pub struct ArgMatches { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
Container for parse results.
Used to get information about the arguments that were supplied to the program at runtime by
the user. New instances of this struct are obtained by using the Command::get_matches
family of
methods.
§Examples
let matches = Command::new("MyApp")
.arg(Arg::new("out")
.long("output")
.required(true)
.action(ArgAction::Set)
.default_value("-"))
.arg(Arg::new("cfg")
.short('c')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches(); // builds the instance of ArgMatches
// to get information about the "cfg" argument we created, such as the value supplied we use
// various ArgMatches methods, such as [ArgMatches::get_one]
if let Some(c) = matches.get_one::<String>("cfg") {
println!("Value for -c: {c}");
}
// The ArgMatches::get_one method returns an Option because the user may not have supplied
// that argument at runtime. But if we specified that the argument was "required" as we did
// with the "out" argument, we can safely unwrap because `clap` verifies that was actually
// used at runtime.
println!("Value for --output: {}", matches.get_one::<String>("out").unwrap());
// You can check the presence of an argument's values
if matches.contains_id("out") {
// However, if you want to know where the value came from
if matches.value_source("out").expect("checked contains_id") == ValueSource::CommandLine {
println!("`out` set by user");
} else {
println!("`out` is defaulted");
}
}
Implementations§
Source§impl ArgMatches
§Arguments
impl ArgMatches
§Arguments
Sourcepub fn get_one<T>(&self, id: &str) -> Option<&T>
pub fn get_one<T>(&self, id: &str) -> Option<&T>
Gets the value of a specific option or positional argument.
i.e. an argument that takes an additional value at runtime.
Returns an error if the wrong type was used.
Returns None
if the option wasn’t present.
NOTE: This will always return Some(value)
if default_value
has been set.
ArgMatches::value_source
can be used to check if a value is present at runtime.
§Panic
If the argument definition and access mismatch. To handle this case programmatically, see
ArgMatches::try_get_one
.
§Examples
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("port")
.value_parser(value_parser!(usize))
.action(ArgAction::Set)
.required(true))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "2020"]);
let port: usize = *m
.get_one("port")
.expect("`port`is required");
assert_eq!(port, 2020);
Sourcepub fn get_count(&self, id: &str) -> u8
pub fn get_count(&self, id: &str) -> u8
Gets the value of a specific ArgAction::Count
flag
§Panic
If the argument’s action is not ArgAction::Count
§Examples
let cmd = Command::new("mycmd")
.arg(
Arg::new("flag")
.long("flag")
.action(clap::ArgAction::Count)
);
let matches = cmd.clone().try_get_matches_from(["mycmd", "--flag", "--flag"]).unwrap();
assert_eq!(
matches.get_count("flag"),
2
);
Sourcepub fn get_flag(&self, id: &str) -> bool
pub fn get_flag(&self, id: &str) -> bool
Gets the value of a specific ArgAction::SetTrue
or ArgAction::SetFalse
flag
§Panic
If the argument’s action is not ArgAction::SetTrue
or ArgAction::SetFalse
§Examples
let cmd = Command::new("mycmd")
.arg(
Arg::new("flag")
.long("flag")
.action(clap::ArgAction::SetTrue)
);
let matches = cmd.clone().try_get_matches_from(["mycmd", "--flag"]).unwrap();
assert!(matches.contains_id("flag"));
assert_eq!(
matches.get_flag("flag"),
true
);
Sourcepub fn get_many<T>(&self, id: &str) -> Option<ValuesRef<'_, T>>
pub fn get_many<T>(&self, id: &str) -> Option<ValuesRef<'_, T>>
Iterate over values of a specific option or positional argument.
i.e. an argument that takes multiple values at runtime.
Returns an error if the wrong type was used.
Returns None
if the option wasn’t present.
§Panic
If the argument definition and access mismatch. To handle this case programmatically, see
ArgMatches::try_get_many
.
§Examples
let m = Command::new("myprog")
.arg(Arg::new("ports")
.action(ArgAction::Append)
.value_parser(value_parser!(usize))
.short('p')
.required(true))
.get_matches_from(vec![
"myprog", "-p", "22", "-p", "80", "-p", "2020"
]);
let vals: Vec<usize> = m.get_many("ports")
.expect("`port`is required")
.copied()
.collect();
assert_eq!(vals, [22, 80, 2020]);
Sourcepub fn get_occurrences<T>(&self, id: &str) -> Option<OccurrencesRef<'_, T>>
pub fn get_occurrences<T>(&self, id: &str) -> Option<OccurrencesRef<'_, T>>
Iterate over the values passed to each occurrence of an option.
Each item is itself an iterator containing the arguments passed to a single occurrence of the option.
If the option doesn’t support multiple occurrences, or there was only a single occurrence, the iterator will only contain a single item.
Returns None
if the option wasn’t present.
§Panics
If the argument definition and access mismatch (debug builds). To handle this case programmatically, see
ArgMatches::try_get_occurrences
.
§Examples
let m = Command::new("myprog")
.arg(Arg::new("x")
.short('x')
.num_args(2)
.action(ArgAction::Append)
.value_parser(value_parser!(String)))
.get_matches_from(vec![
"myprog", "-x", "a", "b", "-x", "c", "d"]);
let vals: Vec<Vec<&String>> = m.get_occurrences("x").unwrap().map(Iterator::collect).collect();
assert_eq!(vals, [["a", "b"], ["c", "d"]]);
Sourcepub fn get_raw(&self, id: &str) -> Option<RawValues<'_>>
pub fn get_raw(&self, id: &str) -> Option<RawValues<'_>>
Iterate over the original argument values.
An OsStr
on Unix-like systems is any series of bytes, regardless of whether or not they
contain valid UTF-8. Since String
s in Rust are guaranteed to be valid UTF-8, a valid
filename on a Unix system as an argument value may contain invalid UTF-8.
Returns None
if the option wasn’t present.
§Panic
If the argument definition and access mismatch. To handle this case programmatically, see
ArgMatches::try_get_raw
.
§Examples
use std::path::PathBuf;
let m = Command::new("utf8")
.arg(arg!(<arg> ... "some arg").value_parser(value_parser!(PathBuf)))
.get_matches_from(vec![OsString::from("myprog"),
// "Hi"
OsString::from_vec(vec![b'H', b'i']),
// "{0xe9}!"
OsString::from_vec(vec![0xe9, b'!'])]);
let mut itr = m.get_raw("arg")
.expect("`port`is required")
.into_iter();
assert_eq!(itr.next(), Some(OsStr::new("Hi")));
assert_eq!(itr.next(), Some(OsStr::from_bytes(&[0xe9, b'!'])));
assert_eq!(itr.next(), None);
Sourcepub fn get_raw_occurrences(&self, id: &str) -> Option<RawOccurrences<'_>>
pub fn get_raw_occurrences(&self, id: &str) -> Option<RawOccurrences<'_>>
Iterate over the original values for each occurrence of an option.
Similar to ArgMatches::get_occurrences
but returns raw values.
An OsStr
on Unix-like systems is any series of bytes, regardless of whether or not they
contain valid UTF-8. Since String
s in Rust are guaranteed to be valid UTF-8, a valid

OsString::from_vec(vec![0xe9, b'!'])]);
let mut itr = m.get_raw_occurrences("x")
.expect("`-x`is required")
.map(Iterator::collect::<Vec<_>>);
assert_eq!(itr.next(), Some(vec![OsStr::new("a"), OsStr::new("b")]));
assert_eq!(itr.next(), Some(vec![OsStr::new("c"), OsStr::from_bytes(&[0xe9, b'!'])]));
assert_eq!(itr.next(), None);
Sourcepub fn remove_one<T>(&mut self, id: &str) -> Option<T>
pub fn remove_one<T>(&mut self, id: &str) -> Option<T>
Returns the value of a specific option or positional argument.
i.e. an argument that takes an additional value at runtime.
Returns an error if the wrong type was used. No item will have been removed.
Returns None
if the option wasn’t present.
NOTE: This will always return Some(value)
if default_value
has been set.
ArgMatches::value_source
can be used to check if a value is present at runtime.

NOTE: This will always return true
if default_value
has been set.

["config", "color"]
);

assert!(! m.args_present());
Sourcepub fn value_source(&self, id: &str) -> Option<ValueSource>
pub fn value_source(&self, id: &str) -> Option<ValueSource>
Report where argument value came from
§Panics
If id
is not a valid argument or group id (debug builds).
§Examples
let m = Command::new("myprog")
.arg(Arg::new("debug")
.short('d')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.get_matches_from(vec![
"myprog", "-d"
]);
assert_eq!(m.value_source("debug"), Some(ValueSource::CommandLine));
Sourcepub fn index_of(&self, id: &str) -> Option<usize>
pub fn index_of(&self, id: &str) -> Option<usize>
The first index of that an argument showed up.
Indices are similar to argv indices, but are not exactly 1:1.
For flags (i.e. those arguments which don’t have an associated value), indices refer
to occurrence of the switch, such as -f
, or --flag
. However, for options the indices
refer to the values -o val
would therefore not represent two distinct indices, only the
index for val
would be recorded. This is by design.
Besides the flag/option discrepancy, the primary difference between an argv index and clap index, is that clap continues counting once all arguments have properly separated, whereas an argv index does not.
The examples should clear this up.
NOTE: If an argument is allowed multiple times, this method will only give the first
index. See ArgMatches::indices_of
.
§Panics
If id
is not a valid argument or group id (debug builds).
§Examples
The argv indices are listed in the comments below. See how they correspond to the clap
indices. Note that if it’s not listed in a clap index, this is because it’s not saved in
in an ArgMatches
struct for querying.
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-f", "-o", "val"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3
// clap indices: ^1 ^3
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag"), Some(1));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(3));
Now notice, if we use one of the other styles of options:
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-f", "-o=val"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1 ^2
// clap indices: ^1 ^3
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag"), Some(1));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(3));
Things become much more complicated, or clear if we look at a more complex combination of flags. Let’s also throw in the final option style for good measure.
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("flag2")
.short('F')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("flag3")
.short('z')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-fzF", "-oval"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1 ^2
// clap indices: ^1,2,3 ^5
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -f -z -F -o val'
// ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag"), Some(1));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag2"), Some(3));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag3"), Some(2));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(5));
One final combination of flags/options to see how they combine:
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("flag2")
.short('F')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("flag3")
.short('z')
.action(ArgAction::SetTrue))
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-fzFoval"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1
// clap indices: ^1,2,3^5
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -f -z -F -o val'
// ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag"), Some(1));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag2"), Some(3));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("flag3"), Some(2));
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(5));
The last part to mention is when values are sent in multiple groups with a delimiter.
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.value_delimiter(',')
.num_args(1..))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-o=val1,val2,val3"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1
// clap indices: ^2 ^3 ^4
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -o val1 val2 val3'
// ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4
assert_eq!(m.index_of("option"), Some(2));
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("option").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[2, 3, 4]);
Sourcepub fn indices_of(&self, id: &str) -> Option<Indices<'_>>
pub fn indices_of(&self, id: &str) -> Option<Indices<'_>>
All indices an argument appeared at when parsing.
Indices are similar to argv indices, but are not exactly 1:1.
For flags (i.e. those arguments which don’t have an associated value), indices refer
to occurrence of the switch, such as -f
, or --flag
. However, for options the indices
refer to the values -o val
would therefore not represent two distinct indices, only the
index for val
would be recorded. This is by design.
NOTE: For more information about how clap indices compared to argv indices, see
ArgMatches::index_of
§Panics
If id
is not a valid argument or group id (debug builds).
§Examples
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.value_delimiter(','))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-o=val1,val2,val3"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1
// clap indices: ^2 ^3 ^4
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -o val1 val2 val3'
// ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("option").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[2, 3, 4]);
Another quick example is when flags and options are used together
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set)
.action(ArgAction::Append))
.arg(Arg::new("flag")
.short('f')
.action(ArgAction::Count))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-o", "val1", "-f", "-o", "val2", "-f"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5 ^6
// clap indices: ^2 ^3 ^5 ^6
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("option").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[2, 5]);
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("flag").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[6]);
One final example, which is an odd case; if we don’t use value delimiter as we did with
the first example above instead of val1
, val2
and val3
all being distinc values, they
would all be a single value of val1,val2,val3
, in which case they’d only receive a single
index.
let m = Command::new("myapp")
.arg(Arg::new("option")
.short('o')
.action(ArgAction::Set)
.num_args(1..))
.get_matches_from(vec!["myapp", "-o=val1,val2,val3"]);
// ARGV indices: ^0 ^1
// clap indices: ^2
//
// clap sees the above as 'myapp -o "val1,val2,val3"'
// ^0 ^1 ^2
assert_eq!(m.indices_of("option").unwrap().collect::<Vec<_>>(), &[2]);
