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 "$@"
