 ### stdout of an external command
 
-You may use the initialization option `"compilationDatabaseCommand"` to provide the JSON compilation database. ccls will read its stdout rather than read `compile_commands.json`. This may be useful when ccls cannot parse the `compile_commands.json` correctly (e.g. MSVC cl.exe, Intel C++ Compiler options)
