There is a modified "cstyle" from me that changed the default to 132 in Summer 2004 by introducing a "Cstyle" wrapper. There are also some other options: -l -b -K -B sage: cstyle [-c] [-h] [-p] [-v] [-C] [-P] [-l #] [-b] [-K] [-B] file ... -c check continuation indentation inside functions -h perform heuristic checks that are sometimes wrong -p perform some of the more picky checks -v verbose -C don't check anything in header block comments -P check for use of non-POSIX types -l # set maxline length (default is 80) -b do not check for blank after cpp # -K do not check for blank at /* */ comment bounds -B allow /*------- box comments Cstyle contains: #!/bin/sh cstyle -l132 -b -K -B "$@" J?rg -- EMail:joerg at schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) J?rg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js at cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) schilling at fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily
