Documentation

Indent a multi line block c-basic-offset extra.

E.g.:

int *foo[] = { int *foo[] = {
    NULL, NULL,
    {17}, <-> { <- c-indent-multi-line-block
                                 17
                                 }
                             <--> c-basic-offset

The block may use any kind of parenthesis character. nil is returned if the line doesn't start with a multi line block, which makes the function usable in list expressions.

Work with: Almost all syntactic symbols, but most useful on *-open.
