Do any of you use indent or similar for cleaning up OpenLDAP code and have a ~/.my_rules to share?

I don't know how to make indent output OpenLDAP's spacing around parens. And I'm not sure what the rules are anyway. Space inside but not outside parens in function calls, (usually) no space between multiple parens, space after if/while/for, don't know what else.

Since I also don't know how to make indent leave those spaces alone, I'm not sure if this will be of any use to you, but I think this should come close for the rest:

-ts4 (--tab-size4) And if I find whoever thought a nonstandard tab-size was a good way to reduce source file size or whatever the idea was, I'll chain him to a terminal with tab-size 11 till he learns the error of his ways. -i4 (--indent-level4) -ci4 (--continuation-indentation4) -cli0 (--case-indentation0) -nlp (--dont-line-up-parentheses) -lps (--leave-preprocessor-space) or sometimes -ppi1 -bad (--blank-lines-after-declarations) -bap (--blank-lines-after-procedures) -bbb (--blank-lines-before-block-comments) -sc (--start-left-side-of-comments) -br (--braces-on-if-line) -ce (--cuddle-else) -cdw (--cuddle-do-while) -cbi0 (--case-brace-indentation0) -npcs (--no-space-after-function-call-names) -nbc (--no-blank-lines-after-commas) -psl (--procnames-start-lines) -brs (--braces-on-struct-decl-line)

# this is done sometimes, sometimes not: -bfda (--break-function-decl-args) -nss (--dont-space-special-semicolon) -cs (--space-after-cast) or -ncs (--no-space-after-cast)? -nbbo (--break-after-boolean-operator)

# leave some things alone when indenting a reasonably formatted file... -hnl (--honour-newlines) -nsob (--leave-optional-blank-lines)
