Various settings that apply to arguments and may be set, unset, and checked via getter/setter methods Arg::setting, Arg::unset_setting, and Arg::is_set. This is what the Arg methods which accept a bool use internally.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Builder: replace arg.setting(Hidden) with arg.hide(true)

TakesValue

Deprecated, replaced with Arg::takes_value and Arg::is_takes_value_set

Derive: this setting shouldn’t be needed

Builder: replace arg.setting(TakesValue) with arg.takes_value(true)

UseValueDelimiter

Deprecated, replaced with Arg::use_value_delimiter and Arg::is_use_value_delimiter_set

Derive: replace #[clap(setting = UseValueDelimiter)] with #[clap(use_value_delimiter = true)]

AllowInvalidUtf8

Deprecated, replaced with Arg::value_parser

Builder: replace arg.setting(AllowInvalidUtf8) with arg.value_parser(value_parser!(T)) where T is the type of interest, like OsString or PathBuf, and matches.value_of_os with matches.get_one::<T> or matches.values_of_os with matches.get_many::<T>
