 * `-r PROJECT_ROOT, --project_root PROJECT_ROOT` - output file paths relative to `PROJECT_ROOT`. E.g. Clang-Tidy outputs '/home/user/projects/A/src/main.cpp' file path and `PROJECT_ROOT` is set to '/home/user/projects/A' then Code Climate JSON mentions the file as 'src/main.cpp'.

+* `-j, --as_json_array` - output as JSON array instead of ending each issue with \0.
