26 // N.B. This library is for INTERNAL use only.
27 //
28 // This is a simple command-line argument parsing module to help us handle
29 // parameters for C++ binaries. The recommended way of using it is with local
30 // variables and an initializer list of Flag objects, for example:
31 //
32 // int some_int = 10;
33 // bool some_switch = false;
34 // string some_name = "something";
35 // std::vector<tensorFlow::Flag> flag_list = {
36 //   Flag("some_int", &some_int, "an integer that affects X"),
37 //   Flag("some_switch", &some_switch, "a bool that affects Y"),
38 //   Flag("some_name", &some_name, "a string that affects Z")
39 // };
40 // // Get usage message before ParseFlags() to capture default values.
41 // string usage = Flag::Usage(argv[0], flag_list);
42 // bool parsed_values_ok = Flags::Parse(&argc, argv, flag_list);
43 //
44 // tensorflow::port::InitMain(usage.c_str(), &argc, &argv);
45 // if (argc != 1 || !parsed_values_ok) {
46 //    ...output usage and error message...
47 // }
48 //
49 // The argc and argv values are adjusted by the Parse function so all that
50 // remains is the program name (at argv[0]) and any unknown arguments fill the
51 // rest of the array. This means you can check for flags that weren't understood
52 // by seeing if argv is greater than 1.
53 // The result indicates if there were any errors parsing the values that were
54 // passed to the command-line switches. For example, --some_int=foo would return
55 // false because the argument is expected to be an integer.
56 //
57 // NOTE: Unlike gflags-style libraries, this library is intended to be
58 // used in the `main()` function of your binary. It does not handle
59 // flag definitions that are scattered around the source code.
