Cstyle is the C source style checker used by Illumos.  Since the
original ZFS source was written using these style guidelines they
must also be followed by ZoL for consistency.

The checker has been added to the scripts directory and may be
run on a per file basis.  New patches should be careful to avoid
introducing new style warnings.

Additionally, the 'checkstyle' target has been added to the top
level Makefile and can be used to check the entire source tree.
While Zol has historically attempted to follow the SunOS style
guide the lack of a rigorous style checker has allowed various
warning to be introduced.  Currently there are 2211 reported
style violations and we want to gradually eliminate these from
the tree.

Note the cstyle.1 man page is provided under man/man1/cstyle.1
but since it is a developer utility it is not installed along
with the other man pages.

+.TH cstyle 1 "28 March 2005"
+.SH NAME
+.I cstyle
+\- check for some common stylistic errors in C source files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBcstyle [-chpvCP] [-o constructs] [file...]\fP
+.LP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX "OS-Net build tools" "cstyle" "" "\fBcstyle\fP"
+.LP
+.I cstyle
+inspects C source files (*.c and *.h) for common sylistic errors.  It
+attempts to check for the cstyle documented in
+\fIhttp://www.cis.upenn.edu/~lee/06cse480/data/cstyle.ms.pdf\fP.
+Note that there is much in that document that
+.I cannot
+be checked for; just because your code is \fBcstyle(1)\fP clean does not
+mean that you've followed Sun's C style.  \fICaveat emptor\fP.
+.LP
+.SH OPTIONS
+.LP
+The following options are supported:
+.TP 4
+.B \-c
+Check continuation line indentation inside of functions.  Sun's C style
+states that all statements must be indented to an appropriate tab stop,
+and any continuation lines after them must be indented \fIexactly\fP four
+spaces from the start line.  This option enables a series of checks
+designed to find contination line problems within functions only.  The
+checks have some limitations;  see CONTINUATION CHECKING, below.
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B \-h
+Performs heuristic checks that are sometimes wrong.  Not generally used.
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B \-p
+Performs some of the more picky checks.  Includes ANSI #else and #endif
+rules, and tries to detect spaces after casts.  Used as part of the
+putback checks.
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B \-v
+Verbose output;  includes the text of the line of error, and, for
+\fB-c\fP, the first statement in the current continuation block.
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B \-C
+Ignore errors in header comments (i.e. block comments starting in the
+first column).  Not generally used.
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B \-P
+Check for use of non-POSIX types.  Historically, types like "u_int" and
+"u_long" were used, but they are now deprecated in favor of the POSIX
+types uint_t, ulong_t, etc.  This detects any use of the deprecated
+types.  Used as part of the putback checks.
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B \-o \fIconstructs\fP
+Allow a comma-seperated list of additional constructs.  Available
+constructs include:
+.LP
+.TP 10
+.B doxygen
+Allow doxygen-style block comments (\fB/**\fP and \fB/*!\fP)
+.LP
+.TP 10
+.B splint
+Allow splint-style lint comments (\fB/*@...@*/\fP)
+.LP
+.SH NOTES
+.LP
+The cstyle rule for the OS/Net consolidation is that all new files must
+be \fB-pP\fP clean.  For existing files, the following invocations are
+run against both the old and new files:
+.LP
+.TP 4
+\fBcstyle file\fB
+.LP
+.TP 4
+\fBcstyle -p file\fB
+.LP
+.TP 4
+\fBcstyle -pP file\fB
+.LP
+If the old file gave no errors for one of the invocations, the new file
+must also give no errors.  This way, files can only become more clean.
+.LP
+.SH CONTINUATION CHECKING
+.LP
+The continuation checker is a resonably simple state machine that knows
+something about how C is layed out, and can match parenthesis, etc. over
+multiple lines.  It does have some limitations:
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B 1.
+Preprocessor macros which cause unmatched parenthesis will confuse the
+checker for that line.  To fix this, you'll need to make sure that each
+branch of the #if statement has balanced parenthesis.
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B 2.
+Some \fBcpp\fP macros do not require ;s after them.  Any such macros
+*must* be ALL_CAPS; any lower case letters will cause bad output.
+.LP
+The bad output will generally be corrected after the next \fB;\fP,
+\fB{\fP, or \fB}\fP.
+.LP
+Some continuation error messages deserve some additional explanation
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B
+multiple statements continued over multiple lines
+A multi-line statement which is not broken at statement
+boundries.  For example:
+.RS 4
+.HP 4
+if (this_is_a_long_variable == another_variable) a =
+.br
+b + c;
+.LP
+Will trigger this error.  Instead, do:
+.HP 8
+if (this_is_a_long_variable == another_variable)
+.br
+a = b + c;
+.RE
+.LP
+.TP 4
+.B
+empty if/for/while body not on its own line
+For visibility, empty bodies for if, for, and while statements should be
+on their own line.  For example:
+.RS 4
+.HP 4
+while (do_something(&x) == 0);
+.LP
+Will trigger this error.  Instead, do:
+.HP 8
+while (do_something(&x) == 0)
+.br
+;
+.RE
