goflags

License Go version Release Checks

An extension of the go flag library that adds convenience functions and functionalities like config file, better usage, short and long flag support, custom types for string slices and maps etc.

Features

  • In-built YAML Configuration file support.
  • Better usage instructions
  • Short and long flags support
  • Custom String Slice types with different options (comma-separated,normalized,etc)
  • Custom Map type
  • Flags grouping support (CreateGroup,SetGroup)

Usage

The following types are supported by the goflags library. The <name>P suffix means that the flag supports both a long and a short flag for the option.

Flag Types
Function Description
BoolVar Boolean value with long name
BoolVarP Boolean value with long short name
DurationVar Time Duration value with long name
DurationVarP Time Duration value with long short name
IntVar Integer value with long name
IntVarP Integer value with long short name
PortVar Port value with long name
PortVarP Port value with long short name
RuntimeMapVar Map value with long name
RuntimeMapVarP Map value with long short name
StringSliceVar String Slice value with long name and options
StringSliceVarConfigOnly String Slice value with long name read from config file only
StringSliceVarP String slice value with long short name and options
StringVar String value with long name
StringVarEnv String value with long short name read from environment
StringVarP String value with long short name
Var Custom value with long name implementing flag.Value interface
VarP Custom value with long short name implementing flag.Value interface
EnumVar Enum value with long name
EnumVarP Enum value with long short name
String Slice Options
String Slice Option Tokenization Normalization Description
StringSliceOptions None None Default String Slice
CommaSeparatedStringSliceOptions Comma None Comma-separated string slice
FileCommaSeparatedStringSliceOptions Comma None Comma-separated items from file/cli
NormalizedOriginalStringSliceOptions None Standard List of normalized string slice
FileNormalizedStringSliceOptions Comma Standard List of normalized string slice from file/cli

Example

An example showing various options of the library is specified below.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/ExploitSuite/goflags"
)

type options struct {
	silent bool
	inputs goflags.StringSlice
	config string
	values goflags.RuntimeMap
}

const (
	Nil goflags.EnumVariable = iota
	Type1
	Type2
)

func main() {
	enumAllowedTypes := goflags.AllowdTypes{"type1": Type1, "type2": Type2}
	opt := &options{}

	flagSet := goflags.NewFlagSet()
	flagSet.SetDescription("Test program to demonstrate goflags options")

	flagSet.EnumVarP(&options.Type, "enum-type", "et", Nil, "Variable Type (type1/type2)", enumAllowedTypes)
	flagSet.BoolVar(&opt.silent, "silent", true, "show silent output")
	flagSet.StringSliceVarP(&opt.inputs, "inputs", "i", nil, "list of inputs (file,comma-separated)", goflags.FileCommaSeparatedStringSliceOptions)

	// Group example
	flagSet.CreateGroup("config", "Configuration",
		flagSet.StringVar(&opt.config, "config", "", "file to read config from"),
		flagSet.RuntimeMapVar(&opt.values, "values", nil, "key-value runtime values"),
	)
	if err := flagSet.Parse(); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Could not parse flags: %s\n", err)
	}
	if opt.config != "" {
		if err := flagSet.MergeConfigFile(opt.config); err != nil {
			log.Fatalf("Could not merge config file: %s\n", err)
		}
	}
	fmt.Printf("silent: %v inputs: %v config: %v values: %v\n", opt.silent, opt.inputs, opt.config, opt.values)
}

  1. spf13/cobra - For the very nice usage template for the command line.
  2. nmap/nmap - For the service-port mapping and top-ports list.
