func (*Options) Has 

func (opts *Options) Has(name string) bool

Has checks if option with given name exists and set

Example 
opts := NewOptions()

// Add options
opts.AddMap(Map{
	"u:user":  {Type: STRING, Value: "john"},
	"l:lines": {Type: INT, Min: 1, Max: 100},
})

input := "-u bob file.txt"
args, _ := opts.Parse(strings.Split(input, " "))

fmt.Printf("Arguments: %v\n", args)
fmt.Printf("Has user option: %t\n", opts.Has("u:user"))
fmt.Printf("Has lines option: %t\n", opts.Has("l:lines"))

Output:

Arguments: [file.txt]
Has user option: true
Has lines option: false

func (*Options) Is added in v12.47.0 

func (opts *Options) Is(name string, value any) bool

Is checks if option with given name has given value

func (*Options) Parse 

func (opts *Options) Parse(rawOpts []string, optMap ...Map) (Arguments, []error)

Parse parses slice with raw options

Example 
opts := NewOptions()

input := "-u bob -l 12 file.txt"
args, _ := opts.Parse(
	strings.Split(input, " "),
	Map{
		"u:user":  {Type: STRING, Value: "john"},
		"l:lines": {Type: INT, Min: 1, Max: 100},
	},
)

fmt.Printf("Arguments: %v\n", args)
fmt.Printf("User: %s\n", opts.GetS("u:user"))
fmt.Printf("Lines: %d\n", opts.GetI("l:lines"))

Output:

Arguments: [file.txt]
User: bob
Lines: 12

func (*Options) Split added in v12.77.0 

func (opts *Options) Split(name string) []string

Split splits mergeble option to it's values

Example 
opts := NewOptions()

// Add options
opts.AddMap(Map{
	"u:user":  {Mergeble: true},
	"r:ratio": {Type: FLOAT},
})

// Use null-terminated string instead of default whitespace for merge.
// Note that the merge symbol must be set before the parsing options.
MergeSymbol = "\x00"

input := "-u bob -u john -u dave -r 3.14 file.txt"
args, _ := opts.Parse(strings.Split(input, " "))

fmt.Printf("Arguments: %v\n", args)
fmt.Printf("Users: %s\n", opts.Split("u:user"))
fmt.Printf("Ratio: %g\n", opts.GetF("r:ratio"))

Output:

Arguments: [file.txt]
Users: [bob john dave]
Ratio: 3.14

type V 

type V struct {
	Type      int     // option type
	Max       float64 // maximum integer option value
	Min       float64 // minimum integer option value
	Alias     string  // list of aliases
	Conflicts string  // list of conflicts options
	Bound     string  // list of bound options
	Mergeble  bool    // option supports options value merging
	Required  bool    // option is required

	Value any // default value
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

V is basic option struct
