: What's a style(9) program? I've been doing a little work on the at : utility, and I've seen three or more different indentation styles : employed (sometimes within the same function). Simple bsd utility. : Maybe a good working comporomise between standardization and personal : preference could be achieved with indent(1). If it (or something : similar) con be setup to reformat code to the style(9) specs, we could : use our preferences when writing the code, and then translate it to the : standard format for submission. I've tried that on a project I worked on where all code passed through indent on its way into the repository... That path lies madness. We hadd *PROBLEMS* doing that and even the most stubborn of the engineer "cats" agreed it was better to do things in one style than to rely on a flawed program to do it automatically.
