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.App{}).Run(os.Args) }
Of course this application does not do much, so let's make this an actual application:
func main() { app := &cli.App{ Name: "greet", Usage: "say a greeting", Action: func(c *cli.Context) error { fmt.Println("Greetings") return nil }, } app.Run(os.Args) }

Variables ¶
var AppHelpTemplate = `` /* 1054-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.
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.
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 */
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.
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.
var MarkdownDocTemplate = `% {{ .App.Name }} 8

{{ .App.Name }}{{ if .App.Usage }} - {{ .App.Usage }}{{ end }}
# SYNOPSIS
{{ .App.Name }}
{{ if .SynopsisArgs }}
` + "```" + `
{{ range $v := .SynopsisArgs }}{{ $v }}{{ end }}` + "```" + `
{{ end }}{{ if .App.UsageText }}
# DESCRIPTION

var OsExiter = os.Exit
OsExiter is the function used when the app exits. If not set defaults to os.Exit.
var SubcommandHelpTemplate = `` /* 600-byte string literal not displayed */
SubcommandHelpTemplate is the text template for the subcommand help topic. cli.go uses text/template to render templates. You can render custom help text by setting this variable.
var VersionPrinter = printVersion

Functions ¶
func DefaultAppComplete ¶
func DefaultAppComplete(c *Context)
DefaultAppComplete prints the list of subcommands as the default app completion method

func HandleExitCoder ¶
func HandleExitCoder(err error)
HandleExitCoder handles errors implementing ExitCoder by printing their message and calling OsExiter with the given exit code.
If the given error instead implements MultiError, each error will be checked for the ExitCoder interface, and OsExiter will be called with the last exit code found, or exit code 1 if no ExitCoder is found.
This function is the default error-handling behavior for an App.
