flags improvements

[dcaba]

I think we can improve how we recover arguments:

• first, we can take advantage of the init function for this, as this example:
  https://stackoverflow.com/a/19762274
• But, as a final goal, I'd replace the flags library by something a bit more "serious":
  https://github.com/ogier/pflag

As, I think a milestone for this project, is to create debian/rpm packages and a docker image, and allow users to use this tool as any other you may have in your OS, and the default flags in golang are not posix compliant plus they dont support "short letters"...

dismissing creating flags in the init function. This requires all vars to become global (not nice)

https://github.com/spf13/pflag ; previous reference is no longer maintained (it actually does not work well)

I would assume this issue is fully addressed by the Merged PR, isn't it?

[dcaba]

Yup, unless you find something else to improve on this... Maybe we should create one to generate the proper documentation / man page?

Oggh, I found this one:

Quite better! I'd vote for switching to it!! See this:

Simple but effective ;)

I like it! it has methods that simplifies a lot the code after parsing.

releasing ownership. I'm working in the closure logic (next steps on this become orphan, but i can pick in the future)
