+
+ Specify a list of mappings of files and the codes that should be ignored
+ for the entirety of the file. This allows for a project to have a default
+ list of violations that should be ignored as well as file-specific
+ violations for files that have not been made compliant with the project
+ rules.
+
+ This option supports syntax similar to :option:`--exclude` such that glob
+ patterns will also work here.
+
+ This can be combined with both :option:`--ignore` and
+ :option:`--extend-ignore` to achieve a full flexibility of style options.

+ Command-line usage:

+ flake8 --per-file-ignores='project/*/__init__.py:F401 setup.py:E121'

+ This **can** be specified in config files.
