rsyslog code style

Note: code style is still under construction. This guide lists some basic style requirements.

Code that does not match the code style guide will not pass CI testing.

The following is required right now:

  • we use ANSI C99
  • indentation is done with tabs, not spaces
  • trailing whitespace in lines is not permitted
  • lines longer than 120 characters are not permitted; everything over 120 chars is rejected and must be reformatted.
