[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/74206b443c30f42c73208b91cbaaa1a3a1e2378378e36367dd0287890431c1a7/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f636c697068702f617267732e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/cliphp/args)

Library for command line arguments.

```
use Cliphp;

$args = new Args;

// Check for --help flag
if ($args->has('help')) {
    // show help message
}

// Get limit value
$limit = $args->get('limit') ?? 100;
```

### Notes

[](#notes)

The global `$argv` variable returns the script name (e.g. index.php) as the first value in the array. This library will shift the script name from the arguments list.

### Available Methods

[](#available-methods)

- `get(string $arg): mixed|null` Returns value of an argument or `NULL` if it doesn't exist.
- `has(string $arg): bool` Checks for existence of an argument
- `all(): array` Get all of the arguments
- `count(): int` Get count of arguments
