+The convention can be configured using a regular expression (the default is `camelCase.js`). Additionally
+exporting files can be ignored with a second configuration parameter.
 
 ```json
-"filenames/match-regex": [2, "^[a-z_]+$"]
+"filenames/match-regex": [2, "^[a-z_]+$", true]
 ```
 
 With these configuration options, `camelCase.js` will be reported as an error while `snake_case.js` will pass.
+Additionally the files that have a named default export (according to the logic in the `match-exported` rule) will be ignored.
