+
+* all files have been formatted with indent-region based on

+;; This section sets constants used by c-mode for formating
+;;
+;;
+
+
+;; If `c-auto-newline' is non-`nil', newlines are inserted both
+;;before and after braces that you insert, and after colons and semicolons.
+;;Correct C indentation is done on all the lines that are made this way.
+
+(setq c-auto-newline nil)
+
+
+;; If `c-tab-always-indent' is non-`nil', the TAB command
+;;in C mode does indentation only if point is at the left margin or within
+;;the line's indentation. If there is non-whitespace to the left of point,
+;;then TAB just inserts a tab character in the buffer. Normally,
+;;this variable is `nil', and TAB always reindents the current line.
+
+(setq c-tab-always-indent nil)
+
+;; C does not have anything analogous to particular function names for which
+;;special forms of indentation are desirable. However, it has a different
+;;need for customization facilities: many different styles of C indentation
+;;are in common use.
+;;
+;; There are six variables you can set to control the style that Emacs C
+;;mode will use.
+;;
+;;`c-indent-level'
+;; Indentation of C statements within surrounding block. The surrounding
+;; block's indentation is the indentation of the line on which the
+;; open-brace appears.
+
+(setq c-indent-level 8)
+
+;;`c-continued-statement-offset'
+;; Extra indentation given to a substatement, such as the then-clause of
+;; an if or body of a while.
+
+(setq c-continued-statement-offset 4)
+
+;;`c-brace-offset'
+;; Extra indentation for line if it starts with an open brace.
+
+(setq c-brace-offset 0)
+
+;;`c-brace-imaginary-offset'
+;; An open brace following other text is treated as if it were this far
+;; to the right of the start of its line.
+
+(setq c-brace-imaginary-offset 0)
+
+;;`c-argdecl-indent'
+;; Indentation level of declarations of C function arguments.
+
+(setq c-argdecl-indent 0)
+
+;;`c-label-offset'
+;; Extra indentation for line that is a label, or case or default.
+
+(setq c-label-offset -8)
