xcli-rs

A CLI implementation in Rust that is based on Rustyline.

Supported Platforms

• Unix
• Windows
  • cmd.exe
  • Powershell
• MacOS (not tested yet)

Note:

• " quoted argument is not supported
• No prompt is shown when running on non-tty device. Need a simple tweak on Rustyline...

Example

use xcli::*;

let mut app = App::new("xCLI")
    .version("v0.1")
    .author("kingwel.xie@139.com");

app.add_subcommand(Command::new("qwert")
    .about("controls testing features")
    .usage("qwert")
    .action(|_app, _actions| -> XcliResult {
        println!("qwert tested");
        Ok(CmdExeCode::Ok)
    }));

app.run();
