These latter commands are mostly useful for debugging purposes.
If you have a composite filetype with dots (like `django.python` or `php.wordpress`),
vim-autoformat first tries to detect and use formatters for the exact original filetype, and
then tries the same for all supertypes occuring from left to right in the original filetype

Clang-format is a product of LLVM source builds.
If you `brew install llvm`, clang-format can be found in /usr/local/Cellar/llvm/bin/.
Vim-autoformat checks whether there exists a `.clang-format` or a `_clang-format` file up in
the current directory's ancestry. Based on that it eithers uses that file or tries to match

#### Basic definitions
The formatprograms that available for a certain `<filetype>` are defined in `g:formatters_<filetype>`.
This is a list containing string indentifiers, which point to corresponding formatter definitions.
This is a list containing string identifiers, which point to corresponding formatter definitions.
The formatter definitions themselves are defined in `g:formatdef_<identifier>` as a string

Defining any of these variable manually in your .vimrc, will override the default value, if existing.

vim-autoformat internally replaces the dots with underscores so you can specify formatters
through `g:formatters_django_python` and so on.
To override these options for a local buffer, use the buffer local variants:
`b:formatters_<filetype>` and `b:formatdef_<identifier>`. This can be useful, for example, when
working with different projects with conflicting formatting rules, with each project having settings
in its own vimrc or exrc file:
```vim
let b:formatdef_custom_c='"astyle --mode=c --suffix=none --options=/home/user/special_project/astylerc"'
let b:formatters_c = ['custom_c']
