-# checks adherence to the formatting rules of the OpenSSL coding guidelines
-# assuming that the input files contain syntactically correct C code.
-# This pragmatic tool is incomplete and yields some false positives.
-# Still it should be useful for detecting most typical glitches.
-#
-# options:
-#  -l | --strict-len     decrease accepted max line length from 100 to 80
-#  -b | --sloppy-bodylen do not report function body length > 200
-#  -s | --sloppy-space   do not report whitespace nits
-#  -c | --sloppy-comment do not report indentation of comments
-#                        Otherwise for each multi-line comment the indentation of
-#                        its lines is checked for consistency. For each comment
-#                        that does not begin to the right of normal code its
-#                        indentation must be as for normal code, while in case it
-#                        also has no normal code to its right it is considered to
-#                        refer to the following line and may be indented equally.
-#  -m | --sloppy-macro   allow missing extra indentation of macro bodies
-#  -h | --sloppy-hang    when checking hanging indentation, do not report
-#                        * same indentation as on line before
-#                        * same indentation as non-hanging indent level
-#                        * indentation moved left (not beyond non-hanging indent)
-#                          just to fit contents within the line length limit
-#  -e | --eol-comment    report needless intermediate multiple consecutive spaces also before end-of-line comments
-#  -1 | --1-stmt         do more aggressive checks for { 1 stmt } - see below
-#
-# There are non-trivial false positives and negatives such as the following.
-#
-# * When a line contains several issues of the same kind only one is reported.
-#
-# * When a line contains more than one statement this is (correctly) reported
-#   but in some situations the indentation checks for subsequent lines go wrong.
-#
-# * There is the special OpenSSL rule not to unnecessarily use braces around
-#   single statements:
-#   {
-#       stmt;
-#   }
-#   except within if ... else constructs where some branch contains more than one
-#   statement. Since the exception is hard to recognize when such branches occur
-#   after the current position (such that false positives would be reported)
-#   the tool checks for this rule by default only for do/while/for bodies
-#   and for 'if' without 'else'.
-#   Yet with the --1-stmt option false positives are preferred over negatives.
-#   False negatives occur if the braces are more than two non-blank lines apart.
-#
-# * The presence of multiple consecutive spaces is regarded a coding style nit
-#   except when this is before end-of-line comments (unless the --eol-comment is given) and
-#   except when done in order to align certain columns over multiple lines, e.g.:
-#   # define AB  1
-#   # define CDE 22
-#   # define F   3333
-#   This pattern is recognized - and consequently extra space not reported -
-#   for a given line if in the non-blank line before or after (if existing)
-#   for each occurrence of "  \S" (where \S means non-space) in the given line
-#   there is " \S" in the other line in the respective column position.
-#   This may lead to both false negatives (in case of coincidental " \S")
-#   and false positives (in case of more complex multi-column alignment).
-#
-# * When just part of control structures depend on #if(n)(def), which can be
-#   considered bad programming style, indentation false positives occur, e.g.:
-#   #if X
-#       if (1) /* bad style */
-#   #else
-#       if (2) /* bad style resulting in false positive */
-#   #endif
