+Trailing whitespaces
+====================
+
+This linter verifies if a file has:
+
+* unnecessary trailing whitespaces,
+* Windows carriage return,
+* empty lines at the end of file,
+* if file ends with a newline or not
+
+
+Run Locally
+-----------
+
+This mozlint linter can be run using mach:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+
+    $ mach lint --linter file-whitespace <file paths>
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+This linter is enabled on most of the code base.
+
+This job is configured as `tier 2 <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Sheriffing/Job_Visibility_Policy#Overview_of_the_Job_Visibility_Tiers>`_.
+
+Autofix
+-------
+
+This linter provides a ``--fix`` option. The python script is doing the change itself.
