add.argument: Add an argument to a parser.

In argparser: Command-Line Argument Parser

Add an argument to a parser.

Description

This function is deprecated. Use add_argument instead.

Usage

add.argument(
  parser,
  arg,
  help,
  default = NULL,
  type = NULL,
  flag = NULL,
  short = NULL
)

Arguments

parser	an arg.parser object
arg	argument name (use no prefix for positional arguments, -- or - prefix for optional arguments or flags)
help	help description for the argument
default	default value for the argument [default: NA]
type	variable type of the argument (which can be inferred from default), assumed to be character otherwise
flag	whether argument is a flag (and does not consume a value) [default: FALSE]
short	short-form for flags and positional arguments; short-forms can be assigned automatically based on the first character of the argument name, unless a conflict arises with an existing short-form; to avoid conflicts, add the argument as early as possible

Value

an arg.parser object with the argument added
