ArgSpec

[Source]

ArgSpec describes the specification of a positional Arg(ument). They have a name, descr(iption), a typ(e), and a default value when they are not required.

Args always come after a leaf command, and are assigned in their positional order.

• ArgSpec val^

string_seq

[Source]

Creates an Arg with a ReadSeq[String] typed value that can be used like <cmd> file1 file2 file3 to yield a sequence of three strings equivalent to cmd.arg("file").string_seq() (equiv) ["file1"; "file2"; "file3"].
