 This rule is aimed at highlighting an unnecessary block of code following an `if` containing a return statement. As such, it will warn when it encounters an `else` following a chain of `if`s, all of them containing a `return` statement.

 1. This option throws an error when code is piped to ESLint.
 1. This option has no effect on code that uses a processor, unless the processor opts into allowing autofixes.
 
+If you want to fix code from `stdin` or otherwise want to get the fixes without actually writing them to the file, use the [`--fix-dry-run`](#--fix-dry-run) option.
+
+#### `--fix-dry-run`
+
+This option has the same effect as `--fix` with one difference: the fixes are not saved to the file system. This makes it possible to fix code from `stdin` (when used with the `--stdin` flag).
+
+Because the default formatter does not output the fixed code, you'll have to use another one (e.g. `json`) to get the fixes. Here's an example of this pattern:
+
+```
+getSomeText | eslint --stdin --fix-dry-run --format=json
+```
+
+This flag can be useful for integrations (e.g. editor plugins) which need to autofix text from the command line without saving it to the filesystem.
+
 #### `--debug`
 
 This option outputs debugging information to the console. This information is useful when you're seeing a problem and having a hard time pinpointing it. The ESLint team may ask for this debugging information to help solve bugs.
