addFlag(String name, {String? abbr, String? help, bool? defaultsTo = false, bool negatable = true, void callback(bool)?, bool hide = false, List<String> aliases = const []}) → 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>)?, bool splitCommas = true, bool hide = false, List<String> aliases = const []}) → 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, void callback(String?)?, bool mandatory = false, bool hide = false, List<String> aliases = const []}) → void
