This // package also presents a smaller interface than urfave/cli, making it easier // to use for other commands. package cmd import "os" // Command represents a command with many potential top-level commands. This is // transformed into a cli.Command in Run(). type Command struct { Name string UsageLines []string SubCmds []*Command Arguments []*Argument Flags []Flag ManPage *ManEntry Action CommandFunc } // Argument represents a parameter passed to a function. It has an optional // usage explains how it should be used. type Argument struct { ArgName string Usage string } // ManEntry represents an entry in a man page with a name, section, and title. type ManEntry struct { Name string Section int Title string } // CommandFunc contains the implementation of a command. The provided args have // the flags and leading command names removed. If a normal error is returned, // it is printed out (with an optional explanation) and exits with FailureCode. // If a usage error is returned, it is printed out with the command's usage and // exits with UsageFailureCode. Returning nil causes an exit with success. type CommandFunc func(args []string) error // Run executes the command with os.Args, equivalent to c.RunArgs(os.Args). func (c *Command) Run() { c.RunArgs(os.Args) } // RunArgs executes the command with the provided args. If the Name argument is // empty, args[0]'s basename is used instead. If the command fails, this method // will not return. func (c *Command) RunArgs(args []string) { // TODO(joerichey): Implement conversion to cli.Command }
