Betty is a C code and documentation style checker written in Perl, based on the Holberton School style guide which is largely inspired by the Linux Kernel coding style. It provides two command-line tools, betty-style and betty-doc, that check C source files for style and documentation compliance.
Use cases
- check C code against Holberton style guide
- lint C files for Linux kernel-style formatting
- validate C documentation comments
- run a coding style checker from the command line
- enforce consistent C style in student projects
When to choose
- you are a Holberton/ALX student needing to pass Betty style checks
- you want a lightweight Perl-based C style linter inspired by Linux Kernel style
- you need to check both code style and doc comment style for C
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose modern C linter like clang-tidy or cppcheck
- your project does not follow the Holberton/Betty style guide
- you need linting for languages other than C
