5 // This class works with command lines: building and parsing.
6 // Arguments with prefixes ('--', '-', and on Windows, '/') are switches.
7 // Switches will precede all other arguments without switch prefixes.
8 // Switches can optionally have values, delimited by '=', e.g., "-switch=value".
9 // An argument of "--" will terminate switch parsing during initialization,
10 // interpreting subsequent tokens as non-switch arguments, regardless of prefix.
12 // There is a singleton read-only CommandLine that represents the command line
13 // that the current process was started with. It must be initialized in main().
