-#!/bin/bash
-#
-# Usage: check-rustfmt.sh [--install]
-#
-# Check that the desired version of rustfmt is installed.
-#
-# Rustfmt is still immature enough that its formatting decisions can change
-# between versions. This makes it difficult to enforce a certain style in a
-# test script since not all developers will upgrade rustfmt at the same time.
-# To work around this, we only verify formatting when a specific version of
-# rustfmt is installed.
-#
-# Exits 0 if the right version of rustfmt is installed, 1 otherwise.
-#
-# With the --install option, also tries to install the right version.
-
-# This version should always be bumped to the newest version available.
