+Positional Arguments and Options: Order matters
|
|
|
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Borg only supports taking options (``-v`` and ``--list`` in the example)
|
|
|
+to the left or right of all positional arguments (``repo::archive`` and ``path``
|
|
|
+in the example), but not in between them:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ borg extract -v --list repo::archive path # good and preferred
|
|
|
+ borg extract repo::archive path -v --list # also works
|
|
|
+ borg extract -v repo::archive path --list # works, but ugly
|
|
|
+ borg extract repo::archive -v --list path # BAD
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This is due to a problem in the argparse module: http://bugs.python.org/issue15112
