Types

type YamlParser

type YamlParser struct {
	ParseAsDefaults bool // override default flags
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

YamlParser is an argument parser for flags package but takes a YAML file instead of a standard INI. This allows it to parse configuration directives in a more complex / hierarhical manner. While the INI file only has two levels, a YAML file can have multiple. And every level can be either a value, a map or a list.

func NewYamlParser

func NewYamlParser(p *flags.Parser) *YamlParser

NewYamlParser creates a new yaml parser for a given flags.Parser.

func (*YamlParser) ParseFile

func (y *YamlParser) ParseFile(filename string) error

ParseFile parses flags from an yaml formatted file. The returned errors can be of the type flags.Error or flags.IniError.
