If you are developing code _for_ FreeBSD, then there is a set of style guidelines. You can read it on every FreeBSD system: % man 9 style If, on the other hand, you are developing applications for your own use, the specific style doesn't matter so much, as long as you like it. > Does ANSI or POSIX dictate anything about style or coding standards? Not really.
