Expand description

Parse a set of arguments into a user-defined container.

Implementing this trait lets a parent container delegate argument parsing behavior to Self. with:

  • #[command(flatten)] args: ChildArgs: Attribute can only be used with struct fields that impl Args.
  • Variant(ChildArgs): No attribute is used with enum variants that impl Args.

NOTE: Deriving requires the derive feature flag

Required Methods§

source

fn augment_args(cmd: Command) -> Command

Append to Command so it can instantiate Self via FromArgMatches::from_arg_matches_mut

This is used to implement #[command(flatten)]

See also CommandFactory::command.

source

fn augment_args_for_update(cmd: Command) -> Command

Append to Command so it can instantiate self via FromArgMatches::update_from_arg_matches_mut

This is used to implement #[command(flatten)]

See also CommandFactory::command_for_update.

Provided Methods§

source

fn group_id() -> Option<Id>

Report the ArgGroup::id for this set of arguments

Object Safety§

This trait is not object safe.
