## Indent
------
### Introduction to Indent
The *indent* program can be used to make code easier to read. It can
also convert from one style of writing C to another. *indent*
understands a substantial amount about the syntax of C, but it also
attempts to cope with incomplete and misformed syntax.
### Downloading Indent
The latest version of *indent*: [2.2.13](https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/indent/indent-2.2.13.tar.xz)
