If you're using the flags themselves, 30 they are all pointers; if you bind to variables, they're values. 31 fmt.Println("ip has value ", *ip) 32 fmt.Println("flagvar has value ", flagvar) 33 34 After parsing, the arguments following the flags are available as the 35 slice flag.Args() or individually as flag.Arg(i). 36 The arguments are indexed from 0 through flag.NArg()-1. 37 38 Command line flag syntax 39 40 The following forms are permitted: 41 42 -flag 43 -flag=x 44 -flag x // non-boolean flags only 45 One or two minus signs may be used; they are equivalent. 46 The last form is not permitted for boolean flags because the 47 meaning of the command 48 cmd -x * 49 where * is a Unix shell wildcard, will change if there is a file 50 called 0, false, etc. You must use the -flag=false form to turn 51 off a boolean flag. 52 53 Flag parsing stops just before the first non-flag argument 54 ("-" is a non-flag argument) or after the terminator "--". 55 56 Integer flags accept 1234, 0664, 0x1234 and may be negative. 57 Boolean flags may be: 58 1, 0, t, f, T, F, true, false, TRUE, FALSE, True, False 59 Duration flags accept any input valid for time.ParseDuration. 60 61 The default set of command-line flags is controlled by 62 top-level functions. The FlagSet type allows one to define 63 independent sets of flags, such as to implement subcommands 64 in a command-line interface. The methods of FlagSet are 65 analogous to the top-level functions for the command-line 66 flag set. 67 */ 68 package flag 69 70 import ( 71 "errors" 72 "fmt" 73 "io" 74 "os" 75 "reflect" 76 "sort" 77
