31/// The abstract representation of a command line argument. Used to set all the options and
32/// relationships that define a valid argument for the program.
33///
34/// There are two methods for constructing [`Arg`]s, using the builder pattern and setting options
35/// manually, or using a usage string which is far less verbose but has fewer options. You can also
36/// use a combination of the two methods to achieve the best of both worlds.

42/// - [Reflection][crate::Arg#reflection]

44/// # Examples
45///
46/// ```rust
47/// # use clap_builder as clap;
48/// # use clap::{Arg, arg, ArgAction};
49/// // Using the traditional builder pattern and setting each option manually
50/// let cfg = Arg::new("config")
51/// .short('c')
52/// .long("config")
53/// .action(ArgAction::Set)
54/// .value_name("FILE")
55/// .help("Provides a config file to myprog");
56/// // Using a usage string (setting a similar argument to the one above)
57/// let input = arg!(-i --input <FILE> "Provides an input file to the program");
