Crate argfile

argfile

Load additional CLI args from file

Prior art:

• javac argument files
• Microsoft response files
• Python fromfile

This is meant to work with any CLI parser, like clap, by pre-processing the arguments, like wild.

Examples

argfile::expand_args(
    argfile::parse_fromfile,
    argfile::PREFIX,
).unwrap();

To integrate this with wild and clap

let args = wild::args_os();
let args = argfile::expand_args_from(
    args,
    argfile::parse_fromfile,
    argfile::PREFIX,
).unwrap();
let matches = clap::Command::new("your_app")
    .get_matches_from(args);
