* The default set of checks can be overridden using the ``-checks`` argument,
taking the identical format as :program:`clang-tidy` does. For example
- ``-checks=-*,misc-use-override`` will run the ``misc-use-override``
- checker only.
+ ``-checks=-*,modernize-use-override`` will run the ``modernize-use-override``
+ check only.
* To restrict the files examined you can provide one or more regex arguments
that the file names are matched against.
