如何引用go-flag IsSet，需要功能代码示例

Question

New to Go, and having a basic conceptual problem (I think)...

Trying to use github.com/jessevdk/go-flags and have it mostly working. --help and whatnot are working fine, flags are being passed, etc.

I need to understand if a option was set via a flag or via go-flags parser using the provided default value. It appears go-flags has an "IsSet" function, but I'm clueless how to reference it. Presume:

var opts struct {
    Port int `short:"p" long:"Port" description:"IP port" default:"1111"
}
_, err := flags.Parse(&opts) 

I can reference the value via "opts.Port", but how can I find out if the option was set via a flag or default? Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Figured this out:

parser := flags.NewParser(&opts, flags.Default) o := parser.FindOptionByLongName("Port) if o.IsSet() {}

Problme is that IsSet() is true if the flag was used on the command line OR if it was set via the default.

So solved the surface problem of referencing IsSet() but still hunting for an ability to tell which occured, since I want the flag defaults to show in --help.
