A wrapper on go flag library adding some convenience wrappers like better Usage, short and long flags, config file support, etc.

Thanks

1. spf13/cobra - The very nice usage template for the command line.

type FlagSet struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

FlagSet is a list of flags for an application

func New

func New() *FlagSet

New creates a new flagset structure for the application

func (*FlagSet) BoolVar

func (f *FlagSet) BoolVar(field *bool, long string, defaultValue bool, usage string)

BoolVar adds a bool flag with a longname

func (*FlagSet) BoolVarP

func (f *FlagSet) BoolVarP(field *bool, long, short string, defaultValue bool, usage string)

BoolVarP adds a bool flag with a shortname and longname

func (*FlagSet) IntVar
