 These ignore comments also apply to all children of the node, identical to the
 behavior of the formatting ignore directive described above.
 
+You can also disable specific source transforming rules for an entire file
+by using the file-level ignore directive with a list of rule names. For example:
+
+```swift
+// swift-format-ignore-file: DoNotUseSemicolons, FullyIndirectEnum
+import Zoo
+import Arrays
+
+struct Foo {
+  func foo() { bar();baz(); }
+}
+```
+In this case, only the DoNotUseSemicolons and FullyIndirectEnum rules are disabled
+throughout the file, while all other formatting rules (such as line breaking and 
+indentation) remain active.
