import "github.com/urfave/cli"
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) }
app.go args.go category.go cli.go command.go context.go docs.go errors.go fish.go flag.go flag_bool.go flag_duration.go flag_float64.go flag_float64_slice.go flag_generic.go flag_int.go flag_int64.go flag_int64_slice.go flag_int_slice.go flag_path.go flag_string.go flag_string_slice.go flag_uint.go flag_uint64.go funcs.go help.go parse.go sort.go template.go
var AppHelpTemplate = "" /* 1056 byte string literal not displayed */
AppHelpTemplate is the text template for the Default help topic. cli.go uses text/template to render templates. You can render custom help text by setting this variable.
var CommandHelpTemplate = "" /* 406 byte string literal not displayed */
CommandHelpTemplate is the text template for the command help topic. cli.go uses text/template to render templates. You can render custom help text by setting this variable.
ErrWriter is used to write errors to the user. This can be anything implementing the io.Writer interface and defaults to os.Stderr.
var FishCompletionTemplate = "" /* 360 byte string literal not displayed */
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.
var MarkdownDocTemplate = "" /* 255 byte string literal not displayed */+ "```" + ` {{ range $v := .SynopsisArgs }}{{ $v }}{{ end }}` + "```" + ` {{ end }}{{ if .App.UsageText }} # DESCRIPTION {{ .App.UsageText }} {{ end }} **Usage**: ` + "```" + ` {{ .App.Name }} [GLOBAL OPTIONS] command [COMMAND OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS...] ` + "```" + "" /* 182 byte string literal not displayed */
OsExiter is the function used when the app exits. If not set defaults to os.Exit.
var SubcommandHelpTemplate = "" /* 592 byte string literal not displayed */
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
DefaultAppComplete prints the list of subcommands as the default app completion method
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!
HandleExitCoder checks if the error fulfills the ExitCoder interface, and if so prints the error to stderr (if it is non-empty) and calls OsExiter with the given exit code. If the given error is a MultiError, then this func is called on all members of the Errors slice and calls OsExiter with the last exit code.
ShowAppHelp is an action that displays the help.
ShowAppHelpAndExit - Prints the list of subcommands for the app and exits with exit code.
ShowCommandCompletions prints the custom completions for a given command
ShowCommandHelp prints help for the given command
ShowCommandHelpAndExit - exits with code after showing help
ShowCompletions prints the lists of commands within a given context
ShowSubcommandHelp prints help for the given subcommand
ShowVersion prints the version number of the App
ActionFunc is the action to execute when no subcommands are specified
AfterFunc is an action to execute after any subcommands are run, but after the subcommand has finished it is run even if Action() panics
type App struct { // The name of the program. Defaults to path.Base(os.Args[0]) Name string // Full name of command for help, defaults to Name HelpName string // Description of the program.

App is the main structure of a cli application. It is recommended that an app be created with the cli.NewApp() function
NewApp creates a new cli Application with some reasonable defaults for Name, Usage, Version and Action.
Command returns the named command on App. Returns nil if the command does not exist
Run is the entry point to the cli app. Parses the arguments slice and routes to the proper flag/args combination

RunContext is like Run except it takes a Context that will be passed to its commands and sub-commands. Through this, you can propagate timeouts and cancellation requests
Setup runs initialization code to ensure all data structures are ready for `Run` or inspection prior to `Run`. It is internally called by `Run`, but will return early if setup has already happened.
ToFishCompletion creates a fish completion string for the `*App` The function errors if either parsing or writing of the string fails.
ToMan creates a man page string for the `*App` The function errors if either parsing or writing of the string fails.
ToMarkdown creates a markdown string for the `*App` The function errors if either parsing or writing of the string fails.

MultiError is an error that wraps multiple errors.
OnUsageErrorFunc is executed if an usage error occurs. This is useful for displaying customized usage error messages. This function is able to replace the original error messages. If this function is not set, the "Incorrect usage" is displayed and the execution is interrupted.
