FromArgsUsage is a partial usage message that applications calling FromArgs may wish to include in their -help output.
Some of the aspects of this documentation, like flags and handling '--' need to be implemented by the tools.
const FromArgsUsage = `
<args> is a list of arguments denoting a set of instances of the form:
<package>* <file_args>*
1. A list of source files
CUE files are parsed, loaded and unified into a single instance. All files
must have the same package name.
Data files, like YAML or JSON, are handled in one of two ways:
a. Explicitly mapped into a single CUE namespace, using the --path, --files
and --list flags. In this case these are unified into a single instance
along with any other CUE files.
b. Treated as a stream of data elements that each is optionally unified with
a single instance, which either consists of the other CUE files specified
on the command line or a single package.
By default, the format of files is derived from the file extension.
This behavior may be modified with file arguments of the form <qualifiers>:
For instance,
cue eval foo.cue json: bar.data
indicates that the bar.data file should be interpreted as a JSON file.
A qualifier applies to all files following it until the next qualifier.
The following qualifiers are available:
encodings
cue CUE definitions and data
json JSON data, one value only
jsonl newline-separated JSON values
yaml a YAML file, may contain a stream
proto Protobuf definitions
interpretations
jsonschema data encoding describes JSON Schema
openapi data encoding describes Open API
formats
data output as -- or only accept -- data
graph data allowing references or anchors
schema output as schema; defaults JSON files to JSON Schema
def full definitions, including documentation
2. A list of relative directories to denote a package instance.
Each directory matching the pattern is loaded as a separate instance.
The instance contains all files in this directory and ancestor directories,
up to the module root, with the same package name. The package name must
be either uniquely determined by the files in the given directory, or
explicitly defined using a package name qualifier. For instance, ./...:foo
selects all packages named foo in the any subdirectory of the current
working directory.
3. An import path referring to a directory within the current module
All CUE files in that directory, and all the ancestor directories up to the
module root (if applicable), with a package name corresponding to the base
name of the directory or the optional explicit package name are loaded into
a single instance.
Examples, assume a module name of acme.org/root:
mod.test/foo package in cue.mod
./foo package corresponding to foo directory
.:bar package in current directory with package name bar

func DefaultTagVars() map[string]TagVar
DefaultTagVars creates a new map with a set of supported injection variables.
func GenPath(root string) string
GenPath reports the directory in which to store generated files.
func Instances(args []string, c *Config) []*build.Instance
Instances returns the instances named by the command line arguments 'args'. If errors occur trying to load an instance it is returned with Incomplete set. Errors directly related to loading the instance are recorded in this instance, but errors that occur loading dependencies are recorded in these dependencies.
A Config configures load behavior.
type Config struct { // Context specifies the context for the load operation. Context *build.Context // A Module is a collection of packages and instances that are within the // directory hierarchy rooted at the module root. The module root can be // marked with a cue.mod file. ModuleRoot string // Module specifies the module prefix. If not empty, this value must match // the module field of an existing cue.mod file. Module string // Package defines the name of the package to be loaded. If this is not set, // the package must be uniquely defined from its context. Special values: // _ load files without a package // * load all packages. Files without packages are loaded // in the _ package. Package string // Dir is the base directory for import path resolution. // For example, it is used to determine the main module, // and rooted import paths starting with "./" are relative to it. // If Dir is empty, the current directory is used. Dir string // Tags defines boolean tags or key-value pairs to select files to build // or be injected as values in fields. // // Each string is of the form // // key [ "=" value ] // // where key is a valid CUE identifier and value valid CUE scalar. // // The Tags values are used to both select which files get included in a // build and to inject values into the AST. // // // File selection // // Files with an attribute of the form @if(expr) before a package clause // are conditionally included if expr resolves to true, where expr refers to // boolean values in Tags. // // It is an error for a file to have more than one @if attribute or to // have a @if attribute without or after a package clause. // // // Value injection // // The Tags values are also used to inject values into fields with a // @tag attribute. // // For any field of the form // // field: x @tag(key) // // and Tags value for which the name matches key, the field will be // modified to // // field: x & "value" // // By default, the injected value is treated as a string. Alternatively, a // "type" option of the @tag attribute allows a value to be interpreted as // an int, number, or bool. For instance, for a field // // field: x @tag(key,type=int) // // an entry "key=2" modifies the field to // // field: x & 2 // // Valid values for type are "int", "number", "bool", and "string". // // A @tag attribute can also define shorthand values, which can be injected // into the fields without having to specify the key. For instance, for // // environment: string @tag(env,short=prod|staging) // // the Tags entry "prod" sets the environment field to the value "prod". // This is equivalent to a Tags entry of "env=prod". // // The use of @tag does not preclude using any of the usual CUE constraints // to limit the possible values of a field. For instance // // environment: "prod" | "staging" @tag(env,short=prod|staging) // // ensures the user may only specify "prod" or "staging". Tags []string // TagVars defines a set of key value pair the values of which may be // referenced by tags. // // Use DefaultTagVars to get a pre-loaded map with supported values. TagVars map[string]TagVar // Include all files, regardless of tags. AllCUEFiles bool // Deprecated: use Tags BuildTags []string // If Tests is set, the loader includes not just the packages // matching a particular pattern but also any related test packages. Tests bool // If Tools is set, the loader includes tool files associated with // a package. Tools bool // If DataFiles is set, the loader includes entries for directories that // have no CUE files, but have recognized data files that could be converted // to CUE. DataFiles bool // StdRoot specifies an alternative directory for standard libraries. // This is mostly used for bootstrapping. StdRoot string // ParseFile is called to read and parse each file when preparing a // package's syntax tree. It must be safe to call ParseFile simultaneously // from multiple goroutines.

ParseFile func(name string, src interface{}) (*ast.File, error) // Overlay provides a mapping of absolute file paths to file contents.

Stdin io.Reader // Registry is used to fetch CUE module dependencies. // // When nil, if the modules experiment is enabled // (CUE_EXPERIMENT=modules), [modconfig.NewRegistry] // will be used to create a registry instance using the // usual cmd/cue conventions for environment variables // (but see the Env field below). // // THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL. API MIGHT CHANGE. Registry modconfig.Registry // Env provides environment variables for use in the configuration. // Currently this is only used in the construction of the Registry // value (see above).
