There used to be a program style(1). It was for a very different
purpose. I'm attaching the page from 2.11BSD.
Considering this is a programming thing, I'd think that style(3) would
make more sense.

NAME
style - analyze surface characteristics of a document
SYNOPSIS
style [ -ml ] [ -mm ] [ -a ] [ -e ] [ -l num ] [ -r num ]
[ -p ] [ -P ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Style analyzes the surface characteristics of the writing
style of a document. It reports on readability, sentence
length and structure, word length and usage, verb type,
and sentence openers. Because style runs deroff before
looking at the text, formatting header files should be
included as part of the input. The default macro package
-ms may be overridden with the flag -mm. The flag -ml,
which causes deroff to skip lists, should be used if the
document contains many lists of non-sentences. The other
options are used to locate sentences with certain charac-
teristics.
-a print all sentences with their length and readabil-
ity index.
-e print all sentences that begin with an expletive.
-p print all sentences that contain a passive verb.
-lnum print all sentences longer than num.
-rnum print all sentences whose readability index is
greater than num.
-P print parts of speech of the words in the document.
SEE ALSO
deroff(1), diction(1)
BUGS
Use of non-standard formatting macros may cause incorrect
sentence breaks.
