There are two main ways this happens:

2. Provide `.ccls`. It is a line-based text file describing compiler flags.
2. Provide a [`.ccls` file](#ccls-file). It is a line-based text file describing compiler flags.

If neither exists, then when ccls starts it will not index anything: instead it

`.ccls` is a line-based text file at the project root. Its main function is
to specify compiler flags needed to properly index your code: `-I` `-D` etc.
Each line consists of one argument. No whitespace splitting is performed on the
argument, thus `-I foo` cannot be used (use `-Ifoo` or `-I\nfoo`).
Each line consists of one argument to be added to the compiler command line.
No whitespace splitting is performed on the argument, thus `-I foo` cannot be
used (use `-Ifoo` or `-I\nfoo` for example).
Subdirectories of the project can also contain `.ccls` files, if needed, to
specify compiler flags specific to those directories.
A line may start with zero or more `%` directives.
A line may optionally start with one or more `%` directives, which specialize
the argument on that line.
Available directives include:
### `%compile_commands.json`
By default `.ccls` specify compiler flags of files not listed in
By default `.ccls` compiler flags are applied _only_ to files not listed in
`compile_commands.json`. If this directive appears first in `.ccls` then after
`compile_commands.json` is parsed, the rest lines of `.ccls` will be appended
to the compiler flags.
`compile_commands.json` is parsed, the rest of the `.ccls` arguments will be
_appended_ to the compiler flags for files found in `compile_commands.json`.
### `%c` / `%cpp` / `%objective-c` / `%objective-cpp`
