Overview

Package stringmapflag provides a flag.Value that, when parsed, augments a map[string]string with the supplied parameter. The parameter is expressed as a key[=value] option.

Example

Assuming the flag option, "opt", is bound to a stringmapflag.Value, and the following arguments are parsed:

-opt foo=bar
-opt baz

The resulting map would be equivalent to: map[string]string {"foo": "bar", "baz": ""}

Example

v := new(Value) fs := flag.NewFlagSet("test", flag.ContinueOnError) fs.Var(v, "option", "Appends a key[=value] option.") // Simulate user input. if err := fs.Parse([]string{ "-option", "foo=bar", "-option", "baz", }); err != nil { panic(err) } m, _ := json.MarshalIndent(v, "", " ") fmt.Println("Parsed options:", string(m))

Output:

Parsed options: {
  "baz": "",
  "foo": "bar"
}
