OptionSpec

[Source]

OptionSpec describes the specification of a named Option. They have a name, descr(iption), a short-name, a typ(e), and a default value when they are not required.

• OptionSpec val^

string_seq

[Source]

Creates an Option with a ReadSeq[String] typed value that can be used like --files=file1 --files=files2 --files=files2 to yield a sequence of three strings equivalent to cmd.option("ratio").string_seq() (equiv) ["file1"; "file2"; "file3"].
