Argonaut
An argument parser for Rust, that grants as much control over the parser as possible.
Argument conversion
This means that the arguments are not converted to other types (except for switches that are boolean by default).
Help messages
It also means that help messages are not handled either. Just write it yourself, and make it NICE!
Error handling
The actual argument parsing returns errors that should be pretty simple to convey to users, but these are not handled by the parser either.
Adding arguments to the parser and accessing arguments on the parsed arguments will only return an error string, as they may only have logical errors, such as adding arguments that would overwrite each other, or trying to access a parsed argument using an invalid identifier.
Example
This can be found in examples/main.rs as well, and be run with
cargo run --example main -- foo bar -x baz --verbose -- arg --help
.
You can also try running it without the arguments, but these arguments will make the parse succeed.
