🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Fix misleading feature descriptions in the comparison table.

  • Line 193 shows “Loads style configuration | ✅ via --version”.
    The --version flag selects the clang tool version, it does not load a style file.
    Style configuration is picked up automatically when a .clang-format file is present, or explicitly with --style=file.

  • Line 195 shows “Supports passing code string | ✅ via --style”.
    --style selects a formatting style; it is unrelated to feeding code via stdin.
    If the intent is “formats code read from stdin ( - )”, spell that out explicitly.

Suggested fix:

-| Loads style configuration        | ✅ via `--version`                                                    | ✅ (default behavior)                                                       |
+| Loads style configuration        | ✅ via `--style=file` (or default `.clang-format`)                     | ✅ (default behavior)                                                       |
-| Supports passing code string     | ✅ via `--style`                                                      | ❌                                                                          |
+| Supports formatting code from stdin | ✅ via `-` (stdin)                                                    | ❌                                                                          |

Correcting these cells prevents confusion for readers comparing the two hooks.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In README.md around lines 190 to 196, the feature descriptions in the comparison
table are misleading regarding style configuration loading and code string
passing. Update the "Loads style configuration" row to remove "via --version"
and clarify that style configuration is automatically loaded from a
.clang-format file or specified with --style=file. For the "Supports passing
code string" row, replace "via --style" with a clear statement that the tool
supports formatting code read from stdin (using -). This will accurately reflect
the features and avoid confusion.
