package cli // import "github.com/urfave/cli/v3"
Package cli provides a minimal framework for creating and organizing command
line Go applications. cli is designed to be easy to understand and write,
the most simple cli application can be written as follows:
func main() {
(&cli.Command{}).Run(context.Background(), os.Args)
}
Of course this application does not do much, so let's make this an actual
application:
func main() {
cmd := &cli.Command{
Name: "greet",
Usage: "say a greeting",
Action: func(c *cli.Context) error {
fmt.Println("Greetings")
return nil
},
}
cmd.Run(context.Background(), os.Args)
}

implementing the io.Writer interface and defaults to os.Stderr.

SubcommandHelpTemplate is the text template for the subcommand help topic.
cli.go uses text/template to render templates. You can render custom help
text by setting this variable.
var VersionPrinter = printVersion
VersionPrinter prints the version for the App
var HelpPrinter helpPrinter = printHelp
HelpPrinter is a function that writes the help output. If not set
explicitly, this calls HelpPrinterCustom using only the default template
functions.
If custom logic for printing help is required, this function can be
overridden. If the ExtraInfo field is defined on an App, this function
should not be modified, as HelpPrinterCustom will be used directly in order
to capture the extra information.
var HelpPrinterCustom helpPrinterCustom = printHelpCustom
HelpPrinterCustom is a function that writes the help output. It is used as
the default implementation of HelpPrinter, and may be called directly if the
ExtraInfo field is set on an App.
In the default implementation, if the customFuncs argument contains a
"wrapAt" key, which is a function which takes no arguments and returns an
int, this int value will be used to produce a "wrap" function used by the
default template to wrap long lines.
FUNCTIONS
func DefaultAppComplete(ctx context.Context, cmd *Command)
DefaultAppComplete prints the list of subcommands as the default app
completion method

func HandleExitCoder(err error)
HandleExitCoder handles errors implementing ExitCoder by printing their
message and calling OsExiter with the given exit code.
If the given error instead implements MultiError, each error will be checked
for the ExitCoder interface, and OsExiter will be called with the last exit
code found, or exit code 1 if no ExitCoder is found.
This function is the default error-handling behavior for an App.
func ShowAppHelp(cmd *Command) error
ShowAppHelp is an action that displays the help.
func ShowAppHelpAndExit(cmd *Command, exitCode int)
ShowAppHelpAndExit - Prints the list of subcommands for the app and exits
with exit code.

can be avoided by overriding the ExitErrHandler function on an App or the
