 Declarations
 ============
 
    By default `indent' will line up identifiers, in the column
 specified by the `-di' option.  For example, `-di16' makes things look
 like:
 
      int             foo;
      char           *bar;
 
    Using a small value (such as one or two) for the `-di' option can be
 used to cause the identifiers to be placed in the first available
 position; for example:
 
      int foo;
      char *bar;
 
    The value given to the `-di' option will still affect variables
 which are put on separate lines from their types, for example `-di2'
 will lead to:
 
      int
        foo;
 
    If the `-bc' option is specified, a newline is forced after each
 comma in a declaration.  For example,
 
      int a,
        b,
        c;
 
 With the `-nbc' option this would look like
 
      int a, b, c;
 
    The `-bfda' option causes a newline to be forced after the comma
 separating the arguments of a function declaration.  The arguments will
 appear at one indention level deeper than the function declaration.
 This is particularly helpful for functions with long argument lists.
 The option `-bfde' causes a newline to be forced before the closing
 bracket of the function declaration. For both options the 'n' setting
 is the default: -nbdfa and -nbdfe.
 
    For example,
 
      void foo (int arg1, char arg2, int *arg3, long arg4, char arg5);
 
 With the `-bfda' option this would look like
 
      void foo (
          int arg1,
          char arg2,
          int *arg3,
          long arg4,
          char arg5);
 
    With, in addition, the `-bfde' option this would look like
 
      void foo (
          int arg1,
          char arg2,
          int *arg3,
          long arg4,
          char arg5
          );
 
    The `-psl' option causes the type of a procedure being defined to be
 placed on the line before the name of the procedure.  This style is
 required for the `etags' program to work correctly, as well as some of
 the `c-mode' functions of Emacs.
 
    You must use the `-T' option to tell `indent' the name of all the
 typenames in your program that are defined by `typedef'.  `-T' can be
 specified more than once, and all names specified are used.  For
 example, if your program contains
 
      typedef unsigned long CODE_ADDR;
      typedef enum {red, blue, green} COLOR;
 
 you would use the options `-T CODE_ADDR -T COLOR'.
 
    The `-brs' or `-bls' option specifies how to format braces in struct
 declarations.  The `-brs' option formats braces like this:
 
      struct foo {
        int x;
      };
 
 The `-bls' option formats them like this:
 
      struct foo
      {
        int x;
      };
