- * <p>
- * CommandLine interpreter that uses reflection to initialize an annotated domain object with values obtained from the

- * </p><h2>Example</h2>
- * <pre>import static picocli.CommandLine.*;
- *
- * &#064;Command(header = "Encrypt FILE(s), or standard input, to standard output or to the output file.")
- * public class Encrypt {
- *
- *     &#064;Parameters(type = File.class, description = "Any number of input files")
- *     private List&lt;File&gt; files = new ArrayList&lt;File&gt;();
- *
- *     &#064;Option(names = { "-o", "--out" }, description = "Output file (default: print to console)")
- *     private File outputFile;
- *
- *     &#064;Option(names = { "-v", "--verbose"}, description = "Verbosely list files processed")

- *     private boolean help;
- * }
- * </pre>
- * <p>
- * Use {@code CommandLine} to initialize a domain object as follows:
- * </p><pre>
- * public static void main(String... args) {
- *     try {
- *         Encrypt encrypt = CommandLine.populateCommand(new Encrypt(), args);
- *         if (encrypt.help) {

- *         }
- *     } catch (ParameterException ex) { // command line arguments could not be parsed
- *         System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
- *         CommandLine.usage(new Encrypt(), System.err);
- *     }
- * }
- * </pre><p>
- * Invoke the above program with some command line arguments. The below are all equivalent:
- * </p>
- * <pre>
- * --verbose --out=outfile in1 in2
- * --verbose --out outfile in1 in2
- * -v --out=outfile in1 in2
