Hi, The knfmt[1] utility formats source code files to conform to the Kernel Normal Form (KNF) in a best effort fashion. It's not a silver bullet but is able to get the rudimentary formatting right.
By default, source code is read from standard input and the formatted
source code is written to standard output:
$ knfmt <knfmt.c
It can perform an in place edit by writing back the formatted source
code:
$ knfmt -i knfmt.c
It can produce a diff between the original and formatted source code:
$ knfmt -d knfmt.c
In addition, it can given a diff only format the changed lines, handy
while working on existing code. This option is compatible with the
options mentioned above:
$ cvs -q diff | knfmt -Dd
$ git diff | knfmt -Dd
I'm not encouraging anyone to start reformatting code in our tree and
sending out diffs. Using the -D option during development is hopefully
more useful.
OK to import? (I'm the author)
