## Description `cli` is a command line option parser, that supports declarative subcommands, each having a separate set of options. See also the `flag` module, for a simpler command line option parser, that supports only options. ## Example ```v module main import os import cli fn main() { mut app := cli.Command{ name: 'example-app' description: 'example-app' execute: fn (cmd cli.Command) ! { println('hello app') return } commands: [ cli.Command{ name: 'sub' alias: 's' execute: fn (cmd cli.Command) ! { println('hello subcommand') return } }, ] } app.setup() app.parse(os.args) } ``` Subcommands can set `alias` to accept a shorter invocation token, for example `example-app s`. ## Help layout `--help` is generated automatically. Beyond `Usage:`, `Flags:` and `Commands:` the output picks up extra sections when the relevant `Command` fields are populated: - **`Inherited flags:`** — flags inherited from any ancestor through `Flag.global`. Renders separately from local flags so a sub-command's own surface stays readable. - **Grouped commands** — set `group` on a sub-command to lift it out of the default `Commands:` block into a section named after the group. The group string is rendered verbatim followed by `:`, so capitalisation is the caller's choice. Sub-commands sharing a group keep their declaration order. - **`Examples:`** — set `examples []string` on a `Command`; each entry becomes one indented line. - **`Learn more:`** — set `learn_more string`; newlines split the block into separate lines. Flag descriptions align with command descriptions, including when a long flag precedes a flag with an abbreviation. Flag declaration order does not change the description column. Sections that have nothing to render are simply omitted, so existing apps see no change unless they opt in by setting these fields. See `examples/cli_groups.v` for a runnable program that exercises all of them. ## Manpage layout `--man` is generated automatically. The manpage mirrors the help layout: local and inherited flags, grouped sub-commands, examples and the `learn_more` text are rendered in their own sections, and sections with nothing to render are omitted.
