Various settings that apply to arguments and may be set, unset, and checked via getter/setter methods Arg::setting, Arg::unset_setting, and Arg::is_set. This is what the Arg methods which accept a bool use internally.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Trait Implementations

impl BitOr<ArgSettings> for ArgSettings

type Output = ArgFlags

The resulting type after applying the | operator.

fn bitor(self, rhs: Self) -> Self::Output

Performs the | operation.

impl Clone for ArgSettings

fn clone(&self) -> ArgSettings

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ArgSettings

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq<ArgSettings> for ArgSettings

fn eq(&self, other: &ArgSettings) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
