## Historique du projet et usages

GNU indent is the GNU Project's C source formatter, a command-line tool for changing whitespace and layout without changing program meaning. Its manual describes it as a formatter for C programs that can make code easier to read and convert between styles.

### Historique du projet

The GNU manual records Free Software Foundation copyright years beginning in 1989 and describes behavioral changes across early GNU indent releases, including GNU-style indentation as the default from version 1.2 and a revised command format from version 1.3. The formatter retained compatibility concepts from older indent implementations, including an option preset for the original Berkeley style, while making GNU style a first-class default.

### Historique d'adoption

GNU indent became part of the long-lived GNU command-line toolchain for projects that wanted reproducible C formatting before newer formatters became widespread. Its homepage points users to GNU mirrors, Savannah development, Info and man documentation, and the GNU bug-tracking workflow, placing it in the same distribution culture as other standalone GNU utilities.

### Modes d'utilisation

Practitioners use GNU indent to reformat C source files, write formatted output to a separate file or standard output, and select known style presets such as GNU, K&R, Berkeley, or Linux. It also supports a profile file mechanism, so teams or individual developers can keep repeated formatting options outside the command line.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

For package maintainers, GNU indent is a small but characteristic GNU utility: mostly invoked as a build or maintenance tool, sensitive to C dialect details, and useful when a project wants GNU formatting behavior rather than the indent variant supplied by another Unix.

### Chronologie

- 1989: GNU indent manual copyright history begins in the Free Software Foundation manual.
- Version 1.2: GNU style became the default indentation style.
- Version 1.3: GNU indent adopted the command forms documented in later manuals.
- 2023: Release notes for version 2.2.13 describe fixes and translation updates.

### Related projects

- GNU indent belongs to the family of Unix source-formatting tools and is often compared with BSD indent and newer C-family formatters such as clang-format.
