When writing new files, you may use the brace placement style of your choice.
+Braces for function declarations are put in a new line under the name, as in:
+
+ int foo(char *name)
+ {
+ return FOO_NAME:
+ }
+
Always indent your code with four spaces. Don't use TAB characters, as that
will mess up code display in CVS, printing, and a zillion other places.
