Usage:
  dotnet-csharpier [options] [<directoryOrFile>...]

Arguments:
  <directoryOrFile>  One or more paths to a directory containing c# files to format or a c# file to format. If a path is not specified the current directory is used

Options:
  --check                      Check that files are formatted. Will not write any changes.
  --loglevel <loglevel>        Specify the log level - Debug, Information (default), Warning, Error, None [default: Information]
  --no-cache                   Bypass the cache to determine if a file needs to be formatted.

  --write-stdout               Write the results of formatting any files to stdout.
  --pipe-multiple-files        Keep csharpier running so that multiples files can be piped to it via stdin.
