Where can I find coding style guidelines for the Linux Audit framework source code?

Where can I find coding style guidelines for the Linux Audit framework source code?

[Mateusz Piotrowski]

Hello,

I wonder if there is a document describing the preferred coding style 
of the Linux Audit framework source code. Is it basically the style of
the Linux Kernel[1]?

Secondly, does it make sense to submit patches which fix style only?

Cheers,

Mateusz

No.

I have never used the kernel style. But if you look at the code, its fairly 
consistent - except that there are a whole lot of contributors over time. Not 
everyone followed the style exactly. I try to correct it over time. The main 
thing I hate is lines that are over 80 characters long or when a patch uses 
spaces and not tabs.

I don't like to have a lot of code churn just for style. I tend to fix style 
either on patch submission. Or if its big or I don't have time, I fix it when 
I'm in that area.
