Customizable usage message / operand specification
Created by: morozov
For a CLI application with fixed set of operands it'd be useful if it was possible to describe them explicitly in "usage" message. I.e. instead of
Usage: copy [options] [operands]
Options:
--overwrite Overwrite existing file
I'd like to have a more meaningful message like
Usage: copy [options] <from> <to> [<optional-operand>]
Options:
--overwrite Overwrite existing file
In fact, this example brings the idea of operands specification alongside with the one for options. Like options, operands may also have names, be mandatory or optional and have default values.
