* Flags
*
* Usage:
* 1) Define flags using flag.String(), Bool(), Int(), etc. Example:
* import flag "flag"
* var ip *int = flag.Int("flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
* If you like, you can bind the flag to a variable using the Var() functions.
* var flagvar int
* func init() {
* flag.IntVar(&flagvar, "flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
* }
*
* 2) After all flags are defined, call
* flag.Parse()
* to parse the command line into the defined flags.
*
* 3) Flags may then be used directly. If you're using the flags themselves,
* they are all pointers; if you bind to variables, they're values.
* print("ip has value ", *ip, "\n");
* print("flagvar has value ", flagvar, "\n");
*
* 4) After parsing, flag.Arg(i) is the i'th argument after the flags.
* Args are indexed from 0 up to flag.NArg().
*
* Command line flag syntax:
* -flag
* -flag=x
* -flag x
* One or two minus signs may be used; they are equivalent.
*
* Flag parsing stops just before the first non-flag argument
* ("-" is a non-flag argument) or after the terminator "--".
*
* Integer flags accept 1234, 0664, 0x1234 and may be negative.
* Boolean flags may be 1, 0, t, f, true, false, TRUE, FALSE, True, False.
The flag package implements command-line flag parsing.
