applied to the distribution. This produces context diffs, which is our

preferred format.

Our standard formatis to indent eachcodelevelwith one tab, where

each tab is four spaces. You will need to set your editor to display

tabs as four spaces:

Our standard formatBSD style, with each levelof code indented one

tab, whereeach tab is four spaces. You will need to set your editor

or file viewer to displaytabs as four spaces:

vi in ~/.exrc:

set tabstop=4

set sw=4

more:

more -x4

less:

less -x4

emacs:

M-x set-variable tab-width

or

(c-add-style "pgsql"

'("bsd"

(indent-tabs-mode . t)

(c-basic-offset . 4)

(tab-width . 4)

(c-offsets-alist .

((case-label . +)))

)

nil ) ; t = set this style, nil = don't

(defun pgsql-c-mode ()

(c-mode)

(c-set-style "pgsql")

)

and add this to your autoload list (modify file path in macro):

(setq auto-mode-alist

(cons '("\\`/home/andrew/pgsql/.*\\.[chyl]\\'" . pgsql-c-mode)

auto-mode-alist))

or

/*

* Local variables:

* tab-width: 4

* c-indent-level: 4

* c-basic-offset: 4

* End:

*/

The tools directory of the latest sources contains sample settings

that can be used with the emacs, xemacs and vim editors, that assist

in keeping to PostgreSQL coding standards.

pgindent will the format code by specifying flags to your operating

system's utility indent. This article describes the value of a

consistent coding style.
