Introduction

mk-project provide severals utilities with many predefined targets for formatting your source code.

For C or C++ source code:

  • astyle
  • bcpp

Using the indent utility

mk-project provide following predefined indent styles:

make indent-kr    # Format all source files in the kr style.
