.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fBfiles\fR

.TP
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-check\fR
return error code if changes are needed

.TP
\fB\-cd\fR, \fB\-\-check\-diff\fR
return error code if changes are needed, also display file diffs

.TP
\fB\-\-imports\fR \fI\,IMPORTS\/\fR
by default, only unused standard library imports are removed; specify a comma\-
.br
separated list of additional modules/packages

.TP
\fB\-\-remove\-all\-unused\-imports\fR

.TP
\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-recursive\fR
drill down directories recursively

.TP
\fB\-j\fR n, \fB\-\-jobs\fR n
number of parallel jobs; match CPU count if value is 0 (default: 0)

.TP
\fB\-\-exclude\fR globs
exclude file/directory names that match these comma\-separated globs

.TP
\fB\-\-expand\-star\-imports\fR
expand wildcard star imports with undefined names; this only triggers if there
.br
is only one star import in the file; this is skipped if there are any uses of
.br
`__all__` or `del` in the file

.TP
\fB\-\-ignore\-init\-module\-imports\fR
exclude __init__.py when removing unused imports

.TP
\fB\-\-remove\-duplicate\-keys\fR
remove all duplicate keys in objects

.TP
\fB\-\-remove\-unused\-variables\fR
remove unused variables

.TP
\fB\-\-remove\-rhs\-for\-unused\-variables\fR
remove RHS of statements when removing unused variables (unsafe)

.TP
\fB\-\-ignore\-pass\-statements\fR
ignore all pass statements

.TP
\fB\-\-ignore\-pass\-after\-docstring\fR
ignore pass statements after a newline ending on '"""'

.TP
\fB\-\-version\fR
show program's version number and exit

.TP
\fB\-\-quiet\fR
Suppress output if there are no issues

.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
print more verbose logs (you can repeat `\-v` to make it more verbose)

.TP
\fB\-\-stdin\-display\-name\fR \fI\,STDIN_DISPLAY_NAME\/\fR
the name used when processing input from stdin

.TP
\fB\-\-config\fR \fI\,CONFIG_FILE\/\fR
Explicitly set the config file instead of auto determining based on file
.br
location

.TP
\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-in\-place\fR
