--help and help are successful commands so output should not go to error. QE teams have requested this change, also users doing docker help | less or docker run --help | less would expect this to work. Usage statement should only be printed when the user asks for it. Errors should print error message and then suggest the docker COMMAND --help command to see usage information. The current behaviour causes the user to have to search for the error message and sometimes scrolls right off the screen. For example a error on a "docker run" command is very difficult to diagnose. Finally erros should always exit with a non 0 exit code, if the user makes a CLI error. Docker-DCO-1.1-Signed-off-by: Dan Walsh <dwalsh@redhat.com> (github: rhatdan) |

Package mflag (aka multiple-flag) implements command-line flag parsing.
It's an hacky fork of the official golang package
It adds:
-
both short and long flag version
./example -s red./example --string blue -
multiple names for the same option
$>./example -h
Usage of example:
-s, --string="": a simple string
It is very flexible on purpose, so you can do things like:
$>./example -h
Usage of example:
-s, -string, --string="": a simple string
Or:
$>./example -h
Usage of example:
-oldflag, --newflag="": a simple string
You can also hide some flags from the usage, so if we want only --newflag:
$>./example -h
Usage of example:
--newflag="": a simple string
$>./example -oldflag str
str
See example.go for more details.
