if(x == y)
{
    something();
}
else
{
    somethingelse();
}

Defaults are opening-curly = alone, closing-curly = alone and ignore-on-same-line = true.

GNU (gnu)

Opening and closing curly brackets are placed on lines by themselves

if (x == y)
  {
    something ();
  }
else
  {
    somethingelse ();
  }

Defaults are opening-curly = alone, closing-curly = alone and ignore-on-same-line = true.

K&R (k&r)

Opening curly bracket is placed on the same line as the keyword that defined the block.

if (x == y) {
     something();
} else {
    somethingelse();
}

Defaults are opening-curly = same, closing-curly = same and ignore-on-same-line = true.

Whitesmiths (wts)

    {
    something();
    }

if (x == y) {
    something();
}
else {
    somethingelse();
}

Defaults are opening-curly = same, closing-curly = alone and ignore-on-same-line = true.

Opening curly position

Controls the position of an opening curly bracket. Set opening-curly to either 'alone' or 'same'.

opening-curly = alone | same

Closing curly position

Controls the position of a closing curly bracket. Set closing-curly to either 'alone' or same'.

closing-curly = alone | same

Ignore curly positions when they appear on the same line

Set ignore-on-same-line to a true value to ignore opening-curly and closing-curly when the curlies appear on the same line. This is useful for expressions such as my @x = map { $_ + 1 } @y;.

ignore-on-same-line = true
