consider them as errors. You can prefix `-` to disable
any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):

-* `trailing-space` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
+* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
as an error (enabled by default).
* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
error (enabled by default).
* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with 8 or more
space characters as an error (not enabled by default).
+* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
+ (enabled by default).
+* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
+ `blank-at-eof`.
* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
