// This is a helper class for dealing with command line flags. It uses
// base/command_line.h to parse flags from argv, but provides an API similar
// to gflags. Command line arguments with either '-' or '--' prefixes are
// treated as flags. Flags can optionally have a value set using an '='
// delimeter, e.g. "--flag=value". An argument of "--" will terminate flag
// parsing, so that any subsequent arguments will be treated as non-flag
// arguments, regardless of prefix. Non-flag arguments are outside the scope
// of this class, and can instead be accessed through the GetArgs() function
// of the base::CommandLine singleton after FlagHelper initialization.
//
// The FlagHelper class will automatically take care of the --help flag, as
// well as aborting the program when unknown flags are passed to the
// application and when passed in parameters cannot be correctly parsed to
// their respective types. Developers define flags at compile time using the
// following macros from within main():
//
// DEFINE_bool(name, default_value, help)
// DEFINE_int32(name, default_value, help)
// DEFINE_uint32(name, default_value, help)
// DEFINE_int64(name, default_value, help)
// DEFINE_uint64(name, default_value, help)
// DEFINE_double(name, default_value, help)
// DEFINE_string(name, default_value, help)
//
// Using the macro will create a scoped variable of the appropriate type
// with the name FLAGS_<name>, that can be used to access the flag's
// value within the program. Here is an example of how the FlagHelper
// class is to be used:
//
// --
//
// #include <brillo/flag_helper.h>
// #include <stdio.h>
//
// int main(int argc, char** argv) {
// DEFINE_int32(example, 0, "Example int flag");
// brillo::FlagHelper::Init(argc, argv, "Test application.");
//
// printf("You passed in %d to --example command line flag\n",
// FLAGS_example);
// return 0;
// }
//
// --
//
// In order to update the FLAGS_xxxx values from their defaults to the
// values passed in to the command line, Init(...) must be called after
// all the DEFINE_xxxx macros have instantiated the variables.
