Module gflags::custom

Interface for defining your own flag data type.

A list of the built-in supported flag types may be found in the list of impls of the Value trait. The gflags library is extensible to custom data types by providing your own impl of that trait.

Examples

use gflags::custom::{Arg, Error, Result, Value};

gflags::define! {
    --color <WHEN>: Color = Color::Auto
}

enum Color {
    Never,
    Always,
    Auto,
}

impl Value for Color {
    fn parse(arg: Arg) -> Result<Self> {
        match arg.get_str() {
            "never" => Ok(Color::Never),
            "always" => Ok(Color::Always),
            "auto" => Ok(Color::Auto),
            _ => Err(Error::new("invalid color")),
        }
    }
}

Structs

Arg	Raw argument value given for a non-boolean flag.
Error	Error returned when parsing a flag value fails.

Traits
