[comp.unix.questions] C pretty printers/beautifiers

baileyc@boulder.Colorado.EDU (BAILEY CHRISTOPHER R) (05/02/90)

I am looking for a C beautifier/pretty printer.  I would like a public
domain one, that can be attained via anonymous ftp if possible.  I
would like one for both BSD style unix (DYNIX and ULTRIX), and for my
IBM XT clone.  Thanks!

  The following C pretty printers are available for anonymous ftp from
uunet.uu.net in the /ftp/comp.sources.unix directory and subdirectories:

	volume 17: pps
	volume 18: indent

Pps does several other languages besides C, is easily expandable to new
languages, and outputs PostScript.  Indent does only C, and simply
reindents the file and outputs a newly formatted text file.

  There is also a version of indent in the directory
/ftp/bsd-sources/src/ucb/indent.  It is possible that this version is
more up-to-date than the version in the comp.sources.unix archives.
