Usage: $ME [OPTIONS] FILE...

Detect any instance in FILE of a useless "if" test before a free call, e.g.,
"if (p) free (p);".  Any such test may be safely removed without affecting
the semantics of the C code in FILE.  Use --name=FOO --name=BAR to also
detect free-like functions named FOO and BAR.

OPTIONS:

   --list       print only the name of each matching FILE (\\0-terminated)
   --name=N     add name N to the list of \'free\'-like functions to detect;
                  may be repeated

   --help       display this help and exit
   --version    output version information and exit

Exit status:

  0   one or more matches
  1   no match
  2   an error

EXAMPLE:

For example, this command prints all removable "if" tests before "free"
and "kfree" calls in the linux kernel sources:

    git ls-files -z |xargs -0 $ME --name=kfree

Be careful that the result of the above transformation is valid.
If the matched string is followed by "else", then obviously, it won't be.

When modifying files, refuse to process anything other than a regular file.
