There are several variables that control the formatting style for C
programs -- I set the following in my .emacs:

    (setq c-indent-level 4)
    (setq c-continued-statement-offset 4)
    (setq c-brace-offset -4)
    (setq c-argdecl-indent 0)

(Please don't discuss these settings -- this is just an example of my
*personal* preferences.)

You can set these variables in each sources files separately by using
Emacs' "Local Variables" section (read the node "File Variables" in
the Emacs manual). The bottom of a source file would then look like
this:

/*
 * Local Variables:
 * c-indent-level: 4
 * c-continued-statement-offset: 4
 * c-brace-offset: -4
 * c-argdecl-indent: 0
 * End:
 */

These variables (usually global) become buffer-local when set in this
way.
