final
commands → Map<String, ArgParser>: The commands that have been defined for this parser.
final
options → Map<String, Option>: The options that have been defined for this parser.
final
usage → String: Generates a string displaying usage information for the defined options. [...]
read-only
usageLineLength → int: An optional maximum line length for usage messages. [...]
final
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object.
read-only, inherited
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.

Methods

addCommand(String name, [ ArgParser parser ]) → ArgParser: Defines a command. [...]
addFlag(String name, { String abbr, String help, bool defaultsTo: false, bool negatable: true, void callback(bool value), bool hide: false }) → void: Defines a boolean flag. [...]
addMultiOption(String name, { String abbr, String help, String valueHelp, Iterable<String> allowed, Map<String, String> allowedHelp, Iterable<String> defaultsTo, void callback(List<String> values), bool splitCommas: true, bool hide: false }) → void: Defines an option that takes multiple values. [...]
addOption(String name, { String abbr, String help, String valueHelp, Iterable<String> allowed, Map<String, String> allowedHelp, String defaultsTo, Function callback, bool allowMultiple: false, bool splitCommas, bool hide: false }) → void: Defines an option that takes a value. [...]
addSeparator(String text) → void: Adds a separator line to the usage. [...]
findByAbbreviation(String abbr) → Option: Finds the option whose abbreviation is abbr, or null if no option has that abbreviation.
getDefault(String option) → dynamic: Get the default value for an option. Useful after parsing to test if the user specified something other than the default.
getUsage() → String: Generates a string displaying usage information for the defined options. [...]
@Deprecated("Replaced with get usage. getUsage() will be removed in args 1.0")
parse(Iterable<String> args) → ArgResults: Parses args, a list of command-line arguments, matches them against the flags and options defined by this parser, and returns the result.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic: Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed.
inherited
toString() → String: Returns a string representation of this object.
