package cli // import "github.com/urfave/cli/v2"

Package cli provides a minimal framework for creating and organizing command
line Go applications. cli is designed to be easy to understand and write,
the most simple cli application can be written as follows:

    func main() {
      (&cli.App{}).Run(os.Args)
    }

Of course this application does not do much, so let's make this an actual
application:

      func main() {
        app := &cli.App{
    			 Name: "greet",
    			 Usage: "say a greeting",
    			 Action: func(c *cli.Context) error {
    				 fmt.Println("Greetings")
    				 return nil
    			 },
    		 }

        app.Run(os.Args)
      }

    SubcommandHelpTemplate is the text template for the subcommand help topic.
    cli.go uses text/template to render templates. You can render custom help
    text by setting this variable.

var VersionPrinter = printVersion
    VersionPrinter prints the version for the App

var HelpPrinter helpPrinter = printHelp
    HelpPrinter is a function that writes the help output. If not set
    explicitly, this calls HelpPrinterCustom using only the default template
    functions.

    If custom logic for printing help is required, this function can be
    overridden. If the ExtraInfo field is defined on an App, this function
    should not be modified, as HelpPrinterCustom will be used directly in order
    to capture the extra information.

var HelpPrinterCustom helpPrinterCustom = printHelpCustom
    HelpPrinterCustom is a function that writes the help output. It is used as
    the default implementation of HelpPrinter, and may be called directly if the
    ExtraInfo field is set on an App.

    In the default implementation, if the customFuncs argument contains a
    "wrapAt" key, which is a function which takes no arguments and returns an
    int, this int value will be used to produce a "wrap" function used by the
    default template to wrap long lines.


FUNCTIONS

func DefaultAppComplete(cCtx *Context)
    DefaultAppComplete prints the list of subcommands as the default app
    completion method

func DefaultCompleteWithFlags(cmd *Command) func(cCtx *Context)
func FlagNames(name string, aliases []string) []string
func HandleAction(action interface{}, cCtx *Context) (err error)
    HandleAction attempts to figure out which Action signature was used.
    If it's an ActionFunc or a func with the legacy signature for Action,
    the func is run!

func HandleExitCoder(err error)
    HandleExitCoder handles errors implementing ExitCoder by printing their
    message and calling OsExiter with the given exit code.

    If the given error instead implements MultiError, each error will be checked
    for the ExitCoder interface, and OsExiter will be called with the last exit
    code found, or exit code 1 if no ExitCoder is found.

    This function is the default error-handling behavior for an App.

func ShowAppHelp(cCtx *Context) error
    ShowAppHelp is an action that displays the help.

func ShowAppHelpAndExit(c *Context, exitCode int)
    ShowAppHelpAndExit - Prints the list of subcommands for the app and exits
    with exit code.

func ShowCommandCompletions(ctx *Context, command string)
    ShowCommandCompletions prints the custom completions for a given command

func ShowCommandHelp(ctx *Context, command string) error

    ShowCommandHelpAndExit - exits with code after showing help

func ShowCompletions(cCtx *Context)
    ShowCompletions prints the lists of commands within a given context

func ShowSubcommandHelp(cCtx *Context) error
    ShowSubcommandHelp prints help for the given subcommand

}
    ExitCoder is the interface checked by `App` and `Command` for a custom exit
    code

func Exit(message interface{}, exitCode int) ExitCoder
    Exit wraps a message and exit code into an error, which by default is
    handled with a call to os.Exit during default error handling.

    This is the simplest way to trigger a non-zero exit code for an App
    without having to call os.Exit manually. During testing, this behavior
    can be avoided by overiding the ExitErrHandler function on an App or the
    package-global OsExiter function.

func NewExitError(message interface{}, exitCode int) ExitCoder
    NewExitError calls Exit to create a new ExitCoder.

    Deprecated: This function is a duplicate of Exit and will eventually be
    removed.

    disable the flag. The subcommand will still be added unless HideHelp or
    HideHelpCommand is set to true.

var VersionFlag Flag = &BoolFlag{
	Name:    "version",
	Aliases: []string{"v"},
	Usage:   "print the version",

    message flag prefix. This is used by the default FlagStringer.

    expected to be a single line.
