Is there any tool can format source code according to kernel coding rule?

[Nan Xiao]

Hi all,

I am just wondering whether there is a script/tool which format source code
according to kernel coding rule automatically? Such as tab, space, brace,
etc.

Thanks very much in advance!

Best Regards
Nan Xiao

If your using vi(m) in command mode type gg=G this will indent your code .
if your want kernel coding rules compatibility run your code through
scripts/Lindent. There is a vim plugi-in
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4369 will do the same.

Hi , 

There is a script in kernel source tree which used to check the code is in the proper coding style. 
But I don't about automatically changing code to specific coding style. 

The script name called checkpatch.pl present in kernel tree scripts/ directory. 

If you want to use this script. 

Make it as executable, by giving 

chmod +x checkpatch.pl 

./checkpatch.pl --no-tree -f <file_name> 


This will tell you what are all the coding style you have missed. So you can format your code 
to coding style easily. 

Thanks, 
Ramesh

Try scripts/Lindent from the kernel source tree.
