+//! This crate defines the `StructOpt` trait and its custom derive.
+//!
+//! ## Features
+//!
+//! If you want to disable all the `clap` features (colors,
+//! suggestions, ..) add `default-features = false` to the `structopt`
+//! dependency:
+//!
+//! ```toml
+//! [dependencies]
+//! structopt = { version = "0.3", default-features = false }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Support for [`paw`](https://github.com/rust-cli/paw) (the
+//! `Command line argument paw-rser abstraction for main`) is disabled
+//! by default, but can be enabled in the `structopt` dependency
+//! with the feature `paw`:
+//!
+//! ```toml
+//! [dependencies]
+//! structopt = { version = "0.3", features = [ "paw" ] }
+//! paw = "1.0"
+//! ```

+//!
+//! ## How to `derive(StructOpt)`
+//!
+//! First, let's look at the example:
+//!
+//! ```should_panic
+//! use std::path::PathBuf;
+//! use structopt::StructOpt;
+//!
+//! #[derive(Debug, StructOpt)]
+//! #[structopt(name = "example", about = "An example of StructOpt usage.")]
+//! struct Opt {
+//! /// Activate debug mode
+//! // short and long flags (-d, --debug) will be deduced from the field's name
+//! #[structopt(short, long)]
+//! debug: bool,
+//!
+//! /// Set speed
+//! // we don't want to name it "speed", need to look smart
+//! #[structopt(short = "v", long = "velocity", default_value = "42")]
+//! speed: f64,
+//!
+//! /// Input file
+//! #[structopt(parse(from_os_str))]
+//! input: PathBuf,
+//!
+//! /// Output file, stdout if not present
+//! #[structopt(parse(from_os_str))]
+//! output: Option<PathBuf>,
+//!
+//! /// Where to write the output: to `stdout` or `file`
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! out_type: String,
+//!
+//! /// File name: only required when `out` is set to `file`
+//! #[structopt(name = "FILE", required_if("out_type", "file"))]
+//! file_name: String,
+//! }
+//!
+//! fn main() {
+//! let opt = Opt::from_args();
+//! println!("{:?}", opt);
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! So `derive(StructOpt)` tells Rust to generate a command line parser,
+//! and the various `structopt` attributes are simply
+//! used for additional parameters.
+//!
+//! First, define a struct, whatever its name. This structure
+//! corresponds to a `clap::App`, its fields correspond to `clap::Arg`
+//! (unless they're [subcommands](#subcommands)),
+//! and you can adjust these apps and args by `#[structopt(...)]` [attributes](#attributes).
+//!
+//! **Note:**
+//! _________________
+//! Keep in mind that `StructOpt` trait is more than just `from_args` method.
+//! It has a number of additional features, including access to underlying
+//! `clap::App` via `StructOpt::clap()`. See the
+//! [trait's reference documentation](trait.StructOpt.html).
+//! _________________
+//!
+//! ## Attributes
+//!
+//! `#[structopt(...)]` attributes fall into two categories:
+//! - `structopt`'s own [magical methods](#magical-methods).
+//!
+//! They are used by `structopt` itself. They come mostly in
+//! `attr = ["whatever"]` form, but some `attr(args...)` also exist.
+//!
+//! - [`raw` attributes](#raw-methods).
+//!
+//! They represent explicit `clap::Arg/App` method calls.
+//! They are what used to be explicit `#[structopt(raw(...))]` attrs in pre-0.3 `structopt`
+//!
+//! Every `structopt attribute` looks like comma-separated sequence of methods:
+//! ```rust,ignore
+//! #[structopt(
+//! short, // method with no arguments - always magical
+//! long = "--long-option", // method with one argument
+//! required_if("out", "file"), // method with one and more args
+//! parse(from_os_str = path::to::parser) // some magical methods have their own syntax
+//! )]
+//! ```
+//!
+//! `#[structopt(...)]` attributes can be placed on top of `struct`, `enum`,
+//! `struct` field or `enum` variant. Attributes on top of `struct` or `enum`
+//! represent `clap::App` method calls, field or variant attributes correspond
+//! to `clap::Arg` method calls.
+//!
+//! In other words, the `Opt` struct from the example above
+//! will be turned into this (*details omitted*):
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::clap::{Arg, App};
+//! App::new("example")
+//! .version("0.2.0")
+//! .about("An example of StructOpt usage.")
+//! .arg(Arg::with_name("debug")
+//! .help("Activate debug mode")
+//! .short("debug")
+//! .long("debug"))
+//! .arg(Arg::with_name("speed")
+//! .help("Set speed")
+//! .short("v")
+//! .long("velocity")
+//! .default_value("42"))
+//! // and so on
+//! # ;
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Raw methods
+//!
+//! They are the reason why `structopt` is so flexible.
+//!
+//! Each and every method from `clap::App` and `clap::Arg` can be used directly -
+//! just `#[structopt(method_name = single_arg)]` or `#[structopt(method_name(arg1, arg2))]`
+//! and it just works. As long as `method_name` is not one of the magical methods -
+//! it's just a method call.
+//!
+//! **Note:**
+//! _________________
+//!
+//! "Raw methods" are direct replacement for pre-0.3 structopt's
+//! `#[structopt(raw(...))]` attributes, any time you would have used a `raw()` attribute
+//! in 0.2 you should use raw method in 0.3.
+//!
+//! Unfortunately, old raw attributes collide with `clap::Arg::raw` method. To explicitly
+//! warn users of this change we allow `#[structopt(raw())]` only with `true` or `false`
+//! literals (this method is supposed to be called only with `true` anyway).
+//! __________________
+//!
+//! ## Magical methods
+//!
+//! They are the reason why `structopt` is so easy to use and convenient in most cases.
+//! Many of them have defaults, some of them get used even if not mentioned.
+//!
+//! Methods may be used on "top level" (on top of a `struct`, `enum` or `enum` variant)
+//! and/or on "field-level" (on top of a `struct` field or *inside* of an enum variant).
+//! Top level (non-magical) methods correspond to `App::method` calls, field-level methods
+//! are `Arg::method` calls.
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! #[structopt(top_level)]
+//! struct Foo {
+//! #[structopt(field_level)]
+//! field: u32
+//! }
+//!
+//! #[structopt(top_level)]
+//! enum Bar {
+//! #[structopt(top_level)]
+//! Pineapple {
+//! #[structopt(field_level)]
+//! chocolate: String
+//! },
+//!
+//! #[structopt(top_level)]
+//! Orange,
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! - `name`: `[name = "name"]`
+//! - On top level: `App::new("name")`.
+//!
+//! The binary name displayed in help messages. Defaults to the crate name given by Cargo.
+//!
+//! - On field-level: `Arg::with_name("name")`.
+//!
+//! The name for the argument the field stands for, this name appears in help messages.
+//! Defaults to a name, deduced from a field, see also
+//! [`rename_all`](#specifying-argument-types).
+//!
+//! - `version`: `[version = "version"]`
+//!
+//! Usable only on top level: `App::version("version" or env!(CARGO_PKG_VERSION))`.
+//!
+//! The version displayed in help messages.
+//! Defaults to the crate version given by Cargo. If `CARGO_PKG_VERSION` is not
+//! set no `.version()` calls will be generated unless requested.
+//!
+//! - `no_version`: `no_version`
+//!
+//! Usable only on top level. Prevents default `App::version` call, i.e
+//! when no `version = "version"` mentioned.
+//!
+//! - `author`: `author [= "author"]`
+//!
+//! Usable only on top level: `App::author("author" or env!(CARGO_PKG_AUTHOR))`.
+//!
+//! Author/maintainer of the binary, this name appears in help messages.
+//! Defaults to the crate author given by cargo, but only when `author` explicitly mentioned.
+//!
+//! - `about`: `about [= "about"]`
+//!
+//! Usable only on top level: `App::about("about" or env!(CARGO_PKG_DESCRIPTION))`.
+//!
+//! Short description of the binary, appears in help messages.
+//! Defaults to the crate description given by cargo,
+//! but only when `about` explicitly mentioned.
+//!
+//! - [`short`](#specifying-argument-types): `short [= "short-opt-name"]`
+//!
+//! Usable only on field-level.
+//!
+//! - [`long`](#specifying-argument-types): `long [= "long-opt-name"]`
+//!
+//! Usable only on field-level.
+//!
+//! - [`rename_all`](#specifying-argument-types): [`rename_all = "kebab"/"snake"/"screaming-snake"/"camel"/"pascal"/"verbatim"]`
+//!
+//! Usable both on top level and field level.
+//!
+//! - [`parse`](#custom-string-parsers): `parse(type [= path::to::parser::fn])`
+//!
+//! Usable only on field-level.
+//!
+//! - [`skip`](#skipping-fields): `skip [= expr]`
+//!
+//! Usable only on field-level.
+//!
+//! - [`flatten`](#flattening): `flatten`
+//!
+//! Usable only on field-level.
+//!
+//! - [`subcommand`](#subcommands): `subcommand`
+//!
+//! Usable only on field-level.
+//!
+//! - [`env`](#environment-variable-fallback): `env [= str_literal]`
+//!
+//! Usable only on field-level.
+//!
+//! - [`rename_all_env`](##auto-deriving-environment-variables): [`rename_all_env = "kebab"/"snake"/"screaming-snake"/"camel"/"pascal"/"verbatim"]`
+//!
+//! Usable both on top level and field level.
+//!
+//! - [`verbatim_doc_comment`](#doc-comment-preprocessing-and-structoptverbatim_doc_comment):
+//! `verbatim_doc_comment`
+//!
+//! Usable both on top level and field level.
+//!
+//! ## Type magic
+//!
+//! One of major things that makes `structopt` so awesome is it's type magic.
+//! Do you want optional positional argument? Use `Option<T>`! Or perhaps optional argument
+//! that optionally takes value (`[--opt=[val]]`)? Use `Option<Option<T>>`!
+//!
+//! Here is the table of types and `clap` methods they correspond to:
+//!
+//! Type | Effect | Added method call to `clap::Arg`
+//! -----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------
+//! `bool` | `true` if the flag is present | `.takes_value(false).multiple(false)`
+//! `Option<T: FromStr>` | optional positional argument or option | `.takes_value(true).multiple(false)`
+//! `Option<Option<T: FromStr>>` | optional option with optional value | `.takes_value(true).multiple(false).min_values(0).max_values(1)`
+//! `Vec<T: FromStr>` | list of options or the other positional arguments | `.takes_value(true).multiple(true)`
+//! `Option<Vec<T: FromStr>` | optional list of options | `.takes_values(true).multiple(true).min_values(0)`
+//! `T: FromStr` | required option or positional argument | `.takes_value(true).multiple(false).required(!has_default)`
+//!
+//! The `FromStr` trait is used to convert the argument to the given
+//! type, and the `Arg::validator` method is set to a method using
+//! `to_string()` (`FromStr::Err` must implement `std::fmt::Display`).
+//! If you would like to use a custom string parser other than `FromStr`, see
+//! the [same titled section](#custom-string-parsers) below.
+//!
+//! **Note:**
+//! _________________
+//! Pay attention that *only literal occurrence* of this types is special, for example
+//! `Option<T>` is special while `::std::option::Option<T>` is not.
+//!
+//! If you need to avoid special casing you can make a `type` alias and
+//! use it in place of the said type.
+//! _________________
+//!
+//! **Note:**
+//! _________________
+//! `bool` cannot be used as positional argument unless you provide an explicit parser.
+//! If you need a positional bool, for example to parse `true` or `false`, you must
+//! annotate the field with explicit [`#[structopt(parse(...))]`](#custom-string-parsers).
+//! _________________
+//!
+//! Thus, the `speed` argument is generated as:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # extern crate clap;
+//! # fn parse_validator<T>(_: String) -> Result<(), String> { unimplemented!() }
+//! # fn main() {
+//! clap::Arg::with_name("speed")
+//! .takes_value(true)
+//! .multiple(false)
+//! .required(false)
+//! .validator(parse_validator::<f64>)
+//! .short("v")
+//! .long("velocity")
+//! .help("Set speed")
+//! .default_value("42");
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Specifying argument types
+//!
+//! There are three types of arguments that can be supplied to each
+//! (sub-)command:
+//!
+//! - short (e.g. `-h`),
+//! - long (e.g. `--help`)
+//! - and positional.
+//!
+//! Like clap, structopt defaults to creating positional arguments.
+//!
+//! If you want to generate a long argument you can specify either
+//! `long = $NAME`, or just `long` to get a long flag generated using
+//! the field name. The generated casing style can be modified using
+//! the `rename_all` attribute. See the `rename_all` example for more.
+//!
+//! For short arguments, `short` will use the first letter of the
+//! field name by default, but just like the long option it's also
+//! possible to use a custom letter through `short = $LETTER`.
+//!
+//! If an argument is renamed using `name = $NAME` any following call to
+//! `short` or `long` will use the new name.
+//!
+//! **Attention**: If these arguments are used without an explicit name
+//! the resulting flag is going to be renamed using `kebab-case` if the
+//! `rename_all` attribute was not specified previously. The same is true
+//! for subcommands with implicit naming through the related data structure.
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use structopt::StructOpt;
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! #[structopt(rename_all = "kebab-case")]
+//! struct Opt {
+//! /// This option can be specified with something like `--foo-option
+//! /// value` or `--foo-option=value`
+//! #[structopt(long)]
+//! foo_option: String,
+//!
+//! /// This option can be specified with something like `-b value` (but
+//! /// not `--bar-option value`).
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! bar_option: String,
+//!
+//! /// This option can be specified either `--baz value` or `-z value`.
+//! #[structopt(short = "z", long = "baz")]
+//! baz_option: String,
+//!
+//! /// This option can be specified either by `--custom value` or
+//! /// `-c value`.
+//! #[structopt(name = "custom", long, short)]
+//! custom_option: String,
+//!
+//! /// This option is positional, meaning it is the first unadorned string
+//! /// you provide (multiple others could follow).
+//! my_positional: String,
+//!
+//! /// This option is skipped and will be filled with the default value
+//! /// for its type (in this case 0).
+//! #[structopt(skip)]
+//! skipped: u32,
+//!
+//! }
+//!
+//! # fn main() {
+//! # Opt::from_clap(&Opt::clap().get_matches_from(
+//! # &["test", "--foo-option", "", "-b", "", "--baz", "", "--custom", "", "positional"]));
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Help messages
+//!
+//! In clap, help messages for the whole binary can be specified
+//! via [`App::about`] and [`App::long_about`] while help messages
+//! for individual arguments can be specified via [`Arg::help`] and [`Arg::long_help`]".
+//!
+//! `long_*` variants are used when user calls the program with
+//! `--help` and "short" variants are used with `-h` flag. In `structopt`,
+//! you can use them via [raw methods](#raw-methods), for example:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! #[structopt(about = "I am a program and I work, just pass `-h`")]
+//! struct Foo {
+//! #[structopt(short, help = "Pass `-h` and you'll see me!")]
+//! bar: String
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! For convenience, doc comments can be used instead of raw methods
+//! (this example works exactly like the one above):
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! /// I am a program and I work, just pass `-h`
+//! struct Foo {
+//! /// Pass `-h` and you'll see me!
+//! bar: String
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Doc comments on [top-level](#magical-methods) will be turned into
+//! `App::about/long_about` call (see below), doc comments on field-level are
+//! `Arg::help/long_help` calls.
+//!
+//! **Important:**
+//! _________________
+//!
+//! Raw methods have priority over doc comments!
+//!
+//! **Top level doc comments always generate `App::about/long_about` calls!**
+//! If you really want to use the `App::help/long_help` methods (you likely don't),
+//! use a raw method to override the `App::about` call generated from the doc comment.
+//! __________________
+//!
+//! ### `long_help` and `--help`
+//!
+//! A message passed to [`App::long_help`] or [`Arg::long_about`] will be displayed whenever
+//! your program is called with `--help` instead of `-h`. Of course, you can
+//! use them via raw methods as described [above](#help-messages).
+//!
+//! The more convenient way is to use a so-called "long" doc comment:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! /// Hi there, I'm Robo!
+//! ///
+//! /// I like beeping, stumbling, eating your electricity,
+//! /// and making records of you singing in a shower.
+//! /// Pay up, or I'll upload it to youtube!
+//! struct Robo {
+//! /// Call my brother SkyNet.
+//! ///
+//! /// I am artificial superintelligence. I won't rest
+//! /// until I'll have destroyed humanity. Enjoy your
+//! /// pathetic existence, you mere mortals.
+//! #[structopt(long)]
+//! kill_all_humans: bool
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! A long doc comment consists of three parts:
+//! * Short summary
+//! * A blank line (whitespace only)
+//! * Detailed description, all the rest
+//!
+//! In other words, "long" doc comment consists of two or more paragraphs,
+//! with the first being a summary and the rest being the detailed description.
+//!
+//! **A long comment will result in two method calls**, `help(<summary>)` and
+//! `long_help(<whole comment>)`, so clap will display the summary with `-h`
+//! and the whole help message on `--help` (see below).
+//!
+//! So, the example above will be turned into this (details omitted):
+//! ```
+//! clap::App::new("<name>")
+//! .about("Hi there, I'm Robo!")
+//! .long_about("Hi there, I'm Robo!\n\n\
+//! I like beeping, stumbling, eating your electricity,\
+//! and making records of you singing in a shower.\
+//! Pay up or I'll upload it to youtube!")
+//! // args...
+//! # ;
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ### `-h` vs `--help` (A.K.A `help()` vs `long_help()`)
+//!
+//! The `-h` flag is not the same as `--help`.
+//!
+//! -h corresponds to Arg::help/App::about and requests short "summary" messages
+//! while --help corresponds to Arg::long_help/App::long_about and requests more
+//! detailed, descriptive messages.
+//!
+//! It is entirely up to `clap` what happens if you used only one of
+//! [`Arg::help`]/[`Arg::long_help`], see `clap`'s documentation for these methods.
+//!
+//! As of clap v2.33, if only a short message ([`Arg::help`]) or only
+//! a long ([`Arg::long_help`]) message is provided, clap will use it
+//! for both -h and --help. The same logic applies to `about/long_about`.
+//!
+//! ### Doc comment preprocessing and `#[structopt(verbatim_doc_comment)]`
+//!
+//! `structopt` applies some preprocessing to doc comments to ease the most common uses:
+//!
+//! * Strip leading and trailing whitespace from every line, if present.
+//!
+//! * Strip leading and trailing blank lines, if present.
+//!
+//! * Interpret each group of non-empty lines as a word-wrapped paragraph.
+//!
+//! We replace newlines within paragraphs with spaces to allow the output
+//! to be re-wrapped to the terminal width.
+//!
+//! * Strip any excess blank lines so that there is exactly one per paragraph break.
+//!
+//! * If the first paragraph ends in exactly one period,
+//! remove the trailing period (i.e. strip trailing periods but not trailing ellipses).
+//!
+//! Sometimes you don't want this preprocessing to apply, for example the comment contains
+//! some ASCII art or markdown tables, you would need to preserve LFs along with
+//! blank lines and the leading/trailing whitespace. You can ask `structopt` to preserve them
+//! via `#[structopt(verbatim_doc_comment)]` attribute.
+//!
+//! **This attribute must be applied to each field separately**, there's no global switch.
+//!
+//! **Important:**
+//! ______________
+//! Keep in mind that `structopt` will *still* remove one leading space from each
+//! line, even if this attribute is present, to allow for a space between
+//! `///` and the content.
+//!
+//! Also, `structopt` will *still* remove leading and trailing blank lines so
+//! these formats are equivalent:
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! /** This is a doc comment
+//!
+//! Hello! */
+//!
+//! /**
+//! This is a doc comment
+//!
+//! Hello!
+//! */
+//!
+//! /// This is a doc comment
+//! ///
+//! /// Hello!
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Summary
+//! ______________

+//! [`App::about`]: https://docs.rs/clap/2/clap/struct.App.html#method.about
+//! [`App::long_about`]: https://docs.rs/clap/2/clap/struct.App.html#method.long_about
+//! [`Arg::help`]: https://docs.rs/clap/2/clap/struct.Arg.html#method.help
+//! [`Arg::long_help`]: https://docs.rs/clap/2/clap/struct.Arg.html#method.long_help
+//!
+//! ## Environment variable fallback
+//!
+//! It is possible to specify an environment variable fallback option for an arguments
+//! so that its value is taken from the specified environment variable if not
+//! given through the command-line:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! struct Foo {
+//! #[structopt(short, long, env = "PARAMETER_VALUE")]
+//! parameter_value: String
+//! }
+//! # fn main() {}
+//! ```
+//!
+//! By default, values from the environment are shown in the help output (i.e. when invoking
+//! `--help`):
+//!
+//! ```shell
+//! $ cargo run -- --help
+//! ...
+//! OPTIONS:
+//! -p, --parameter-value <parameter-value> [env: PARAMETER_VALUE=env_value]
+//! ```
+//!
+//! In some cases this may be undesirable, for example when being used for passing
+//! credentials or secret tokens. In those cases you can use `hide_env_values` to avoid
+//! having structopt emit the actual secret values:
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! struct Foo {
+//! #[structopt(long = "secret", env = "SECRET_VALUE", hide_env_values = true)]
+//! secret_value: String
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ### Auto-deriving environment variables
+//!
+//! Environment variables tend to be called after the corresponding `struct`'s field,
+//! as in example above. The field is `secret_value` and the env var is "SECRET_VALUE";
+//! the name is the same, except casing is different.
+//!
+//! It's pretty tedious and error-prone to type the same name twice,
+//! so you can ask `structopt` to do that for you.
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! struct Foo {
+//! #[structopt(long = "secret", env)]
+//! secret_value: String
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! It works just like `#[structopt(short/long)]`: if `env` is not set to some concrete
+//! value the value will be derived from the field's name. This is controlled by
+//! `#[structopt(rename_all_env)]`.
+//!
+//! `rename_all_env` works exactly as `rename_all` (including overriding)
+//! except default casing is `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` instead of `kebab-case`.
+//!
+//! ## Skipping fields
+//!
+//! Sometimes you may want to add a field to your `Opt` struct that is not
+//! a command line option and `clap` should know nothing about it. You can ask
+//! `structopt` to skip the field entirely via `#[structopt(skip = value)]`
+//! (`value` must implement `Into<FieldType>`)
+//! or `#[structopt(skip)]` if you want assign the field with `Default::default()`
+//! (obviously, the field's type must implement `Default`).
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! pub struct Opt {
+//! #[structopt(long, short)]
+//! number: u32,
+//!
+//! // these fields are to be assigned with Default::default()
+//!
+//! #[structopt(skip)]
+//! k: String,
+//! #[structopt(skip)]
+//! v: Vec<u32>,
+//!
+//! // these fields get set explicitly
+//!
+//! #[structopt(skip = vec![1, 2, 3])]
+//! k2: Vec<u32>,
+//! #[structopt(skip = "cake")] // &str implements Into<String>
+//! v2: String,
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Subcommands
+//!
+//! Some applications, especially large ones, split their functionality
+//! through the use of "subcommands". Each of these act somewhat like a separate
+//! command, but is part of the larger group.
+//! One example is `git`, which has subcommands such as `add`, `commit`,
+//! and `clone`, to mention just a few.
+//!
+//! `clap` has this functionality, and `structopt` supports it through enums:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//!
+//! # use std::path::PathBuf;
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! #[structopt(about = "the stupid content tracker")]
+//! enum Git {
+//! Add {
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! interactive: bool,
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! patch: bool,
+//! #[structopt(parse(from_os_str))]
+//! files: Vec<PathBuf>
+//! },
+//! Fetch {
+//! #[structopt(long)]
+//! dry_run: bool,
+//! #[structopt(long)]
+//! all: bool,
+//! repository: Option<String>
+//! },
+//! Commit {
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! message: Option<String>,
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! all: bool
+//! }
+//! }
+//! # fn main() {}
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Using `derive(StructOpt)` on an enum instead of a struct will produce
+//! a `clap::App` that only takes subcommands. So `git add`, `git fetch`,
+//! and `git commit` would be commands allowed for the above example.
+//!
+//! `structopt` also provides support for applications where certain flags
+//! need to apply to all subcommands, as well as nested subcommands:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//! # fn main() {}
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! struct MakeCookie {
+//! #[structopt(name = "supervisor", default_value = "Puck", long = "supervisor")]
+//! supervising_faerie: String,
+//! /// The faerie tree this cookie is being made in.
+//! tree: Option<String>,
+//! #[structopt(subcommand)] // Note that we mark a field as a subcommand
+//! cmd: Command
+//! }
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! enum Command {
+//! /// Pound acorns into flour for cookie dough.
+//! Pound {
+//! acorns: u32
+//! },
+//! /// Add magical sparkles -- the secret ingredient!
+//! Sparkle {
+//! #[structopt(short, parse(from_occurrences))]
+//! magicality: u64,
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! color: String
+//! },
+//! Finish(Finish),
+//! }
+//!
+//! // Subcommand can also be externalized by using a 1-uple enum variant
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! struct Finish {
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! time: u32,
+//! #[structopt(subcommand)] // Note that we mark a field as a subcommand
+//! finish_type: FinishType
+//! }
+//!
+//! // subsubcommand!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! enum FinishType {
+//! Glaze {
+//! applications: u32
+//! },
+//! Powder {
+//! flavor: String,
+//! dips: u32
+//! }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Marking a field with `structopt(subcommand)` will add the subcommands of the
+//! designated enum to the current `clap::App`. The designated enum *must* also
+//! be derived `StructOpt`. So the above example would take the following
+//! commands:
+//!
+//! + `make-cookie pound 50`
+//! + `make-cookie sparkle -mmm --color "green"`
+//! + `make-cookie finish 130 glaze 3`
+//!
+//! ### Optional subcommands
+//!
+//! Subcommands may be optional:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//! # fn main() {}
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! struct Foo {
+//! file: String,
+//! #[structopt(subcommand)]
+//! cmd: Option<Command>
+//! }
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! enum Command {
+//! Bar,
+//! Baz,
+//! Quux
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Flattening
+//!
+//! It can sometimes be useful to group related arguments in a substruct,
+//! while keeping the command-line interface flat. In these cases you can mark
+//! a field as `flatten` and give it another type that derives `StructOpt`:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//! # fn main() {}
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! struct Cmdline {
+//! /// switch on verbosity
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! verbose: bool,
+//! #[structopt(flatten)]
+//! daemon_opts: DaemonOpts,
+//! }
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! struct DaemonOpts {
+//! /// daemon user
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! user: String,
+//! /// daemon group
+//! #[structopt(short)]
+//! group: String,
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! In this example, the derived `Cmdline` parser will support the options `-v`,
+//! `-u` and `-g`.
+//!
+//! This feature also makes it possible to define a `StructOpt` struct in a
+//! library, parse the corresponding arguments in the main argument parser, and
+//! pass off this struct to a handler provided by that library.
+//!
+//! ## Custom string parsers
+//!
+//! If the field type does not have a `FromStr` implementation, or you would
+//! like to provide a custom parsing scheme other than `FromStr`, you may
+//! provide a custom string parser using `parse(...)` like this:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # use structopt::StructOpt;
+//! # fn main() {}
+//! use std::num::ParseIntError;
+//! use std::path::PathBuf;
+//!
+//! fn parse_hex(src: &str) -> Result<u32, ParseIntError> {
+//! u32::from_str_radix(src, 16)
+//! }
+//!
+//! #[derive(StructOpt)]
+//! struct HexReader {
+//! #[structopt(short, parse(try_from_str = parse_hex))]
+//! number: u32,
+//! #[structopt(short, parse(from_os_str))]
+//! output: PathBuf,
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! There are five kinds of custom parsers:
+//!
+//! | Kind | Signature | Default |
+//! |-------------------|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
+//! | `from_str` | `fn(&str) -> T` | `::std::convert::From::from` |
+//! | `try_from_str` | `fn(&str) -> Result<T, E>` | `::std::str::FromStr::from_str` |
+//! | `from_os_str` | `fn(&OsStr) -> T` | `::std::convert::From::from` |
+//! | `try_from_os_str` | `fn(&OsStr) -> Result<T, OsString>` | (no default function) |
+//! | `from_occurrences`| `fn(u64) -> T` | `value as T` |
+//! | `from_flag` | `fn(bool) -> T` | `::std::convert::From::from` |
+//!
+//! The `from_occurrences` parser is special. Using `parse(from_occurrences)`
+//! results in the _number of flags occurrences_ being stored in the relevant
+//! field or being passed to the supplied function. In other words, it converts
+//! something like `-vvv` to `3`. This is equivalent to
+//! `.takes_value(false).multiple(true)`. Note that the default parser can only
+//! be used with fields of integer types (`u8`, `usize`, `i64`, etc.).
+//!
+//! The `from_flag` parser is also special. Using `parse(from_flag)` or
+//! `parse(from_flag = some_func)` will result in the field being treated as a
+//! flag even if it does not have type `bool`.
+//!
+//! When supplying a custom string parser, `bool` will not be treated specially:
+//!
+//! Type | Effect | Added method call to `clap::Arg`
+//! ------------|-------------------|--------------------------------------
+//! `Option<T>` | optional argument | `.takes_value(true).multiple(false)`
+//! `Vec<T>` | list of arguments | `.takes_value(true).multiple(true)`
+//! `T` | required argument | `.takes_value(true).multiple(false).required(!has_default)`
+//!
+//! In the `try_from_*` variants, the function will run twice on valid input:
+//! once to validate, and once to parse. Hence, make sure the function is
+//! side-effect-free.
