hk util trailing-whitespace

• Usage: hk util trailing-whitespace [-d --diff] [-f --fix] <FILES>…
• Effect: modifies state

Check for and optionally fix trailing whitespace

Only spaces and tabs before a line's terminator count as trailing whitespace. Each line keeps its own terminator, so a CRLF file stays CRLF.

Arguments

• <FILES>… — Files to check/fix

Flags

• -d --diff — Output a diff of the change. Cannot use with fix.
• -f --fix — Fix trailing whitespace by removing the spaces and tabs
• -h --help — Print help

Examples

Check first, or remove trailing whitespace in place.
