1// Package arg parses command line arguments using the fields from a struct.
2//
3// For example,
4//
5// var args struct {
6// Iter int
7// Debug bool
8// }
9// arg.MustParse(&args)
10//
11// defines two command line arguments, which can be set using any of
12//
13// ./example --iter=1 --debug // debug is a boolean flag so its value is set to true
14// ./example -iter 1 // debug defaults to its zero value (false)
15// ./example --debug=true // iter defaults to its zero value (zero)
16//
17// The fastest way to see how to use go-arg is to read the examples below.
18//
19// Fields can be bool, string, any float type, or any signed or unsigned integer type.
20// They can also be slices of any of the above, or slices of pointers to any of the above.
21//
22// Tags can be specified using the `arg` and `help` tag names:
23//
24// var args struct {
25// Input string `arg:"positional"`
26// Log string `arg:"positional,required"`
27// Debug bool `arg:"-d" help:"turn on debug mode"`
28// RealMode bool `arg:"--real"
29// Wr io.Writer `arg:"-"`
30// }
31//
32// Any tag string that starts with a single hyphen is the short form for an argument
33// (e.g. `./example -d`), and any tag string that starts with two hyphens is the long
34// form for the argument (instead of the field name).
35//
36// Other valid tag strings are `positional` and `required`.
37//
38// Fields can be excluded from processing with `arg:"-"`.
