+Per-file ignores
+----------------
+
+To give a finer control, it is possible to specify an additional set of words to ignore in a specific file.
+
+1. ``--per-file-ignores``: A pair of arguments in the command line. The first provides a file, or a glob, and the second a comma-separated list of words to ignore for the given file:
+
+   .. code-block:: sh
+
+       codespell --per-file-ignores "*.ext" word1,word2,word3
+
+2. A comment anywhere in the file, preferably at the top. Words should be separated by a comma:
+
+   .. code-block:: python
+
+        # codespell:file-ignore wrod
+
+       def wrod(wrods)
