The flag package implements command-line flag parsing.
Usage:
Define flags using flag.String(), Bool(), Int(), etc. Example:
import "flag"
var ip *int = flag.Int("flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
If you like, you can bind the flag to a variable using the Var() functions.
var flagvar int
func init() {
flag.IntVar(&flagvar, "flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
}
Or you can create custom flags that satisfy the Value interface (with
pointer receivers) and couple them to flag parsing by
flag.Var(&flagVal, "name", "help message for flagname")
For such flags, the default value is just the initial value of the variable.
After all flags are defined, call
flag.Parse()
to parse the command line into the defined flags.
Flags may then be used directly. If you're using the flags themselves,
they are all pointers; if you bind to variables, they're values.
fmt.Println("ip has value ", *ip);
fmt.Println("flagvar has value ", flagvar);
After parsing, the arguments after the flag are available as the
slice flag.Args() or individually as flag.Arg(i).
The arguments are indexed from 0 up to flag.NArg().
Command line flag syntax:
-flag
-flag=x
-flag x // non-boolean flags only
One or two minus signs may be used; they are equivalent.
The last form is not permitted for boolean flags because the
meaning of the command
cmd -x *
will change if there is a file called 0, false, etc. You must
use the -flag=false form to turn off a boolean flag.
Flag parsing stops just before the first non-flag argument
("-" is a non-flag argument) or after the terminator "--".
Integer flags accept 1234, 0664, 0x1234 and may be negative.
Boolean flags may be 1, 0, t, f, true, false, TRUE, FALSE, True, False.
It is safe to call flag.Parse multiple times, possibly after changing
os.Args. This makes it possible to implement command lines with
subcommands that enable additional flags, as in:
flag.Bool(...) // global options
flag.Parse() // parse leading command
subcmd := flag.Args(0)
switch subcmd {
// add per-subcommand options
}
os.Args = flag.Args()
flag.Parse()
