 ## Arguments
 
 You can pass any number of arguments to clangd. To see a full set of available options, run `clangd --help` from the command line. For example with `--function-arg-placeholders=0` completions contain only parentheses for function calls, while the default (`--function-arg-placeholders=1`) completions also contain placeholders for method parameters.
