6Package pflag is a drop-in replacement for Go's flag package, implementing
7POSIX/GNU-style --flags.
8
9pflag is compatible with the GNU extensions to the POSIX recommendations
10for command-line options. See
11http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Argument-Syntax.html
12
13Usage:
14
15pflag is a drop-in replacement of Go's native flag package. If you import
16pflag under the name "flag" then all code should continue to function
17with no changes.
18
19 import flag "github.com/spf13/pflag"
20
21There is one exception to this: if you directly instantiate the Flag struct
22there is one more field "Shorthand" that you will need to set.
23Most code never instantiates this struct directly, and instead uses
24functions such as String(), BoolVar(), and Var(), and is therefore
25unaffected.
26
27Define flags using flag.String(), Bool(), Int(), etc.
28
29This declares an integer flag, -flagname, stored in the pointer ip, with type *int.
30 var ip = flag.Int("flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
31If you like, you can bind the flag to a variable using the Var() functions.
32 var flagvar int
33 func init() {
34 flag.IntVar(&flagvar, "flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
35 }
36Or you can create custom flags that satisfy the Value interface (with
37pointer receivers) and couple them to flag parsing by
38 flag.Var(&flagVal, "name", "help message for flagname")
39For such flags, the default value is just the initial value of the variable.
40
41After all flags are defined, call
42 flag.Parse()
43to parse the command line into the defined flags.
44
45Flags may then be used directly. If you're using the flags themselves,
46they are all pointers; if you bind to variables, they're values.
47 fmt.Println("ip has value ", *ip)
48 fmt.Println("flagvar has value ", flagvar)
49
50After parsing, the arguments after the flag are available as the
51slice flag.Args() or individually as flag.Arg(i).
52The arguments are indexed from 0 through flag.NArg()-1.
53
54The pflag package also defines some new functions that are not in flag,
55that give one-letter shorthands for flags. You can use these by appending
56'P' to the name of any function that defines a flag.
57 var ip = flag.IntP("flagname", "f", 1234, "help message")
58 var flagvar bool
59 func init() {
60 flag.BoolVarP("boolname", "b", true, "help message")
61 }
62 flag.VarP(&flagVar, "varname", "v", 1234, "help message")
63Shorthand letters can be used with single dashes on the command line.
64Boolean shorthand flags can be combined with other shorthand flags.
65
66Command line flag syntax:
67 --flag // boolean flags only
68 --flag=x
69
70Unlike the flag package, a single dash before an option means something
71different than a double dash. Single dashes signify a series of shorthand
72letters for flags. All but the last shorthand letter must be boolean flags.
73 // boolean flags
74 -f
75 -abc
76 // non-boolean flags
77 -n 1234
78 -Ifile
79 // mixed
80 -abcs "hello"
81 -abcn1234
82
83Flag parsing stops after the terminator "--". Unlike the flag package,
84flags can be interspersed with arguments anywhere on the command line
85before this terminator.
86
87Integer flags accept 1234, 0664, 0x1234 and may be negative.
88Boolean flags (in their long form) accept 1, 0, t, f, true, false,
89TRUE, FALSE, True, False.
90Duration flags accept any input valid for time.ParseDuration.
91
92The default set of command-line flags is controlled by
93top-level functions. The FlagSet type allows one to define
94independent sets of flags, such as to implement subcommands
95in a command-line interface. The methods of FlagSet are
96analogous to the top-level functions for the command-line
97flag set.
