This program parses error messages from various compilers and linters and outputs them in a format that is compatible with Kakoune's format.
Let's format a message outputed by PHP syntax checking tool:
php -l myfile.php | errfmt -e '%k: %m in %f on line %l'
As you can see, messages shape is configured via the --errfmt (-e)
flag. The syntax is heavily inspired from Vim's similar feature. See
Rust crate documentation for more details on supported placeholders.
Additionally, the --file flag can be used to specify a static filename
and override any mistake made by the linter (ie. when input comes
from STDIN).

Integration tests are added to the snapshots folder. Check this folder
for a quick glance at currently supported linters. Do not forget to add
tests in case you want to implement support for a new input format.
