 //  This file implements a clang-check tool that runs the
 //  clang::SyntaxOnlyAction over a number of translation units.
 //
-//  Usage:
-//  clang-check [-p <cmake-output-dir>] <file1> <file2> ...
-//
-//  Where <cmake-output-dir> is a CMake build directory in which a file named
-//  compile_commands.json exists (enable -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS in
-//  CMake to get this output). If not provided, clang-check will search for this
-//  file in all of <file1>'s parent directories.
-//
-//  <file1> ... specify the paths of files in the CMake source tree. This path
-//  is looked up in the compile command database. If the path of a file is
-//  absolute, it needs to point into CMake's source tree. If the path is
-//  relative, the current working directory needs to be in the CMake source
-//  tree and the file must be in a subdirectory of the current working
-//  directory. "./" prefixes in the relative files will be automatically
-//  removed, but the rest of a relative path must be a suffix of a path in
-//  the compile command line database.
-//
-//  For example, to use clang-check on all files in a subtree of the source
-//  tree, use:
-//
-//    /path/in/subtree $ find . -name '*.cpp'| xargs clang-check
-//
