### Combining command line options, environment variables, and default values
You can combine command line arguments, environment variables, and default values. Command line arguments take precedence over environment variables, which take precedence over default values. This means that we check whether a certain option was provided on the command line, then if not, we check for an environment variable (only if an `env` tag was provided), then if none is found, we check for a `default` tag containing a default value.

### Custom handling of --help and --version
The following reproduces the internal logic of `MustParse` for the simple case where
you are not using subcommands or --version. This allows you to respond
programatically to --help, and to any errors that come up.
```go
var args struct {
Something string
}
p, err := arg.NewParser(arg.Config{}, &args)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("there was an error in the definition of the Go struct: %v", err)
}
err = p.Parse(os.Args[1:])
switch {
case err == arg.ErrHelp: // indicates that user wrote "--help" on command line
p.WriteHelp(os.Stdout)
os.Exit(0)
case err != nil:
fmt.Printf("error: %v\n", err)
p.WriteUsage(os.Stdout)
os.Exit(1)
}
```
```shell
$ go run ./example --help
Usage: ./example --something SOMETHING
Options:
--something SOMETHING
--help, -h display this help and exit
$ ./example --wrong
error: unknown argument --wrong
Usage: ./example --something SOMETHING
$ ./example
error: --something is required
Usage: ./example --something SOMETHING
```
To also handle --version programatically, use the following:
```go
type args struct {
Something string
}
func (args) Version() string {
return "1.2.3"
}
func main() {
var args args
p, err := arg.NewParser(arg.Config{}, &args)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("there was an error in the definition of the Go struct: %v", err)
}
err = p.Parse(os.Args[1:])
switch {
case err == arg.ErrHelp: // found "--help" on command line
p.WriteHelp(os.Stdout)
os.Exit(0)
case err == arg.ErrVersion: // found "--version" on command line
fmt.Println(args.Version())
os.Exit(0)
case err != nil:
fmt.Printf("error: %v\n", err)
p.WriteUsage(os.Stdout)
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Printf("got %q\n", args.Something)
}
```
```shell
$ ./example --version
1.2.3
$ go run ./example --help
1.2.3
Usage: example --something SOMETHING
Options:
--something SOMETHING
--help, -h display this help and exit
$ ./example --wrong
1.2.3
error: unknown argument --wrong
Usage: example --something SOMETHING
$ ./example
error: --something is required
Usage: example --something SOMETHING
```
To generate subcommand-specific help messages, use the following most general version
(this also works in absence of subcommands but is a bit more complex):
```go
type fetchCmd struct {
Count int
}
type args struct {
Something string
Fetch *fetchCmd `arg:"subcommand"`
}
func (args) Version() string {
return "1.2.3"
}
func main() {
var args args
p, err := arg.NewParser(arg.Config{}, &args)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("there was an error in the definition of the Go struct: %v", err)
}
err = p.Parse(os.Args[1:])
switch {
case err == arg.ErrHelp: // found "--help" on command line
p.WriteHelpForSubcommand(os.Stdout, p.SubcommandNames()...)
os.Exit(0)
case err == arg.ErrVersion: // found "--version" on command line
fmt.Println(args.Version())
os.Exit(0)
case err != nil:
fmt.Printf("error: %v\n", err)
p.WriteUsageForSubcommand(os.Stdout, p.SubcommandNames()...)
os.Exit(1)
}
}
```
```shell
$ ./example --version
1.2.3
$ ./example --help
1.2.3
Usage: example [--something SOMETHING] <command> [<args>]
Options:
--something SOMETHING
--help, -h display this help and exit
--version display version and exit
Commands:

$ ./example fetch --help

Usage: example fetch [--count COUNT]
Options:

Global options:

https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/alexflint/go-arg
### Rationale
There are many command line argument parsing libraries for Go, including one in the standard library, so why build another?
The `flag` library that ships in the standard library seems awkward to me. Positional arguments must preceed options, so `./prog x --foo=1` does what you expect but `./prog --foo=1 x` does not. It also does not allow arguments to have both long (`--foo`) and short (`-f`) forms.

Many third-party argument parsing libraries are great for writing sophisticated command line interfaces, but feel to me like overkill for a simple script with a few flags.

### Backward compatibility notes
Earlier versions of this library required the help text to be part of the `arg` tag. This is still supported but is now deprecated. Instead, you should use a separate `help` tag, described above, which removes most of the limits on the text you can write. In particular, you will need to use the new `help` tag if your help text includes any commas.
