Miscellaneous options
=====================

   To find out what version of `indent' you have, use the command
`indent -version'.  This will report the version number of `indent',
without doing any of the normal processing.

   The `-v' option can be used to turn on verbose mode.  When in
verbose mode, `indent' reports when it splits one line of input into
two more more lines of output, and gives some size statistics at
completion.

   The `-pmt' option causes `indent' to preserve the access and
modification times on the output files.  Using this option has the
advantage that running indent on all source and header files in a
project won't cause `make' to rebuild all targets.  This option is only
available on Operating Systems that have the POSIX `utime(2)' function.
