Subject: is there a standard for putting the name of a source file in the file?
Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2012 08:48:51 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1211180844430.18098@oneiric> (raw)
  as i'm working my way thru the lib/ routines in barebox, i notice
that some source files there, like getopt.c, conveniently have the
filename right at the top:
/*
 * getopt.c - a simple getopt(3) implementation. See getopt.h for explanation.
...
i really like this habit as it makes it easy to send a file to the
printer and not forget what the file was.
  however, most of the files in lib/ don't have that.  as i work my
way through the files, i'd be happy to add something like that to each
file, and submit the changes all as one patch.  is there a standard?
from what i can see, there's quite the variety in how people add that
to a source file.
  i'm open to guidance and i can take it from there.
