From 0be84b7e48ae84ef7e8e0513d9f4147828c57962 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Daniel=20Mart=C3=AD?= Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2024 22:10:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] cmd/shfmt: document when --filename is needed for EditorConfig support EditorConfig files are found based on a script's absolute path, and the EditorConfig patterns are usually filename-based as well. When formatting standard input, there is no known filename or path. Sometimes there's a need to format a stream of bytes in memory without having to place them on a file, which is why we support stdin. We added the --filename flag for this purpose a long time ago, and the tests already verified this fact - we just hadn't documented it. While here, also add a test case for absolute paths.
