Summary
Even without explicitly setting command line options
indent makes a reasonable job of pretty printing C sources.
The examples above show that
with one option it is possible to see the effect of changes
to indent's command line.
However indent has 60 options for you to chose.
It is impossible to try all combinations.
Nevertheless
Evo_indent
allows you to rapidly and safely navigate the huge space of possible
program layouts
guided only by what appears on your screen and by your preferences.
Evo_indent removes the need to learn about
any of indent's options in detail.
