.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This file specifies the preferred style for kernel source files in the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
source tree.
|
|
It is also a guide for the preferred userland code style.
|
|
Many of the style rules are implicit in the examples.
|
|
Be careful to check the examples before assuming that
|
|
.Xr style 9
|
|
is silent on an issue.

.Pp
|
|
After any copyright header, there is a blank line, and the
|
|
.Va rcsid
|
|
for source files.
|
|
Version control system ID tags should only exist once in a file
|
|
(unlike this one).
|
|
Non-C/C++ source files follow the example above, while C/C++ source files
|
|
follow the one below.
|
|
All VCS (version control system) revision identification from files obtained
|
|
from elsewhere should be maintained, including, where applicable, multiple IDs
|
|
showing a file's history.
|
|
In general, keep the IDs intact, including any
|
|
.So Li $ Sc Ns s .
|
|
There is no reason to add
|
|
.Qq Li "From"
|
|
in front of foreign VCS IDs.
|
|
Most
|
|
.No non- Ns Fx
|
|
VCS IDs should be indented by a tab if in a comment.

|
Do not
|
|
.Ic #define
|
|
or declare names in the implementation namespace except
|
|
for implementing application interfaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The names of
|
|
.Dq unsafe
|
|
macros (ones that have side effects), and the names of macros for
|
|
manifest constants, are all in uppercase.
|
|
The expansions of expression-like macros are either a single token
|
|
or have outer parentheses.
|
|
Put a single tab character between the
|
|
.Ic #define
|
|
and the macro name.
|
|
If a macro is an inline expansion of a function, the function name is
|
|
all in lowercase and the macro has the same name all in uppercase.
|
|
.\" XXX the above conflicts with ANSI style where the names are the
|
|
.\" same and you #undef the macro (if any) to get the function.
|
|
.\" It is not followed for MALLOC(), and not very common if inline
|
|
.\" functions are used.
|
|
If a
|
|
macro needs more than a single line, use braces
|
|
.Ql ( \&{
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql \&} ) .
|
|
Right-justify the
|
|
backslashes; it makes it easier to read.
|
|
If the macro encapsulates a compound statement, enclose it in a
|
|
.Ic do
|
|
loop,
|
|
so that it can safely be used in
|
|
.Ic if
|
|
statements.
|
|
Any final statement-terminating semicolon should be
|
|
supplied by the macro invocation rather than the macro, to make parsing easier
|
|
for pretty-printers and editors.

.Ed

.Pp
|
|
When declaring variables in structures, declare them sorted by use, then
|
|
by size, and then in alphabetical order.
|
|
The first category normally does not apply, but there are exceptions.
|
|
Each one gets its own line.
|
|
Try to make the structure
|
|
readable by aligning the member names using either one or two tabs
|
|
depending upon your judgment.
|
|
You should use one tab if it suffices to align most of the member names.
|
|
Names following extremely long types
|
|
should be separated by a single space.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Major structures should be declared at the top of the file in which they
|
|
are used, or in separate header files if they are used in multiple
|
|
source files.
|
|
Use of the structures should be by separate declarations
|
|
and should be
|
|
.Ic extern
|
|
if they are declared in a header file.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct foo {
|
|
struct foo *next; /* List of active foo. */
|
|
struct mumble amumble; /* Comment for mumble. */
|
|
int bar; /* Try to align the comments. */
|
|
struct verylongtypename *baz; /* Won't fit in 2 tabs. */
|
|
};
|
|
struct foo *foohead; /* Head of global foo list. */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Use
|
|
.Xr queue 3
|
|
macros rather than rolling your own lists, whenever possible.
|
|
Thus,
|
|
the previous example would be better written:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
#include <sys/queue.h>
|
|
|
|
struct foo {
|
|
LIST_ENTRY(foo) link; /* Use queue macros for foo lists. */
|
|
struct mumble amumble; /* Comment for mumble. */
|
|
int bar; /* Try to align the comments. */
|
|
struct verylongtypename *baz; /* Won't fit in 2 tabs. */
|
|
};
|
|
LIST_HEAD(, foo) foohead; /* Head of global foo list. */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Avoid using typedefs for structure types.
|
|
This makes it impossible
|
|
for applications to use pointers to such a structure opaquely, which
|
|
is both possible and beneficial when using an ordinary struct tag.
|
|
When convention requires a
|
|
.Ic typedef ,
|
|
make its name match the struct tag.
|
|
Avoid typedefs ending in
|
|
.Dq Li _t ,
|
|
except as specified in Standard C or by \*[Px].
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
/* Make the structure name match the typedef. */
|
|
typedef struct bar {
|
|
int level;
|
|
} BAR;
|

typedef int foo; /* This is foo. */
|
|
typedef const long baz; /* This is baz. */

|
All functions are prototyped somewhere.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function prototypes for private functions (i.e. functions not used
|
|
elsewhere) go at the top of the first source module.
|
|
Functions
|
|
local to one source module should be declared
|
|
.Ic static .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Functions used from other parts of the kernel are prototyped in the
|
|
relevant include file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Functions that are used locally in more than one module go into a
|
|
separate header file, e.g.\&
|
|
.Qq Pa extern.h .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only use the
|
|
.Dv __P
|
|
macro from the include file
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/cdefs.h
|
|
if the source
|
|
file in general is (to be) compilable with a K&R Old Testament compiler.
|
|
Use of the
|
|
.Dv __P
|
|
macro in new code is discouraged, although modifications
|
|
to existing files should be consistent with that file's conventions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In general code can be considered
|
|
.Dq "new code"
|
|
when it makes up about 50% or more of the file(s) involved.
|
|
This is enough
|
|
to break precedents in the existing code and use the current
|
|
.Nm
|
|
guidelines.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel has a name associated with parameter types, e.g., in the kernel
|
|
use:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
void function(int fd);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In header files visible to userland applications, prototypes that are
|
|
visible must use either
|
|
.Dq protected
|
|
names (ones beginning with an underscore)
|
|
or no names with the types.
|
|
It is preferable to use protected names.
|
|
E.g., use:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
void function(int);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp

struct bar *_arg4);

Old-style function declarations look like this:

static char *

function(a1, a2, fl, a4)

int a1, a2; /* Declare ints, too, don't default them. */

int a4; /* List in order declared. */

|

Use ANSI function declarations unless you explicitly need K&R compatibility.
|

Long parameter lists are wrapped with a normal four space indent.

Variable numbers of arguments should look like this.
|

.Bd -literal

#include <stdarg.h>

|

vaf(const char *fmt, ...)

.Xr putchar 3 ,

Usage statements should look like the manual pages
|
|
.Sx SYNOPSIS .
|
|
The usage statement should be structured in the following order:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Options without operands come first,
|
|
in alphabetical order,
|
|
inside a single set of brackets
|
|
.Ql ( \&[
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql \&] ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
Options with operands come next,
|
|
also in alphabetical order,
|
|
with each option and its argument inside its own pair of brackets.
|
|
.It
|
|
Required arguments
|
|
(if any)
|
|
are next,
|
|
listed in the order they should be specified on the command line.
|
|
.It
|
|
Finally,
|
|
any optional arguments should be listed,
|
|
listed in the order they should be specified,
|
|
and all inside brackets.
|
|
.El

A bar

|

.Dq either-or

|
options/arguments,
|
|
and multiple options/arguments which are specified together are
|
|
placed in a single set of brackets.

.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the manual page options description should list the options in
|
|
pure alphabetical order.
|
|
That is, without regard to whether an option takes arguments or not.
|
|
The alphabetical ordering should take into account the case ordering
|
|
shown above.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
New core kernel code should be reasonably compliant with the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
guides.
|
|
The guidelines for third-party maintained modules and device drivers are more
|
|
relaxed but at a minimum should be internally consistent with their style.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Stylistic changes (including whitespace changes) are hard on the source
|
|
repository and are to be avoided without good reason.
|
|
Code that is approximately
|
|
.Fx
|
|
KNF
|
|
.Nm
|
|
compliant in the repository must not diverge from compliance.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Whenever possible, code should be run through a code checker
|
|
(e.g.,
|
|
.Xr lint 1
|
|
or
|
|
.Nm gcc Fl Wall )
|
|
and produce minimal warnings.
