1. Separate subject from body with a blank line
|
|
|
|
|
2. Limit the subject line to 50 characters
|
|
|
|
|
3. Capitalize the subject line
|
|
|
|
|
4. Do not end the subject line with a period
|
|
|
|
|
5. Use the imperative mood in the subject line
|
|
|
|
|
6. Wrap the body at 72 characters
|
|
|
|
|
7. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how

## Style
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project follows the the

|
|
|
[Linux kernel's style guide](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#codingstyle)
|

|
|
|
as far as coding style is concererned, with the following exceptions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When declaring pointer variables, the asterisk (`*`) is placed on the left
|
|
|
|
|
with the type rather than the variable name. Declaring multiple variables in
|
|
|
|
|
the same line is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
* Wrapped argument lists should not be aligned. Use two tabs instead. There is
|
|
|
|
|
a lot of code that uses aligned argument lists in the project, but I have
|
|
|
|
|
come to the conclusion that these alignments are not very nice to maintain.
