In reviewing CLIs for #4132, I found some were providing helps on `-h` vs `--help` and figured that could be built directly into clap. I had considered not making this hint automatic but I figured the overhead of checking if long exists wouldn't be too bad. The code exists (no binary size increase) and just a simple iteration is probably not too slow compared to everything else. Fixes #1015 |

clap_mangen
Manpage generation for
clap
Dual-licensed under Apache 2.0 or MIT.
About
Generate ROFF from a clap::Command.
Example
We're going to assume you want to generate your man page as part of your development rather than your shipped program having a flag to generate it.
In your Cargo.toml:
[build-dependencies]
clap_mangen = "0.1"
In your build.rs:
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
let out_dir = std::path::PathBuf::from(std::env::var_os("OUT_DIR").ok_or_else(|| std::io::ErrorKind::NotFound)?);
let cmd = clap::Command::new("mybin")
.arg(clap::arg!(-n --name <NAME>))
.arg(clap::arg!(-c --count <NUM>));
let man = clap_mangen::Man::new(cmd);
let mut buffer: Vec<u8> = Default::default();
man.render(&mut buffer)?;
std::fs::write(out_dir.join("mybin.1"), buffer)?;
Ok(())
}
Tip: Consider a cargo xtask instead of a build.rs to reduce build costs.
