# cstyle - check for some common stylistic errors. 
# 
#       cstyle is a sort of "lint" for C coding style. 
#       It attempts to check for the style used in the

This is a program written by Bill Shannon (the inventor
of the vnode interface that also was the base for the NFS

perl script (which is more than 13 years old) should
become part of an official Solaris distribution.
I did not yet succeed.....

Note that I again spend the whole weekend with working on
