The action keyword argument specifies how the command-line arguments +should be handled. The supported actions are: + +- ```store``` - Just stores the argument’s value. This is the default action. +- ```storeConst``` - Stores value, specified by the const keyword argument. + (Note that the const keyword argument defaults to the rather unhelpful None.) + The 'storeConst' action is most commonly used with optional arguments, that + specify some sort of flag. +- ```storeTrue``` and ```storeFalse``` - Stores values True and False + respectively. These are special cases of 'storeConst'. +- ```append``` - Stores a list, and appends each argument value to the list. + This is useful to allow an option to be specified multiple times. +- ```appendConst``` - Stores a list, and appends value, specified by the + const keyword argument to the list. (Note, that the const keyword argument defaults + is None.) The 'appendConst' action is typically used when multiple arguments need + to store constants to the same list. +- ```count``` - Counts the number of times a keyword argument occurs. For example, + used for increasing verbosity levels. +- ```help``` - Prints a complete help message for all the options in the current + parser and then exits. By default a help action is automatically added to the parser. + See ArgumentParser for details of how the output is created. +- ```version``` - Prints version information and exit. Expects a `version=` + keyword argument in the addArgument() call. + +Details in [original action guide](http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html#action) + + +Sub-commands +============ + +ArgumentParser.addSubparsers() + +Many programs split their functionality into a number of sub-commands, for +example, the svn program can invoke sub-commands like `svn checkout`, `svn update`, +and `svn commit`. Splitting up functionality this way can be a particularly good +idea when a program performs several different functions which require different +kinds of command-line arguments. `ArgumentParser` supports creation of such +sub-commands with `addSubparsers()` method. The `addSubparsers()` method is +normally called with no arguments and returns an special action object. +This object has a single method `addParser()`, which takes a command name and +any `ArgumentParser` constructor arguments, and returns an `ArgumentParser` object +that can be modified as usual. + +Example: + +sub_commands.js +```javascript +#!/usr/bin/env node +'use strict'; + +var ArgumentParser = require('../lib/argparse').ArgumentParser; +var parser = new ArgumentParser({ + version: '0.0.1', + addHelp:true, + description: 'Argparse examples: sub-commands', +}); + +var subparsers = parser.addSubparsers({ + title:'subcommands', + dest:"subcommand_name" +}); + +var bar = subparsers.addParser('c1', {addHelp:true}); +bar.addArgument( + [ '-f', '--foo' ], + { + action: 'store', + help: 'foo3 bar3' + } +); +var bar = subparsers.addParser( + 'c2', + {aliases:['co'], addHelp:true} +); +bar.addArgument( + [ '-b', '--bar' ], + { + action: 'store', + type: 'int', + help: 'foo3 bar3' + } +); + +var args = parser.parseArgs(); +console.dir(args); + +``` + +Details in [original sub-commands guide](http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html#sub-commands) + + +Contributors +============ + +- [Eugene Shkuropat](https://github.com/shkuropat) +- [Paul Jacobson](https://github.com/hpaulj) + +[others](https://github.com/nodeca/argparse/graphs/contributors) + +License +======= + +Copyright (c) 2012 [Vitaly Puzrin](https://github.com/puzrin). +Released under the MIT license.
