cfgFlags

README

cfg_flags

Go package to use an INI configuration file alongside the "flag" package.

Inspired by iniflags, cfg_flags goal is to be simple, without any advanced features like configuration reloading. It is only meant to integrate an INI file with golang's flag package, nothing more.

Usage

Just replace flag.Parse() by cfg_flags.Parse() in your code. cfg_flags.Parse() will return any error that occurs while parsing the configuration file, it is up to you to handle them.

Code sample:

if err := cfg_flags.Parse(); err != nil {
    flag.Usage()
    log.Fatal(err)
}

In order to specify the configuration file to use, you need to set the -config flag, e.g. my_app -config my_config.ini.
