- Flag Groups - Organize flags into logical sections with
CreateGroup() - File Input Support -
FileStringSliceloads values from files - Duration Flags - Parse time durations (30s, 5m, 1h)
- Size Flags - Parse file sizes with units (10mb, 5gb, 1tb)
- Callback Flags - Execute functions when flags are set
- String Slices - Support multiple values and comma-separated input
- Short & Long Flags - Both
-vand--verbosestyles - Grouped Help Output - Beautiful, organized help messages
- String flags (String, StringVar, StringVarP)
- Boolean flags (Bool, BoolVar, BoolVarP)
- Integer flags (Int, IntVar, IntVarP)
- Duration flags (Duration, DurationVar, DurationVarP)
- Size flags (Size, SizeVar, SizeVarP)
- StringSlice flags (StringSlice, StringSliceVar, StringSliceVarP)
- File StringSlice (FileStringSlice, FileStringSliceVar, FileStringSliceVarP)
- Callback flags (Callback, CallbackVar, CallbackVarP)
Total: 25+ flag methods (Simple + Var + VarP variants)
