feat: Support terminated options like find -exec
#395
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
The upstream go-flags project do not support terminated options like ``find -exec``. The repo was forked and the feature was introduced in [0]. Until the PR [1] is merged in the upstream repo, we need to maintain and point to a fork with the features there. Refs: - [0] rebornplusplus/go-flags@1dbaf44 - [1] jessevdk/go-flags#395

The overall idea looks reasonable to me, but I have a few comments related to making it more general and cleaning it up a bit.

Nice work! Just a couple of minor nits comments (and I kinda disagree --term \;
that should be disallowed).
Enable option to receive arguments until specified terminator is reached or EOL has been found. This is inspired from ``find -exec [commands..] ;`` where commands.. is treated as arguments to -exec. If for an option ``opt``, ``terminator`` is specified to be ; (semi-colon), in the following $ program [options] --opt v --w=x -- "y z" \; [more-options] --opt will receive {"v", "--w=x", "--", "y z"} as its argument. Note that, the -- inside will also be passed to --opt regardless PassDoubleDash is set or not. However, once the scope of --opt is finished, i.e. terminator ; is reached, -- will act as before if PassDoubleDash is set. Use tag ``terminator`` to specify the terminator for the option related to that field. Please note that, the specified terminator should be a separate token, instead of being jotted with other characters. For example, --opt [arguments..] ; [options..] will be correctly parsed with terminator: ";". However, --opt [arguments..] arg; [options..] will not be correctly parsed. The parser will pass "arg;", and continue to look for the terminator in [options..].
