+# StructOpt [![Build status](https://travis-ci.org/TeXitoi/structopt.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/TeXitoi/structopt) [![](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/structopt.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/structopt) [![](https://docs.rs/structopt/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/structopt)
+
+Parse command line arguments by defining a struct. It combines [clap](https://crates.io/crates/clap) with custom derive.
+
+## Documentation
+
+Find it on [Docs.rs](https://docs.rs/structopt). You can also check the [examples](https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/tree/master/examples) and the [changelog](https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
+
+## Example
+
+Add `structopt` to your dependencies of your `Cargo.toml`:
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+structopt = "0.3"
+```
+
+And then, in your rust file:
+```rust
+use std::path::PathBuf;
+use structopt::StructOpt;
+
+/// A basic example
+#[derive(StructOpt, Debug)]
+#[structopt(name = "basic")]
+struct Opt {
+ // A flag, true if used in the command line. Note doc comment will
+ // be used for the help message of the flag. The name of the
+ // argument will be, by default, based on the name of the field.
+ /// Activate debug mode
+ #[structopt(short, long)]
+ debug: bool,
+
+ // The number of occurrences of the `v/verbose` flag
+ /// Verbose mode (-v, -vv, -vvv, etc.)
+ #[structopt(short, long, parse(from_occurrences))]
+ verbose: u8,
+
+ /// Set speed
+ #[structopt(short, long, default_value = "42")]
+ speed: f64,
+
+ /// Output file
+ #[structopt(short, long, parse(from_os_str))]
+ output: PathBuf,
+
+ // the long option will be translated by default to kebab case,
+ // i.e. `--nb-cars`.
+ /// Number of cars
+ #[structopt(short = "c", long)]
+ nb_cars: Option<i32>,
+
+ /// admin_level to consider
+ #[structopt(short, long)]
+ level: Vec<String>,
+
+ /// Files to process
+ #[structopt(name = "FILE", parse(from_os_str))]
+ files: Vec<PathBuf>,
+}
+
+fn main() {
+ let opt = Opt::from_args();
+ println!("{:#?}", opt);
+}
+```
+
+Using this example:
+```
+$ ./basic
+error: The following required arguments were not provided:
+ --output <output>
+
+USAGE:
+ basic --output <output> --speed <speed>
+
+For more information try --help
+$ ./basic --help
+basic 0.3.0
+Guillaume Pinot <texitoi@texitoi.eu>, others
+A basic example
+
+USAGE:
+ basic [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --output <output> [--] [file]...
+
+FLAGS:
+ -d, --debug Activate debug mode
+ -h, --help Prints help information
+ -V, --version Prints version information
+ -v, --verbose Verbose mode (-v, -vv, -vvv, etc.)
+
+OPTIONS:
+ -l, --level <level>... admin_level to consider
+ -c, --nb-cars <nb-cars> Number of cars
+ -o, --output <output> Output file
+ -s, --speed <speed> Set speed [default: 42]
+
+ARGS:
+ <file>... Files to process
+$ ./basic -o foo.txt
+Opt {
+ debug: false,
+ verbose: 0,
+ speed: 42.0,
+ output: "foo.txt",
+ nb_cars: None,
+ level: [],
+ files: [],
+}
+$ ./basic -o foo.txt -dvvvs 1337 -l alice -l bob --nb-cars 4 bar.txt baz.txt
+Opt {
+ debug: true,
+ verbose: 3,
+ speed: 1337.0,
+ output: "foo.txt",
+ nb_cars: Some(
+ 4,
+ ),
+ level: [
+ "alice",
+ "bob",
+ ],
+ files: [
+ "bar.txt",
+ "baz.txt",
+ ],
+}
+```

+## StructOpt rustc version policy
+
+- Minimum rustc version modification must be specified in the [changelog](https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) and in the [travis configuration](https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/blob/master/.travis.yml).
+- Contributors can increment minimum rustc version without any justification if the new version is required by the latest version of one of StructOpt's dependencies (`cargo update` will not fail on StructOpt).
+- Contributors can increment minimum rustc version if the library user experience is improved.
