GNU Coding Standards permit the use of a line containing just ^L as a page separator between logical chunks of code within a single file (this is also acceptable to C89; since ^L, aka '\f' or form-feed, falls under the category of allowable whitespace). It was originally used in the days of old-style printers to force a new page; but still has use today in making searching between related chunks of code a bit easier. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
