| 14 Description: A Python implementation of the Google commandline flags module |
| 15 . |
| 16 GFlags defines a *distributed* command line system, replacing systems like |
| 17 getopt(), optparse and manual argument processing. Rather than an application |
| 18 having to define all flags in or near main(), each Python module defines flags |
| 19 that are useful to it. When one Python module imports another, it gains |
| 20 access to the other's flags. |
| 21 . |
| 22 It includes the ability to define flag types (boolean, float, interger, list), |
| 23 autogeneration of help (in both human and machine readable format) and reading |
| 24 arguments from a file. It also includes the ability to automatically generate |
| 25 man pages from the help flags. |
