Usage

A basic app

See [basic](examples/basic/main.go) for full code.

            Settings bool `settings:"true" allow-unknown-arg:"true"`
        } `command:"echo" description:"Print arguments"`
        Math struct {
            Sqrt struct {
                Number float64 `short:"n" long:"number" required:"true" description:"Number"`
            } `command:"sqrt" description:"Calculate square root"`
            Pow struct {
                Base     float64 `short:"b" long:"base" required:"true" description:"Base"`
                Exponent float64 `short:"e" long:"exponent" required:"true" description:"Exponent"`
            } `command:"pow" description:"Calculate base exponential"`
        } `command:"math" description:"Math functions" nonempty:"true"`
    }{}

    // Echo command
    gocmd.HandleFlag("Echo", func(cmd *gocmd.Cmd, args []string) error {
        fmt.Printf("%s\n", strings.Join(cmd.FlagArgs("Echo")[1:], " "))
        return nil
    })

    // Math commands
    gocmd.HandleFlag("Math.Sqrt", func(cmd *gocmd.Cmd, args []string) error {
        fmt.Println(math.Sqrt(flags.Math.Sqrt.Number))
