It also compiles on iOS and Linux. The library provides the following functionality: - Management of command-line arguments, - Usage of escape sequences on terminals, e.g. for formatting output on ANSI terminals, and - Reading strings on terminals using a lineread-inspired implementation based on the library Linenoise-Swift, but supporting unicode input, multiple lines, and styled text. - Reading strings on terminals in a secure way hiding user input, e.g. for entering passwords, API keys, etc. Table of contents 1.   Command-line arguments    1.1   Basics    1.2   Programmatic API    1.3   Declarative API 2.   Styled output    2.1   Text style and colors    2.2   Styled string formatting 3.   Reading strings    3.1   Readline    3.2   Secure readline 4.   Requirements 5.   Copyright   Command-line arguments Basics CommandLineKit handles command-line arguments with the following protocol: 1. A new Flags object gets created either for the system-provided command-line arguments or for a custom sequence of arguments. 2. For every flag, a Flag object is being created and registered in the Flags object. 3. Once all flag objects are declared and registered, the command-line gets parsed. After parsing is complete, the fla","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/objecthub","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/objecthub/swift-commandlinekit/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
