Builder API

using Clap;

var matches = Command.New("myapp")
    .Version("1.0.0")
    .About("My awesome app")
    .Arg(Arg.New("config").Short('c').Long("config").Help("Config file path").Required(true))
    .Arg(Arg.New("verbose").Short('v').Long("verbose").Action(ArgAction.SetTrue))
    .GetMatches(args);

var config = matches.GetOne<string>("config");
var verbose = matches.GetFlag("verbose");

using Clap;

[Command(Name = "myapp", Version = "1.0.0", About = "My awesome app")]
class Cli : ClapParser
{
    [Arg(Short = 'c', Help = "Config file path", Required = true)]
    public string? Config { get; set; }

    [Arg(Short = 'v', Help = "Enable verbose output")]
    public bool Verbose { get; set; }
}

var cli = ClapParser.ParseAndExitOnError<Cli>(args);
