Contribution Guide for libgcompat

Introduction
============
This repository contains the libgcompat, a library providing GNU libc (glibc)
compatibility for Linux computers using the musl libc.
Code style
==========
Contributions are expected to maintain a consistent code style. This ensures
readable and future maintainability, since all the code will look and feel the
same. A few key notes about the C style used in this repository:
Include comments
````````````````
When using the ``#include`` preprocessor directive, add a comment next to it
detailing the interfaces used from that header. For example:
```
#include <stdlib.h> // getenv
```
Tabs
````
Hard tabs (\t) are used, and are 8 spaces. Where brace alignment is required,
tabs are used to the nearest eighth space, followed by the requisite number of
spaces.
Braces
``````
**Always** use braces for blocks like ``if``, ``while``, ``for``, even if the
block only contains a single statement. This is to ensure that more complex
decision trees do not have accidental side-effects.
