Perhaps some version 10 variants do, but 10.0.0 does not.

$ which clang-format
/usr/local/bin/clang-format
$ clang-format --version
clang-format version 10.0.0 (git://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git 305b961f64b75e73110e309341535f6d5a48ed72)
$ clang-format --dry-run
clang-format: Unknown command line argument '--dry-run'.  Try: 'clang-format --help'
clang-format: Did you mean '  --debug'?
