It needs several things to run, and tries to locate +or build them if possible. They can also be specified via command line switches +or the environment. + +In its simplest form, if all the required objects are installed, simply run +it without any parameters at the top of the source tree you want to process. + + pgindent + +If you don't have all the requirements installed, pgindent will fetch and build +them for you, if you're in a PostgreSQL source tree: + + pgindent --build + +If your pg_bsd_indent program is not installed in your path, you can specify +it by setting the environment variable INDENT, or PGINDENT, or by giving the +command line option --indent: + + pgindent --indent=/opt/extras/bsdindent + +pgindent also needs a file containing a list of typedefs. This can be +specified using the PGTYPEDEFS environment variable, or via the command line +--typedefs option. If neither is used, it will look for it within the +current source tree, or in /usr/local/etc/typedefs.list. + +If you want to indent a source tree other than the current working directory, +you can specify it via the --code-base command line option. + +We don't want to indent certain files in the PostgreSQL source. pgindent +will honor a file containing a list of patterns of files to avoid. This +file can be specified using the --excludes command line option. If indenting +a PostgreSQL source tree, this option isn't necessary, as it will find the file +src/tools/pgindent/exclude_file_patterns. + +Any non-option arguments are taken as the names of files to be indented. In this +case only these files will be changed, and nothing else will be touched. If the +first non-option argument is not a .c or .h file, it is treated as the name +of a typedefs file for legacy reasons, but this use is deprecated - use the +--typedefs option instead. |
