object to be cast. The '-ncs' ensures that there
is no space between the cast operator and the object. Remember that
'indent' only knows about the standard C data types and so cannot
recognise user-defined types in casts. Thus '(mytype)thing' is not
treated as a cast.
The '-bs' option ensures that there is a space between the keyword
'sizeof' and its argument. In some versions, this is known as the
'Bill_Shannon' option.
The '-saf' option forces a space between a 'for' and the following
parenthesis. This is the default.
The '-sai' option forces a space between a 'if' and the following
parenthesis. This is the default.
The '-saw' option forces a space between a 'while' and the following
parenthesis. This is the default.
The '-prs' option causes all parentheses to be separated with a space
from whatever is between them. For example, using '-prs' results in
code like:
while ( ( e_code - s_code ) < ( dec_ind - 1 ) )
{
set_buf_break ( bb_dec_ind );
*e_code++ = ' ';
}
File: indent.info, Node: Declarations, Next: Indentation, Prev: Statements, Up: Indent Program
1.7 Declarations
================
By default 'indent' will line up identifiers, in the column specified by
the '-di' option. For example, '-di16' makes things look like:
int foo;
char *bar;
Using a small value (such as one or two) for the '-di' option can be
used to cause the identifiers to be placed in the first available
position; for example:
int foo;
char *bar;
The value given to the '-di' option will still affect variables which
are put on separate lines from their types, for example '-di2' will lead
to:
int
foo;
If the '-bc' option is specified, a newline is forced after each
comma in a declaration. For example,
int a,
b,
c;
With the '-nbc' option this would look like
int a, b, c;
The '-bfda' option causes a newline to be forced after the comma
separating the arguments of a function declaration. The arguments will
appear at one indention level deeper than the function declaration.
This is particularly helpful for functions with long argument lists.
The option '-bfde' causes a newline to be forced before the closing
bracket of the function declaration. For both options the 'n' setting
is the default: -nbfda and -nbfde.
For example,
void foo (int arg1, char arg2, int *arg3, long arg4, char arg5);
With the '-bfda' option this would look like
void foo (
int arg1,
char arg2,
int *arg3,
long arg4,
char arg5);
With, in addition, the '-bfde' option this would look like
void foo (
int arg1,
char arg2,
int *arg3,
long arg4,
char arg5
);
The '-psl' option causes the type of a procedure being defined to be
placed on the line before the name of the procedure. This style is
required for the 'etags' program to work correctly, as well as some of
the 'c-mode' functions of Emacs.
You must use the '-T' option to tell 'indent' the name of all the
typenames in your program that are defined by 'typedef'. '-T' can be
specified more than once, and all names specified are used. For
example, if your program contains
typedef unsigned long CODE_ADDR;
typedef enum {red, blue, green} COLOR;
you would use the options '-T CODE_ADDR -T COLOR'.
The '-brs' or '-bls' option specifies how to format braces in struct
declarations. The '-brs' option formats braces like this:
struct foo {
int x;
};
The '-bls' option formats them like this:
struct foo
{
int x;
};
Similarly to the structure brace '-brs' and '-bls' options, the
function brace options '-brf' or '-blf' specify how to format the braces
in function definitions. The '-brf' option formats braces like this:
int one(void) {
return 1;
};
The '-blf' option formats them like this:
int one(void)
{
return 1;
};
The '-sar' option affects how 'indent' will render initializer lists.
Without '-sar' they are formatted like this:
int a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
struct s {
const char *name;
int x;
} a[] = {
{"name", 0},
{"a", 1}
};
With '-sar' they are formatted like this, with spaces inside the braces:
int a[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
struct s {
const char *name;
int x;
} a[] = {
{ "name", 0 },
{ "a", 1 }
};

1.8 Indentation
===============
The most basic, and most controversial issues with regard to code
formatting is precisely how indentation should be acoomplished.
Fortunately, 'indent' supports several different styles of identation.
The default is to use tabs for indentation, which is specified by the
'-ut' option. Assuming the default tab size of 8, the code would look
like this:
int a(int b)
{
return b;
|------|
1 tab
}
For those that prefer spaces to tabs, 'indent' provides the '-nut'
option. The same code would look like this:
int a(int b)
{
return b;
|------|
8 spaces
}
Another issue in the formatting of code is how far each line should
be indented from the left margin. When the beginning of a statement
such as 'if' or 'for' is encountered, the indentation level is increased
by the value specified by the '-i' option. For example, use '-i8' to
specify an eight character indentation for each level. When a statement
is broken across two lines, the second line is indented by a number of
additional spaces specified by the '-ci' option. '-ci' defaults to 0.
However, if the '-lp' option is specified, and a line has a left
parenthesis which is not closed on that line, then continuation lines
will be lined up to start at the character position just after the left
parenthesis. This processing also applies to '[' and applies to '{'
when it occurs in initialization lists. For example, a piece of
continued code might look like this with '-nlp -ci3' in effect:
p1 = first_procedure (second_procedure (p2, p3),
third_procedure (p4, p5));
With '-lp' in effect the code looks somewhat clearer:
p1 = first_procedure (second_procedure (p2, p3),
third_procedure (p4, p5));
When a statement is broken in between two or more paren pairs (...),
each extra pair causes the indentation level extra indentation:
if ((((i < 2 &&
k > 0) || p == 0) &&
q == 1) ||
n = 0)
The option '-ipN' can be used to set the extra offset per paren. For
instance, '-ip0' would format the above as:
if ((((i < 2 &&
k > 0) || p == 0) &&
q == 1) ||
n = 0)
'indent' assumes that tabs are placed at regular intervals of both input
and output character streams. These intervals are by default 8 columns
wide, but (as of version 1.2) may be changed by the '-ts' option. Tabs
are treated as the equivalent number of spaces.
By default, 'indent' will use tabs to indent as far as possible, and
then pad with spaces until the desired position is reached. However,
with the '-as' option, spaces will be used for alignment beyond the
current indentation level. By default, assuming '-lp' is enabled, the
code would be indented like so ('t' represents tabs, 's' represents
spaces):
unsigned long really_long_proc_name(unsigned long x, unsigned long y,
int a)
|------||-------||------||-------|__
t t t t ss
{
p1 = first_procedure (second_procedure (p2, p3),
third_procedure (p4, p5));
|------||------||------|_____
t t t sssss
}
This is fine, if you assume that whoever is reading the code will honor
your assumption of 8-space tabs. If the reader was using 4-space tabs,
it would look like this:
unsigned long really_long_proc_name(unsigned long x, unsigned long y,
int a)
|---||---||---||---|__
t t t t ss
{
p1 = first_procedure (second_procedure (p2, p3),
third_procedure (p4, p5));
|---||---||---|______
t t t ssssss
}
The '-as' option fixes this so that the code will appear consistent
regardless of what tab size the user users to read the code. This looks
like:
unsigned long really_long_proc_name(unsigned long x, unsigned long y,
int a)

The indentation of type declarations in old-style function
definitions is controlled by the '-ip' parameter. This is a numeric
parameter specifying how many spaces to indent type declarations. For
example, the default '-ip5' makes definitions look like this:
char *
create_world (x, y, scale)
int x;
int y;
float scale;
{
. . .
}
For compatibility with other versions of indent, the option '-nip' is
provided, which is equivalent to '-ip0'.
ANSI C allows white space to be placed on preprocessor command lines
between the character '#' and the command name. By default, 'indent'
removes this space, but specifying the '-lps' option directs 'indent' to
leave this space unmodified. The option '-ppi' overrides '-nlps' and
'-lps'.
This option can be used to request that preprocessor conditional
statements can be indented by to given number of spaces, for example
with the option '-ppi 3'
#if X
#if Y
#define Z 1
#else
#define Z 0
#endif
#endif
becomes
#if X
# if Y
# define Z 1
# else
# define Z 0
# endif
#endif
This option sets the offset at which a label (except case labels)
will be positioned. If it is set to zero or a positive number, this
indicates how far from the left margin to indent a label. If it is set
to a negative number, this indicates how far back from the current
indent level to place the label. The default setting is -2 which
matches the behaviour of earlier versions of indent. Note that this
parameter does not affect the placing of case labels; see the '-cli'
parameter for that. For example with the option '-il 1'
function()
{
if (do_stuff1() == ERROR)
goto cleanup1;
if (do_stuff2() == ERROR)
goto cleanup2;
return SUCCESS;
cleanup2:
do_cleanup2();
cleanup1:
do_cleanup1();
return ERROR;
}
becomes
function()
{
if (do_stuff1() == ERROR)
goto cleanup1;
if (do_stuff2() == ERROR)
goto cleanup2;
return SUCCESS;
cleanup2:
do_cleanup2();
cleanup1:
do_cleanup1();
return ERROR;
}

1.9 Breaking long lines
=======================
With the option '-lN', or '--line-lengthN', it is possible to specify
the maximum length of a line of C code, not including possible comments
that follow it.
When lines become longer than the specified line length, GNU 'indent'
tries to break the line at a logical place. This is new as of version
2.1 however and not very intelligent or flexible yet.
Currently there are three options that allow one to interfere with
the algorithm that determines where to break a line.
The '-bbo' option causes GNU 'indent' to prefer to break long lines
before the boolean operators '&&' and '||'. The '-nbbo' option causes
GNU 'indent' not have that preference. For example, the default option
'-bbo' (together with '--line-length60' and '--ignore-newlines') makes
code look like this:
if (mask
&& ((mask[0] == '\0')
|| (mask[1] == '\0'
&& ((mask[0] == '0') || (mask[0] == '*')))))
Using the option '-nbbo' will make it look like this:
if (mask &&
((mask[0] == '\0') ||
(mask[1] == '\0' &&
((mask[0] == '0') || (mask[0] == '*')))))
The default '-hnl', however, honours newlines in the input file by
giving them the highest possible priority to break lines at. For
example, when the input file looks like this:
if (mask
&& ((mask[0] == '\0')
|| (mask[1] == '\0' && ((mask[0] == '0') || (mask[0] == '*')))))
then using the option '-hnl', or '--honour-newlines', together with the
previously mentioned '-nbbo' and '--line-length60', will cause the
output not to be what is given in the last example but instead will
prefer to break at the positions where the code was broken in the input
file:
if (mask
&& ((mask[0] == '\0')
|| (mask[1] == '\0' &&
((mask[0] == '0') || (mask[0] == '*')))))
The idea behind this option is that lines which are too long, but are
already broken up, will not be touched by GNU 'indent'. Really messy
code should be run through 'indent' at least once using the
'--ignore-newlines' option though.
The '-gts' option affects how the gettext standard macros '_()' and
'N_()' are treated. The default behavior (or the use of '-ngts') causes
indent to treat them as it does other functions, so that a long string
is broken like the following example.
if (mask)
{
warning (_
("This is a long string that stays together."));
}
With the '-gts' option, the underscore is treated as a part of the
string, keeping it tied to the string, and respecting the fact that
gettext is unobtrusively providing a localized string. This only works
if '_("' is together as a unit at the beginning of the string and '")'
is together as a unit at the end.
if (mask)
{
warning
(_("This is a long string that stays together."));
}

1.10 Disabling Formatting
=========================
Formatting of C code may be disabled for portions of a program by
embedding special "control comments" in the program. To turn off
formatting for a section of a program, place the disabling control
comment '/* *INDENT-OFF* */' on a line by itself just before that
section. Program text scanned after this control comment is output
precisely as input with no modifications until the corresponding
enabling comment is scanned on a line by itself. The enabling control
comment is '/* *INDENT-ON* */', and any text following the comment on
the line is also output unformatted. Formatting begins again with the
input line following the enabling control comment.
More precisely, 'indent' does not attempt to verify the closing
delimiter ('*/') for these C comments, and any whitespace on the line is
totally transparent.
These control comments also function in their C++ formats, namely '//
*INDENT-OFF*' and '// *INDENT-ON*'.
It should be noted that the internal state of 'indent' remains
unchanged over the course of the unformatted section. Thus, for
example, turning off formatting in the middle of a function and
continuing it after the end of the function may lead to bizarre results.
It is therefore wise to be somewhat modular in selecting code to be left
unformatted.
As a historical note, some earlier versions of 'indent' produced
error messages beginning with '*INDENT**'. These versions of 'indent'
were written to ignore any input text lines which began with such error
messages. I have removed this incestuous feature from GNU 'indent'.

1.11 Miscellaneous options
==========================
To find out what version of 'indent' you have, use the command 'indent
-version'. This will report the version number of 'indent', without
doing any of the normal processing.
The '-v' option can be used to turn on verbose mode. When in verbose
mode, 'indent' reports when it splits one line of input into two more
more lines of output, and gives some size statistics at completion.
The '-pmt' option causes 'indent' to preserve the access and
modification times on the output files. Using this option has the
advantage that running indent on all source and header files in a
project won't cause 'make' to rebuild all targets. This option is only
available on Operating Systems that have the POSIX 'utime(2)' function.

1.12 Bugs
=========
Please report any bugs to <bug-indent AT gnu.org>.
When 'indent' is run twice on a file, with the same profile, it
should _never_ change that file the second time. With the current
design of 'indent', this can not be guaranteed, and it has not been
extensively tested.
'indent' does not understand C. In some cases this leads to the
inability to join lines. The result is that running a file through
'indent' is _irreversible_, even if the used input file was the result
of running 'indent' with a given profile ('.indent.pro').
While an attempt was made to get 'indent' working for C++, it will
not do a good job on any C++ source except the very simplest.
'indent' does not look at the given '--line-length' option when
writing comments to the output file. This results often in comments
being put far to the right. In order to prohibit 'indent' from joining
a broken line that has a comment at the end, make sure that the comments
start on the first line of the break.
'indent' does not count lines and comments (see the '-v' option) when
'indent' is turned off with '/* *INDENT-OFF* */'.
Comments of the form '/*UPPERCASE*/' are not treated as comment but
as an identifier, causing them to be joined with the next line. This
renders comments of this type useless, unless they are embedded in the
code to begin with.
