Disable GNU Indent backup files I am using GNU Indent to format C code in my project. By default backup files are created ending with a `~`. I don't want to have any backup files created, is there a way to disable it?

Looking through the man page for `indent` and the official GNU documentation I only see 2 methods for controlling this behavior.

The environment variables:

* SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX
* VERSION_WIDTH



I tried various tricks of setting the width to 0 and also setting the SIMPLE_BACKUP_WIDTH to nothing (`""`). Neither had the desired effect. I think you're only course of action would be to create a shell alias and/or function to wrap the command `indent` to do what you want.

### Example


$ function myindent() { indent "$@"; rm "$@"~; }


Then when I run it:


$ myindent ev_epoll.c


I get the desired effect:


$ ls -l | grep ev_epo
-rw-r--r--. 1 saml saml 7525 Dec 13 18:07 ev_epoll.c
