What were you trying to do?
use command line switches with indent to format c code
use .indent.pro switches to do same w/o command line stuff
What's wrong:
~/.indent.pro seems to be ignored entirely
using more than 2 commandlines switches (explicitly now,
on the commandline, w/ the .indent.pro file gone)
causes indent to bomb
What should have happened:
I should have been able to say indent -i2 -nbc -v vanilla.c
and then it would have indented as I wanted. What did happen:
w/ .indent.pro and no commandline stuff, indent ignored .indent.pro
and did its usual ugly defaults.
w/ the command line stuff, it would crash if I used 3 or more
switches. yuck. yuck. yuck.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
simply used the man page on this machine
