Using indent to organize code under Linux

Indent is the next most powerful code-finishing software in Linux, which makes it easy to write code with very good style. To view the/usr/src/linux-headers-< version >/scripts/lindent file, you can see a line of code:

Indent-npro-kr-i8-ts8-sob-l80-ss-ncs-cp1

This line is the format of the Linux kernel using indent to organize the code, using this command to achieve a very good style of C or C + + code. Where-l80 is a maximum of 80 letters per line, beyond the line will be split, if you do not like can use longer line words.

The value of the indent parameter used means:
--blank-lines-after-declarations bad variable declaration after blank line
--blank-lines-after-procedures bap function ends with empty lines
--blank-lines-before-block-comments BBB block comment before blank line
--break-before-boolean-operator Bbo long lines, in front of logical operators branch
--blank-lines-after-commas NBC variable declaration, comma-delimited variables do not branch
--braces-after-if-line bl "If" and "{" Divide two lines
--brace-indent 0 bli0 "{" does not continue indenting
--braces-after-struct-decl-line BLS definition structure, "struct" and "{" Branch
--comment-indentationn C33 statement after comment starts at line 33
--DECLARATION-COMMENT-COLUMNN cd33 Variable declaration after comment starts at line 33
--comment-delimiters-on-blank-lines NCDB does not change a single-line comment to a block comment
--cuddle-do-while NCDW "Does---while" and "}" on the previous line
--cuddle-else nce "Else" and its preceding "}" to another line
--case-indentation 0 0 Spaces in case statement in Cli0 switch
--else-endif-columnn cp33 #else, #endif后面的注释开始于行33
--space-after-cast CS Add a space after type conversion
--line-comments-indentation n D0 Single-line comment (does not start with 1 columns), does not indent to the left
--break-function-decl-args NBFDA Close: A row of parameters for a function
--declaration-indentationn Di2 Variable declaration, the variable starts at 2 rows, i.e. does not have to be aligned
--format-first-column-comments NFC1 do not format comments from the first line
--format-all-comments NFCA do not turn on all formatted comments switch
--honour-newlines HNL Prefer to broke long lines at the position of newlines in the input.
--indent-leveln I4 sets how many characters to indent, and if it is an integer multiple of tab, it is indented with a tab, otherwise filled with spaces.
--parameter-indentationn IP5 an old style function definition in parameter description indent 5 spaces
--line-length l75 Non-commented line maximum 75
--continue-at-parentheses LP continuation line starts with the parentheses that appear on the previous line
--space-after-procedure-calls the PCS function and "(" insert a space between
--space-after-parentheses Nprs do not insert spaces before "(") "
--procnames-start-lines PSL places the function name and return type in two lines of definition
--space-after-for SAF for followed by a space
--space-after-if sai If there are spaces behind
--space-after-while saw while there are spaces behind
--start-left-side-of-comments NSC does not add * in generated block comments
--swallow-optional-blank-lines nsob do not remove empty lines that can be added
--space-special-semicolon NSS line for or while statement, in the ";" Before it is empty.
--tab-size ts4 a tab is 4 spaces (to be divisible by "-in")
--use-tabs ut using tab to indent
