GNU Style for me.

BSD ?  Not sure how different it is from Linux, but OpenBSD
has a detail write up in manual style(9):

https://man.openbsd.org/style

FWIW, people really should learn to use indent(1), will help
with many of these arguments :)  For example:

GNU Style for use with BSD indent(1), File .indent.pro, but
BSD indent(1) may format it a bit different that GNU indent(1).
-i2
-bl
-lp
-nce

GNU Style for use with GNU indent(1), File .indent.pro
--gnu-style
--dont-format-comments
--no-space-after-function-call-names
--dont-break-procedure-type
--line-length78
--case-indentation2
