Most developers find Linux coding style easy to read, and there is
|
|
really no reason to reinvent this practise, so procps-ng goes along
|
|
with others.

|
In addtion to Linux coding style this project has few additional
|
|
wishes to contributors.
|
|
|
|
* Many small patches are favoured over one big. Break down is done on
|
|
basis of logical functionality; for example #endif mark ups,
|
|
compiler warning and exit codes fixes all should be individual
|
|
small patches.
|
|
|
|
* Use 'FIXME: ' in code comments, manual pages, autotools files,
|
|
scripts and so on to indicate something is wrong. The reason we do
|
|
is as simple as being able to find easily where problem areas are.
|
|
|
|
* In writing arithmetic comparisons, use "<" and "<=" rather than
|
|
">" and ">=". For some justification, read this:

|
|
|
|
* Be nice to translators. Don't change translatable strings if you
|
|
can avoid it. If you must rearrange individual lines (e.g., in
|
|
multi-line --help strings), extract and create new strings, rather
|
|
than extracting and moving into existing blocks. This avoids
|
|
making unnecessary work for translators.
