Properties

optional
--: boolean

When true, populate the result _ with everything before the -- and the result ['--'] with everything after the --. Here's an example:

     // $ deno run example.ts -- a arg1
     import { parse } from "./mod.ts";
     console.dir(parse(Deno.args, { "--": false }));
     // output: { _: [ "a", "arg1" ] }
     console.dir(parse(Deno.args, { "--": true }));
     // output: { _: [], --: [ "a", "arg1" ] }

Defaults to false.
