Previous documented command was providing docker folder mount option to addlicense as arguments... that was incorrect. Folder should be mounted before specifying the docker image to run.

# addlicense
The program ensures source code files have copyright license headers
by scanning directory patterns recursively.
It modifies all source files in place and avoids adding a license header
to any file that already has one.
addlicense requires go 1.16 or later.
## install
go install github.com/google/addlicense@latest
## usage
addlicense [flags] pattern [pattern ...]
-c copyright holder (defaults to "Google LLC")
-f custom license file (no default)
-l license type: apache, bsd, mit, mpl (defaults to "apache")
-y year (defaults to current year)
-check check only mode: verify presence of license headers and exit with non-zero code if missing
-ignore file patterns to ignore, for example: -ignore **/*.go -ignore vendor/**
The pattern argument can be provided multiple times, and may also refer
to single files.
The `-ignore` flag can use any pattern [supported by
doublestar](https://github.com/bmatcuk/doublestar#patterns).
## Running in a Docker Container
The simplest way to get the addlicense docker image is to pull from GitHub
Container Registry:
```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/google/addlicense:latest
```
Alternately, you can build it from source yourself:
```bash
docker build -t ghcr.io/google/addlicense .
```
Once you have the image, you can test that it works by running:
```bash
docker run -it ghcr.io/google/addlicense -h
```
Finally, to run it, mount the directory you want to scan to `/src` and pass the
appropriate addlicense flags:
```bash
docker run -it -v ${PWD}:/src ghcr.io/google/addlicense -c "Google LLC" *.go
```
## license
Apache 2.0
