package kong

import "github.com/alecthomas/kong"

Package kong aims to support arbitrarily complex command-line structures with as little developer effort as possible.

Here's an example: 

shell rm [-f] [-r] <paths> ...
shell ls [<paths> ...]

This can be represented by the following command-line structure: 

package main

import "github.com/alecthomas/kong"

var CLI struct {
  Rm struct {
    Force     bool `short:"f" help:"Force removal."`
    Recursive bool `short:"r" help:"Recursively remove files."`

    Paths []string `arg help:"Paths to remove." type:"path"`
  } `cmd help:"Remove files."`

  Ls struct {
    Paths []string `arg optional help:"Paths to list." type:"path"`
  } `cmd help:"List paths."`
}

func main() {
  kong.Parse(&CLI)
}

See https://github.com/alecthomas/kong for details.
