A CLI argument definition

Fields

short: Option<char>

The short version of the argument, without the preceding -.

NOTE: Any leading - characters will be stripped, and only the first non - character will be used as the short version.

name: String

The unique argument name

description: Option<String>

The argument description which will be shown on the help information. Typically, this is a short (one line) description of the arg.

long_description: Option<String>

The argument long description which will be shown on the help information. Typically this a more detailed (multi-line) message that describes the argument.

takes_value: Option<bool>

Specifies that the argument takes a value at run time.

NOTE: values for arguments may be specified in any of the following methods

• Using a space such as -o value or –option value
• Using an equals and no space such as -o=value or –option=value
• Use a short and no space such as -ovalue

multiple: Option<bool>

Specifies that the argument may appear more than once.

• For flags, this results in the number of occurrences of the flag being recorded. For example -ddd or -d -d -d would count as three occurrences.
• For options there is a distinct difference in multiple occurrences vs multiple values. For example, –opt val1 val2 is one occurrence, but two values. Whereas –opt val1 –opt val2 is two occurrences.

multiple_occurrences: Option<bool>

number_of_values: Option<u64>

possible_values: Option<Vec<String>>

Specifies a list of possible values for this argument. At runtime, the CLI verifies that only one of the specified values was used, or fails with an error message.

min_values: Option<u64>

Specifies the minimum number of values for this argument. For example, if you had a -f argument where you wanted at least 2 ‘files’, you would set minValues: 2, and this argument would be satisfied if the user provided, 2 or more values.

max_values: Option<u64>

Specifies the maximum number of values are for this argument. For example, if you had a -f argument where you wanted up to 3 ‘files’, you would set .max_values(3), and this argument would be satisfied if the user provided, 1, 2, or 3 values.

required: Option<bool>

Sets whether or not the argument is required by default.

• Required by default means it is required, when no other conflicting rules have been evaluated
• Conflicting rules take precedence over being required.

required_unless_present: Option<String>

Sets an arg that override this arg’s required setting i.e. this arg will be required unless this other argument is present.

required_unless_present_all: Option<Vec<String>>

Sets args that override this arg’s required setting i.e. this arg will be required unless all these other arguments are present.

required_unless_present_any: Option<Vec<String>>

Sets args that override this arg’s required setting i.e. this arg will be required unless at least one of these other arguments are present.

conflicts_with: Option<String>

Sets a conflicting argument by name i.e. when using this argument, the following argument can’t be present and vice versa.

conflicts_with_all: Option<Vec<String>>

The same as conflictsWith but allows specifying multiple two-way conflicts per argument.

requires: Option<String>

Tets an argument by name that is required when this one is present i.e. when using this argument, the following argument must be present.

requires_all: Option<Vec<String>>

Sts multiple arguments by names that are required when this one is present i.e. when using this argument, the following arguments must be present.

requires_if: Option<Vec<String>>

Allows a conditional requirement with the signature [arg, value] the requirement will only become valid if arg’s value equals ${value}.

required_if_eq: Option<Vec<String>>

Allows specifying that an argument is required conditionally with the signature [arg, value] the requirement will only become valid if the arg’s value equals ${value}.

require_equals: Option<bool>

Requires that options use the –option=val syntax i.e. an equals between the option and associated value.

index: Option<u64>

The positional argument index, starting at 1.

The index refers to position according to other positional argument. It does not define position in the argument list as a whole. When utilized with multiple=true, only the last positional argument may be defined as multiple (i.e. the one with the highest index).
