Flags

There is simple support for defining flags for a command. You can specify either a boolean or string flag.
Flags are defined using the following format: flagName||defaultValue||description

Note: if a flag has a default value of true or false it is considered a boolean flag

Sample Configuration

"triggers": [
  {
    "id": "cli",
    "ref": "#cli",
    "name": "simple",
    "description": "Simple CLI Utility",
    "settings": {
      "singleCmd": true
    },
    "handlers": [

        "name": "commandName",
        "settings": {

          "input": {
            "flags": "=$.flags",
            "args": "=$.args"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
]  

Note: Each CLI command maps to a handler, so in order to set your command a name, you must set the name of the handler.
