The command
M-x apropos indent
lists
indent-region
among other indent commands. C-h f indent-region explains that
indent-region is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `indent'.
(indent-region START END COLUMN)
Indent each nonblank line in the region.
With no argument, indent each line using `indent-according-to-mode',
or use `indent-region-function' to do the whole region if that's non-nil.
If there is a fill prefix, make each line start with the fill prefix.
With argument COLUMN, indent each line to that column.
Called from a program, takes three args: START, END and COLUMN.
The command
C-h where indent-region
reveals that indent-region is bound to the keystrokes
M-C-\
on my system.
