+  Default: `0`
+
+  This variable can be changed to modify whether to use a local .clang-format
+  file. If the file is found, the flag '-style=file' is passed to clang-format
+  and any options configured via |g:ale_c_clangformat_style_option| are not

+  If this option is enabled but no .clang-format file is found, default back to
