How do I configure indentation in vim in a specific way?

If I type the following

void main(int blah,

and then press enter, I want to continue here:

          float blah);

How can I achieve this?

The following commands will indent your code the right amount, using spaces rather than tabs and automatically indent after you start. The commands can be added to your .vimrc file.

set expandtab
set tabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set autoindent
set smartindent

I'd suggest you also read up on the smartindent and autoindent settings.
