$c-statement(5)

NAME

$c-statement - C-mode; statement indentation

SYNOPSIS

$c-statement integer; Default is 4

-n <= integer <= n

DESCRIPTION

$c-statement is part of the cmode(2m) environment for C programmers.

The indent of the current line is derived from $c-statement plus the indent of the last c token (if, else, while etc.) or the last '{' (which ever was found first). i.e. if the last '{' was found at column 16 then the current line will be indented to 20:-

        { 
            xxxxxxxxxx 
            xxxxxxxxxx 

or

        if(xxxxx) 
            xxxxxxxxxx 

C tokens are only used to indent the next line, whereas '{' are used in indenting every line to it's partnering '}'.
