Detailed Description

template<class T>
class TCLAP::MultiArg< T >

An argument that allows multiple values of type T to be specified.

Very similar to a ValueArg, except a vector of values will be returned instead of just one.

Constructor.

Parameters

flag	- The one character flag that identifies this argument on the command line.
name	- A one word name for the argument. Can be used as a long flag on the command line.
desc	- A description of what the argument is for or does.
req	- Whether the argument is required on the command line.
typeDesc	- A short, human readable description of the type that this object expects. This is used in the generation of the USAGE statement. The goal is to be helpful to the end user of the program.
v	- An optional visitor. You probably should not use this unless you have a very good reason.
