Option arguments are those that take an additional value, such as "-c value". In clap they support three types of specification, those with short() as "-o some", or those with long() as "--option value" or "--option=value" Options also support a multiple setting, which is discussed in the example below. Let's look at their help: ```bash $ 07_option_args --help MyApp USAGE: 07_option_args[EXE] [OPTIONS] --input [output] ARGS: the output file to use OPTIONS: -c, --config the config file to use -h, --help Print help information -i, --input the input file to use ``` First, we see that `--input` is required: ```bash $ 07_option_args ? failed error: The following required arguments were not provided: --config --input USAGE: 07_option_args[EXE] [OPTIONS] --input [output] For more information try --help ``` But `--input` also requires `--config`: ```bash $ 07_option_args --input input.txt --input another.txt ? failed error: The following required arguments were not provided: --config USAGE: 07_option_args[EXE] [OPTIONS] --input --config [output] For more information try --help ``` Everything works now that we specify both: ```bash $ 07_option_args --input input.txt --input another.txt --config config.toml An input file was specified An input file: input.txt An input file: input.txt An input file: another.txt The "input" argument was used 2 times ``` But we can't mix this with output: ```bash $ 07_option_args --input input.txt --input another.txt --config config.toml output.txt ? failed error: The argument '' cannot be used with '--input ' USAGE: 07_option_args[EXE] --input --input --config For more information try --help ``` That requires passing it in by itself: ```bash $ 07_option_args output.txt The "input" argument was used 0 times ```
