<p>Allows creation of basic settings for the <a href="builder/struct.Arg.html" title="struct clap_builder::builder::Arg"><code>Arg</code></a>.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: Not all settings may be set using the usage string method. Some properties are
only available via the builder pattern.</p>
<h2 id="syntax"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#syntax">§</a>Syntax</h2>
<p>Usage strings typically following the form:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-notrust"><code>[explicit name] [short] [long] [value names] [...] [help string]
</code></pre></div><h4 id="explicit-name"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#explicit-name">§</a>Explicit Name</h4>
<p>The name may be either a bare-word or a string, followed by a <code>:</code>, like <code>name:</code> or
<code>&quot;name&quot;:</code>.</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> This is an optional field, if its omitted the argument will use one of the additional
fields as the name using the following priority order:</p>
<ol>
<li>Explicit Name</li>
<li>Long</li>
<li>Value Name</li>
</ol>
<p>See <a href="builder/struct.Arg.html#method.id" title="method clap_builder::builder::Arg::id"><code>Arg::id</code></a>.</p>
<h4 id="short"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#short">§</a>Short</h4>
<p>A short flag is a <code>-</code> followed by either a bare-character or quoted character, like <code>-f</code> or
<code>-'f'</code>.</p>
<p>See <a href="builder/struct.Arg.html#method.short" title="method clap_builder::builder::Arg::short"><code>Arg::short</code></a>.</p>
<h4 id="long"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#long">§</a>Long</h4>
<p>A long flag is a <code>--</code> followed by either a bare-word or a string, like <code>--foo</code> or
<code>--&quot;foo&quot;</code>.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Dashes in the long name (e.g. <code>--foo-bar</code>) is not supported and quoting is required
(e.g. <code>--&quot;foo-bar&quot;</code>).</p>
<p>See <a href="builder/struct.Arg.html#method.long" title="method clap_builder::builder::Arg::long"><code>Arg::long</code></a>.</p>
<h4 id="values-value-notation"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#values-value-notation">§</a>Values (Value Notation)</h4>
<p>This is set by placing bare-word between:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>[]</code> like <code>[FOO]</code>
<ul>
<li>Positional argument: optional</li>
<li>Named argument: optional value</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>&lt;&gt;</code> like <code>&lt;FOO&gt;</code>: required</li>
</ul>
<p>See <a href="builder/struct.Arg.html#method.value_name" title="method clap_builder::builder::Arg::value_name"><code>Arg::value_name</code></a>.</p>
<h4 id=""><a class="doc-anchor" href="#">§</a><code>...</code></h4>
<p><code>...</code> (three consecutive dots/periods) specifies that this argument may occur multiple
times (not to be confused with multiple values per occurrence).</p>
<p>See <a href="builder/enum.ArgAction.html#variant.Count" title="variant clap_builder::builder::ArgAction::Count"><code>ArgAction::Count</code></a> and <a href="builder/enum.ArgAction.html#variant.Append" title="variant clap_builder::builder::ArgAction::Append"><code>ArgAction::Append</code></a>.</p>
<h4 id="help-string"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#help-string">§</a>Help String</h4>
<p>The help string is denoted between a pair of double quotes <code>&quot;&quot;</code> and may contain any
characters.</p>
