Overview

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.NewApp().Run(os.Args)
}

Of course this application does not do much, so let's make this an actual application: 

func main() {
  app := cli.NewApp()
  app.Name = "greet"
  app.Usage = "say a greeting"
  app.Action = func(c *cli.Context) error {
    println("Greetings")
    return nil
  }

  app.Run(os.Args)
}

Variables

View Source 
var AppHelpTemplate = `` /* 1055-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.

View Source 
var CommandHelpTemplate = `` /* 404-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.

View Source 
var ErrWriter io.Writer = os.Stderr

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 = `` /* 358-byte string literal not displayed */
View Source 
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.

View Source 
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.

	Usage: "show help",
}
