OSS Project C Code Standards

Welcome to the C code standards guide for our open-source project! 🧰📝 These guidelines aim to ensure consistency, readability, and maintainability across all C code contributions.

Key Principles

• Naming Conventions: Use descriptive names with underscores (e.g., variable_name). ⚙️
• Formatting Rules: Indent with 4 spaces, limit line length to 80 characters. 📐
• Comments & Documentation: Always document public APIs and complex logic. 📖

Best Practices

• Follow POSIX standards for system calls and file operations. 🌍
• Use const for function parameters that shouldn't be modified. 🔄
• Enable -Wall -Wextra flags during compilation. 🔧
