style(9) is not KNF, and never was intended to be. It's a FreeBSD style guide that bears similarity to KNF because that's what it used as a starting point. As it has evolved it has *departed* from KNF to become more realistic and useable in today's programming environment and practices. Adding the freedom to add extra brackets and braces for readability has been discussed a number of times and concensis each time (including at least once in core, if my memory is correct) has been to add that freedom - but it has just never actually been committed. > Bruce Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
