but the preferred way, as shown to us by the prophets Kernighan and Ritchie, is to put the opening brace last on the line, and put the closing brace first, thusly:
So much for the idea that kernel developers are super-smart programming "gods". Formatting code that way is brain-dead and Kernighan and Ritchie are false prophets. The real prophet, Allman, tells us the Truth - curly braces go on a line by themselves, aligned vertically and indented to the same level as their corresponding control structure.

These theories were ultimately settled by trial by combat between the champions representing each: Linux and BSD. Linux has clearly won this battle, and thus, the gods have spoken. ~
