5 // This class works with command lines: building and parsing.
6 // Switches can optionally have a value attached using an equals sign, as in
7 // "-switch=value". Arguments that aren't prefixed with a switch prefix are
8 // saved as extra arguments. An argument of "--" will terminate switch parsing,
9 // causing everything after to be considered as extra arguments.
10 
11 // There is a singleton read-only CommandLine that represents the command line
12 // that the current process was started with.  It must be initialized in main().
