Traditional use of options using their shortnames look like this:
```sh-session
$ cmd -s -o -m "Some message"
```
Suppose you want users to be able to combine options with their shortnames. This
can be done using the `UseShortOptionHandling` bool in your app configuration,
or for individual commands by attaching it to the command configuration. For
example:
<!-- {
"args": ["short", "-som", "Some message"],
"output": "serve: true\noption: true\nmessage: Some message\n"
} -->
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"github.com/urfave/cli/v2"
)
func main() {
app := &cli.App{
UseShortOptionHandling: true,
Commands: []*cli.Command{
{
Name: "short",
Usage: "complete a task on the list",
Flags: []cli.Flag{
&cli.BoolFlag{Name: "serve", Aliases: []string{"s"}},
&cli.BoolFlag{Name: "option", Aliases: []string{"o"}},
&cli.StringFlag{Name: "message", Aliases: []string{"m"}},
},
Action: func(cCtx *cli.Context) error {
fmt.Println("serve:", cCtx.Bool("serve"))
fmt.Println("option:", cCtx.Bool("option"))
fmt.Println("message:", cCtx.String("message"))
return nil
},
},
},
}
if err := app.Run(os.Args); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
```
If your program has any number of bool flags such as `serve` and `option`, and
optionally one non-bool flag `message`, with the short options of `-s`, `-o`,
and `-m` respectively, setting `UseShortOptionHandling` will also support the
following syntax:
```sh-session
$ cmd -som "Some message"
```
If you enable `UseShortOptionHandling`, then you must not use any flags that
have a single leading `-` or this will result in failures. For example,
`-option` can no longer be used. Flags with two leading dashes (such as
`--options`) are still valid.
