/* This document will contain general hacking rules for genisofs */


C Code guidelines:
-------------------
-	Never more than 80 chars horizontally
-	Only use C-Style commenting
-	function names: lower case, separated by underscore
-	Using splint is strongly recommended
- 	Use 4 spaces, not tabs

Code should be formatted according to following example:

# include "stdio.h"

char *buffer;			/* Comments to the right of declarations */
char *start, *end, *last;
char *name;
/*         This separates blocks of declarations */
int baz;

struct square {
    int x;
    int y;
};

#ifdef ENABLE_NLS
	bindtextdomain(GETTEXT_PACKAGE, PACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR);
#else			/* Comments to the right of preproc directives */
	textdomain(PACKAGE);
#endif

int
foo(int number, int len, char *name)
{
    if (number > 0) {
	for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
	    len++;
	number--;
    } else {
	while (len) {
	len--};
	number++;
    }
    puts("Hi");
}

/* 
 The procedure bar is even less interesting.
 it does nothing particular :) 
 */
char*
bar(int nb)
{
    long c;
    c = (long) foo(2, 5, "end");
    
    /* Write "Hello" to Console */
    puts("Hello");		
    
    switch (nb) {
    case 0:
	break;
    case 1:
	nb++;
	break;	
    default:
	break;
    }
}

int
bool_test(char *mask)
{
    if (mask
	&& ((mask[0] == '\0') ||
	    (mask[1] == '\0' && ((mask[0] == '0') || (mask[0] == '*')))))
	return 0;
}

int
function_with_lots_of_arguments(char* arg1, char* arg2, int arg3, int arg4,
	char* arg5, void* arg6, int arg7, float arg8, float arg9, float arg10,
	int arg11, char* arg12)
{
	return 0;
}
