  • Format C/C++ source according to the Linux style guide, automatically back up the original files, and replace with the indented versions:
    indent --linux-style path/to/source.c path/to/another_source.c
  • Format C/C++ source according to the GNU style, saving the indented version to a different file:
    indent --gnu-style path/to/source.c -o path/to/indented_source.c
  • Format C/C++ source according to the style of Kernighan & Ritchie (K&R), no tabs, 3 spaces per indent, and wrap lines at 120 characters:
