clang-format is a tool to format source code according to a set of rules and heuristics. Like most tools, it is not perfect nor covers every single case, but it is good enough to be helpful.

clang-format can be used for several purposes:

• Quickly reformat a block of code to the NetBSD (KNF) style.
• Spot style mistakes, typos and possible improvements in files.
• Help to follow the coding style rules.

Milestones:

• Create configuration file .clang-format that approximate the NetBSD coding style
• Patch LibFormat to handle missing coding style rules.
• Integrate .clang-format with the NetBSD distribution.
