LCD4Linux Coding Style
We decided to use a common coding style to make patches and diffs
easier to read and apply.
The style we use is based on Kernighan & Ritchie and the coding style
of the linux kernel (see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/CodingStyle),
with some differences:
- we use a indentation level of 4 spaces (Linus prefers 8)
- we allow lines up to 150 chars (Linus uses 80)
The resulting indent command is:
indent -kr -l150
There's a script called 'indent.sh' that comes with the LCD4Linux
source package; all it does is call indent with all .c and .h files.
It is always a good idea to call 'indent.sh' before any SVN operation,
this ensures that diffs and updates won't get mixed up because of
cosmetic changes.
