What makes you think this isn't possible to run pgindent? There are no secret incantations.

The first hit newbies find looking for info about pgident is http://blog.hagander.net/archives/185-pgindent-vs-dash.html which sure looks like secret incantations to me. The documentation src/tools/pgindent/README reads like a magic spell too:

   find . -name '*.[ch]' -type f -print | \
   egrep -v -f src/tools/pgindent/exclude_file_patterns | \
   xargs -n100 pgindent src/tools/pgindent/typedefs.list


That's the incantation for indenting the whole of the source code. But very few people want to do that. Most people just want to indent a single file, for which the incantation is "pgindent path_to_typedefs my_file.c". See in another message my suggestion for defaulting the typedefs arg, so you'd just be able to say "pg_indent my_file.c".


cheers
