ArgParse

A simple argument parsing library for Golang

Getting Started

To begin, import the argparse library

import "github.com/Ar1ste1a/ArgParse"

Next, create a new argparse object with the following information:

• Program Name
• Program Description
• Program Details (Typically Version Information)

This will allow argparse to dynamically generate a help banner for your convenience

parser := argparse.NewParser("Program name", "Program Description", "Program Details")

Next, add your argument(s) to the argparse object. Argparse can currently interpret the following primitive and composite data types using the accompanied string value. Argparse utilizes casting and interfaces to provide each stored value as it was originally intended to the users program.

• Ints (integer)
• Strings (string)
• Booleans (bool)
• IP Address (ipaddress)
• CIDR Network (cidrrange)

# Adds the flag "cidr" to the argparse object allowing for the parameters "-c" and "--cidr".
# Stores the object as a CIDR Network with the default value of "192.168.0.0/16"
# Adds the argument as a required parameter
parser.AddArg("-c", "--cidr", "cidr range to scan", "cidrrange", "192.168.0.0/16", true)

Parse the arguments passed to the program

parser.Parse()

You can now access any parameters passed by the user by using "Get"

cidr := parser.Get("cidr").(*net.IPNet)

Todo:

1. Add dependencies based on other parameters
