Constants ¶
const ( BashCompFilenameExt = "cobra_annotation_bash_completion_filename_extensions" BashCompCustom = "cobra_annotation_bash_completion_custom" BashCompOneRequiredFlag = "cobra_annotation_bash_completion_one_required_flag" BashCompSubdirsInDir = "cobra_annotation_bash_completion_subdirs_in_dir" )
Annotations for Bash completion.
const ( // ShellCompRequestCmd is the name of the hidden command that is used to request // completion results from the program. It is used by the shell completion scripts. ShellCompRequestCmd = "__complete" // ShellCompNoDescRequestCmd is the name of the hidden command that is used to request // completion results without their description. It is used by the shell completion scripts. ShellCompNoDescRequestCmd = "__completeNoDesc" )
Variables ¶
var EnableCommandSorting = true
EnableCommandSorting controls sorting of the slice of commands, which is turned on by default. To disable sorting, set it to false.
var EnablePrefixMatching = false
EnablePrefixMatching allows to set automatic prefix matching. Automatic prefix matching can be a dangerous thing to automatically enable in CLI tools. Set this to true to enable it.
MousetrapDisplayDuration controls how long the MousetrapHelpText message is displayed on Windows if the CLI is started from explorer.exe. Set to 0 to wait for the return key to be pressed. To disable the mousetrap, just set MousetrapHelpText to blank string (""). Works only on Microsoft Windows.
var MousetrapHelpText = `This is a command line tool.
You need to open cmd.exe and run it from there.
`
MousetrapHelpText enables an information splash screen on Windows if the CLI is started from explorer.exe. To disable the mousetrap, just set this variable to blank string (""). Works only on Microsoft Windows.

func CompDebugln ¶

Deprecated string // Hidden defines, if this command is hidden and should NOT show up in the list of available commands. Hidden bool // Annotations are key/value pairs that can be used by applications to identify or // group commands. Annotations map[string]string // Version defines the version for this command. If this value is non-empty and the command does not // define a "version" flag, a "version" boolean flag will be added to the command and, if specified, // will print content of the "Version" variable. A shorthand "v" flag will also be added if the // command does not define one. Version string // The *Run functions are executed in the following order: // * PersistentPreRun() // * PreRun() // * Run() // * PostRun() // * PersistentPostRun() // All functions get the same args, the arguments after the command name. // // PersistentPreRun: children of this command will inherit and execute. PersistentPreRun func(cmd *Command, args []string) // PersistentPreRunE: PersistentPreRun but returns an error. PersistentPreRunE func(cmd *Command, args []string) error // PreRun: children of this command will not inherit. PreRun func(cmd *Command, args []string) // PreRunE: PreRun but returns an error. PreRunE func(cmd *Command, args []string) error // Run: Typically the actual work function. Most commands will only implement this. Run func(cmd *Command, args []string) // RunE: Run but returns an error. RunE func(cmd *Command, args []string) error // PostRun: run after the Run command. PostRun func(cmd *Command, args []string) // PostRunE: PostRun but returns an error. PostRunE func(cmd *Command, args []string) error // PersistentPostRun: children of this command will inherit and execute after PostRun. PersistentPostRun func(cmd *Command, args []string) // PersistentPostRunE: PersistentPostRun but returns an error. PersistentPostRunE func(cmd *Command, args []string) error // SilenceErrors is an option to quiet errors down stream. SilenceErrors bool // SilenceUsage is an option to silence usage when an error occurs. SilenceUsage bool // DisableFlagParsing disables the flag parsing. // If this is true all flags will be passed to the command as arguments. DisableFlagParsing bool // DisableAutoGenTag defines, if gen tag ("Auto generated by spf13/cobra...") // will be printed by generating docs for this command. DisableAutoGenTag bool // DisableFlagsInUseLine will disable the addition of [flags] to the usage // line of a command when printing help or generating docs DisableFlagsInUseLine bool // DisableSuggestions disables the suggestions based on Levenshtein distance // that go along with 'unknown command' messages. DisableSuggestions bool // SuggestionsMinimumDistance defines minimum levenshtein distance to display suggestions. // Must be > 0. SuggestionsMinimumDistance int // TraverseChildren parses flags on all parents before executing child command. TraverseChildren bool // FParseErrWhitelist flag parse errors to be ignored FParseErrWhitelist FParseErrWhitelist // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Command is just that, a command for your application. E.g. 'go run ...' - 'run' is the command. Cobra requires you to define the usage and description as part of your command definition to ensure usability.
