+    If the initial buffer ends with one or more empty lines, vim-clang-format
+    will let one single empty line. This is not the clang-format behavior,
+    which do not let any empty line at the end of the file.
+    When the value is 1, vim-clang-format ensures that formatted buffer does
+    end with any empty lines.
+    The default value is 0 (which is the historical vim-clang-format
+    behavior).
