Hello.

I received this report from the Debian bug system.
Please keep the Cc: lines when replying. Thanks.

[ While we are at it, I see that the current maintainer seems to be alive
  again. Hello David. It would be very nice if you could take a look at
  http://bugs.debian.org/indent. There are a lot of bugs there which I'm
  unsure about how to fix them ].

Subject: Bug#423692: indent: option "-brf" not documented

Package: indent
Version: 2.2.9-8
Severity: normal

Unfortunately neither the man page nor texinfo mentions the very useful
"-brf" switch, which aligns functions this way:

int main() {
}

instead of

int main()
{
}

I had to ask Lazyweb to learn about this switch:
