Query: Command line argument character (I.E. "--", "/") #167

Question -

New to F#, I have some small program ideas and I am working on those, but for now I would like to use Argu for command line parsing.

I use the windows standard "/arg1 some_string /INI ini_file.ini" type command line args.

Can Argu use this type of command line character, and if so how.

Any help and or support would be greatly appreciated.

In general, the OOTB behavior is to use --. AltCommandLine and CliPrefix are the attributes that let you influence it I'm not aware of any explicit support for /

I'd advise pulling the repo into an IDE and reading the tests to get a good flavor of what's possible (the tutorial can be useful too). I personally spent a long time avoiding doing this and regret it!

Thanks, I'll venture back into it
