You provide the list of valid possibilities, and `clap` handles the rest. This means //! you focus on your *applications* functionality, and less on the parsing and validating of //! arguments. //! //! `clap` also provides the traditional version and help switches (or flags) 'for free' meaning //! automatically with no configuration. It does this by checking the list of valid possibilities you //! supplied and adding only the ones you haven't already defined. If you are using subcommands, //! `clap` will also auto-generate a `help` subcommand for you in addition to the traditional flags. //! //! Once `clap` parses the user provided string of arguments, it returns the matches along with any //! applicable values. If the user made an error or typo, `clap` informs them of the mistake and //! exits gracefully (or returns a `Result` type and allows you to perform any clean up prior to //! exit). Because of this, you can make reasonable assumptions in your code about the validity of //! the arguments. //! //! //! ## Quick Example //! //! The following examples show a quick example of some of the very basic functionality of `clap`. //! For more advanced usage, such as requirements, conflicts, groups, multiple values and //! occurrences see the [documentation](https://docs.rs/clap/), [examples/] directory of //! this repository or the [video tutorials]. //! //! **NOTE:** All of these examples are functionally the same, but show different styles in which to //! use `clap` //! //! The first example shows a method that allows more advanced configuration options (not shown in //! this small example), or even dynamically generating arguments when desired. The downside is it's //! more verbose. //! //! ```no_run //! // (Full example with detailed comments in examples/01b_quick_example.rs) //! // //! // This example demonstrates clap's full 'builder pattern' style of creating arguments which is //! // more verbose, but allows easier editing, and at times more advanced options, or the possibility //! // to generate arguments dynamically. //! use clap::{Arg, App, }; //! //! fn main() { //! let matches = App::new("My Super Program") //! .version("1.0") //! .author("Kevin K. ") //! .about("Does awesome things") //! .arg(Arg::with_name("config") //! .short('c') //! .long("config") //! .value_name("FILE") //! .help("Sets a custom config file") //! .takes_value(true)) //! .arg(Arg::with_name("INPUT") //! .help("Sets the input file to use") //! .required(true) //! .index(1)) //! .arg(Arg::with_name("v") //! .short('v') //! .multiple(true) //! .help("Sets the level of verbosity")) //! .subcommand(App::new("test") //! .about("controls testing features") //! .version("1.3") //! .author("Someone E. ") //! .arg(Arg::with_name("debug") //! .short('d') //! .help("print debug information verbosely"))) //! .get_matches(); //! //! // Gets a value for config if supplied by user, or defaults to "default.conf" //! let config = matches.value_of("config").unwrap_or("default.conf"); //! println!("Value for config: {}", config); //! //! // Calling .unwrap() is safe here because "INPUT" is required (if "INPUT" wasn't //! // required we could have used an 'if let' to conditionally get the value) //! println!("Using input file: {}", matches.value_of("INPUT").unwrap()); //! //! // Vary the output based on how many times the user used the "verbose" flag //! // (i.e. 'myprog -v -v -v' or 'myprog -vvv' vs 'myprog -v' //! match matches.occurrences_of("v") { //! 0 => println!("No verbose info"), //! 1 => println!("Some verbose info"), //! 2 => println!("Tons of verbose info"), //! 3 | _ => println!("Don't be crazy"), //! } //! //! // You can handle information about subcommands by requesting their matches by name //! // (as below), requesting just the name used, or both at the same time //! if let Some(matches) = matches.subcommand_matches("test") { //! if matches.is_present("debug") { //! println!("Printing debug info..."); //! } else { //! println!("Printing normally..."); //! } //! } //! //! // more program logic goes here... //! } //! ``` //! //! The next example shows a far less verbose method, but sacrifices some of the advanced //! configuration options (not shown in this small example). This method also takes a *very* minor //! runtime penalty. //! //! ```no_run //! // (Full example with detailed comments in examples/01a_quick_example.rs) //! // //! // This example demonstrates clap's "usage strings" method of creating arguments //! // which is less verbose //! use clap::{Arg, App, }; //! //! fn main() { //! let matches = App::new("myapp") //! .version("1.0") //! .author("Kevin K. ") //! .about("Does awesome things") //! .arg("-c, --config=[FILE] 'Sets a custom config file'") //! .arg(" 'Sets the input file to use'") //! .arg("-v... 'Sets the level of verbosity'") //! .subcommand(App::new("test") //! .about("controls testing features") //! .version("1.3") //! .author("Someone E. ") //! .arg("-d, --debug 'Print debug information'")) //! .get_matches(); //! //! // Same as previous example... //! } //! ``` //! //! This third method shows how you can use a YAML file to build your CLI and keep your Rust source //! tidy or support multiple localized translations by having different YAML files for each //! localization. //! //! First, create the `cli.yml` file to hold your CLI options, but it could be called anything we //! like: //! //! ```yaml //! name: myapp //! version: "1.0" //! author: Kevin K. //! about: Does awesome things //! args: //! - config: //! short: c //! long: config //! value_name: FILE //! help: Sets a custom config file //! takes_value: true //! - INPUT: //! help: Sets the input file to use //! required: true //! index: 1 //! - verbose: //! short: v //! multiple: true //! help: Sets the level of verbosity //! subcommands: //! - test: //! about: controls testing features //! version: "1.3" //! author: Someone E. //! args: //! - debug: //! short: d //! help: print debug information //! ``` //! //! Since this feature requires additional dependencies that not everyone may want, it is *not* //! compiled in by default and we need to enable a feature flag in Cargo.toml: //! //! Simply change your `clap = "~2.27.0"` to `clap = {version = "~2.27.0", features = ["yaml"]}`. //! //! At last we create our `main.rs` file just like we would have with the previous two examples: //! //! ```ignore //! // (Full example with detailed comments in examples/17_yaml.rs) //! // //! // This example demonstrates clap's building from YAML style of creating arguments which is far //! // more clean, but takes a very small performance hit compared to the other two methods. //! #[macro_use] //! use clap::App; //! //! fn main() { //! // The YAML file is found relative to the current file, similar to how modules are found //! let yaml = load_yaml!("cli.yml"); //! let matches = App::from_yaml(yaml).get_matches(); //! //! // Same as previous examples... //! } //! ``` //! //! Finally there is a macro version, which is like a hybrid approach offering the speed of the //! builder pattern (the first example), but without all the verbosity. //! //! ```no_run //! use clap::clap_app; //! fn main() { //! let matches = clap_app!(myapp => //! (version: "1.0") //! (author: "Kevin K. ") //! (about: "Does awesome things") //! (@arg CONFIG: -c --config +takes_value "Sets a custom config file") //! (@arg INPUT: +required "Sets the input file to use") //! (@arg debug: -d ... "Sets the level of debugging information") //! (@subcommand test => //! (about: "controls testing features") //! (version: "1.3") //! (author: "Someone E. ") //! (@arg verbose: -v --verbose "Print test information verbosely") //! ) //! ).get_matches(); //! //! // Same as before... //! } //! ``` //! //! If you were to compile any of the above programs and run them with the flag `--help` or `-h` (or //! `help` subcommand, since we defined `test` as a subcommand) the following would be output //! //! ```text //! $ myprog --help //! My Super Program 1.0 //! Kevin K. //! Does awesome things //! //! USAGE: //! MyApp [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND] //! //! FLAGS: //! -h, --help Prints this message //! -v Sets the level of verbosity //! -V, --version Prints version information //! //! OPTIONS: //! -c, --config Sets a custom config file //! //! ARGS: //! INPUT The input file to use //! //! SUBCOMMANDS: //! help Prints this message //! test Controls testing features //! ``` //! //! **NOTE:** You could also run `myapp test --help` to see similar output and options for the //! `test` subcommand. //! //! ## Try it! //! //! ### Pre-Built Test //! //! To try out the pre-built example, use the following steps: //! //! * Clone the repository `$ git clone https://github.com/kbknapp/clap-rs && cd clap-rs/tests` //! * Compile the example `$ cargo build --release` //! * Run the help info `$ ./target/release/claptests --help` //! * Play with the arguments! //! //! ### BYOB (Build Your Own Binary) //! //! To test out `clap`'s default auto-generated help/version follow these steps: //! //! * Create a new cargo project `$ cargo new fake --bin && cd fake` //! * Add `clap` to your `Cargo.toml` //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! clap = "2" //! ``` //! //! * Add the following to your `src/main.rs` //! //! ```no_run //! use clap::App; //! //! fn main() { //! App::new("fake").version("v1.0-beta").get_matches(); //! } //! ``` //! //! * Build your program `$ cargo build --release` //! * Run with help or version `$ ./target/release/fake --help` or `$ ./target/release/fake //! --version` //! //! ## Usage //! //! For full usage, add `clap` as a dependency in your `Cargo.toml` (it is **highly** recommended to //! use the `~major.minor.patch` style versions in your `Cargo.toml`, for more information see //! [Compatibility Policy](#compatibility-policy)) to use from crates.io: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! clap = "~2.27.0" //! ``` //! //! Or get the latest changes from the master branch at github: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies.clap] //! git = "https://github.com/kbknapp/clap-rs.git" //! ``` //! //! Define a list of valid arguments for your program (see the //! [documentation](https://docs.rs/clap/) or [examples/] directory of this repo) //! //! Then run `cargo build` or `cargo update && cargo build` for your project. //! //! ### Optional Dependencies / Features //! //! #### Features enabled by default //! //! * `suggestions`: Turns on the `Did you mean '--myoption'?` feature for when users make typos. (builds dependency `strsim`) //! * `color`: Turns on colored error messages. This feature only works on non-Windows OSs. (builds dependency `ansi-term` and `atty`) //! * `wrap_help`: Wraps the help at the actual terminal width when //! available, instead of 120 chracters. (builds dependency `textwrap` //! with feature `term_size`) //! //! To disable these, add this to your `Cargo.toml`: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies.clap] //! version = "~2.27.0" //! default-features = false //! ``` //! //! You can also selectively enable only the features you'd like to include, by adding: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies.clap] //! version = "~2.27.0" //! default-features = false //! //! # Cherry-pick the features you'd like to use //! features = [ "suggestions", "color" ] //! ``` //! //! #### Opt-in features //! //! * **"yaml"**: Enables building CLIs from YAML documents. (builds dependency `yaml-rust`) //! * **"unstable"**: Enables unstable `clap` features that may change from release to release //! //! ### Dependencies Tree //! //! The following graphic depicts `clap`s dependency graph (generated using //! [cargo-graph](https://github.com/kbknapp/cargo-graph)). //! //! * **Dashed** Line: Optional dependency //! * **Red** Color: **NOT** included by default (must use cargo `features` to enable) //! * **Blue** Color: Dev dependency, only used while developing. //! //! ![clap dependencies](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kbknapp/clap-rs/master/clap_dep_graph.png) //! //! ### More Information //! //! You can find complete documentation on the [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/clap/) for this project. //! //! You can also find usage examples in the [examples/] directory of this repo. //! //! #### Video Tutorials //! //! There's also the video tutorial series [Argument Parsing with Rust v2][video tutorials]. //! //! These videos slowly trickle out as I finish them and currently a work in progress. //! //! ## How to Contribute //! //! Please read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clap-rs/clap/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) before you start contributing. //! //! ### Goals //! //! There are a few goals of `clap` that I'd like to maintain throughout contributions. If your //! proposed changes break, or go against any of these goals we'll discuss the changes further //! before merging (but will *not* be ignored, all contributes are welcome!). These are by no means //! hard-and-fast rules, as I'm no expert and break them myself from time to time (even if by //! mistake or ignorance). //! //! * Remain backwards compatible when possible //! - If backwards compatibility *must* be broken, use deprecation warnings if at all possible before //! removing legacy code - This does not apply for security concerns //! * Parse arguments quickly //! - Parsing of arguments shouldn't slow down usage of the main program - This is also true of //! generating help and usage information (although *slightly* less stringent, as the program is about //! to exit) //! * Try to be cognizant of memory usage //! - Once parsing is complete, the memory footprint of `clap` should be low since the main program //! is the star of the show //! * `panic!` on *developer* error, exit gracefully on *end-user* error //! //! ### Compatibility Policy //! //! Because `clap` takes `SemVer` and compatibility seriously, this is the official policy regarding //! breaking changes and previous versions of Rust. //! //! `clap` will pin the minimum required version of Rust to the CI builds. Bumping the minimum //! version of Rust is considered a minor breaking change, meaning *at a minimum* the minor version //! of `clap` will be bumped. //! //! In order to keep from being suprised of breaking changes, it is **highly** recommended to use //! the `~major.minor.patch` style in your `Cargo.toml`: //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies] clap = "~2.27.0" //! ``` //! //! This will cause *only* the patch version to be updated upon a `cargo update` call, and therefore //! cannot break due to new features, or bumped minimum versions of Rust. //! //! #### Minimum Version of Rust //! //! `clap` will officially support current stable Rust, minus two releases, but may work with prior //! releases as well. For example, current stable Rust at the time of this writing is 1.21.0, //! meaning `clap` is guaranteed to compile with 1.19.0 and beyond. At the 1.22.0 release, `clap` //! will be guaranteed to compile with 1.20.0 and beyond, etc. //! //! Upon bumping the minimum version of Rust (assuming it's within the stable-2 range), it *must* be //! clearly annotated in the `CHANGELOG.md` //! //! ## License //! //! `clap` is licensed under the MIT license.
