If more than one '=' is present, the first is used. In order to include commas in your arguments, specify an alternate delimiter using the following syntax: ^DELIM^flag value, with comma where _DELIM_ is a sequence of one or more characters that may not appear in any value in the list. NOTE: In cmd.exe and PowerShell on Windows, `^` is a special character and you must escape it by repeating it. In the following examples, every time you see `^`, replace it with `^^^^`. """, 'EXAMPLES': """\ In these examples, a list-type or dictionary-type flag is given, along with a shell comment explaining how it is parsed. The parsed flags are shown here using Python-style list or dict formats (in other languages, what Python calls "dicts" are often called "associative arrays," "maps," or "hashes"). Basic example: --list-flag=^:^a,b:c,d # => ['a,b', 'c,d'] Multi-character delimiters are allowed: --list-flag=^--^a-,b--c # => ['a-,b', 'c'] Just one '^' has no special meaning: --list-flag=^a,b,c # => ['^a', 'b', 'c'] This is an alternative way of starting with '^': --list-flag=^,^^a,b,c # => ['^a', 'b', 'c'] A '^' anywhere but the start has no special meaning: --list-flag=a^:^,b,c # => ['a^:^', 'b', 'c'] Dictionary-type arguments work exactly the same as list-type arguments: --dict-flag=^:^a=b,c:d=f,g # => {'a': 'b,c', 'd': 'f,g'} To reserve ephemeral IP addresses, passed in as a list, which are being used by virtual machine instances in the us-central1 region, run: $ gcloud compute addresses create \ --addresses ^:^123.456.789.198:22.333.146.189:789.312.645 \ --region us-central1 To create a Google Compute Engine virtual machine instance with metadata as a list ({'key1': '"value1"', 'key2': 'value2', 'key3': 'value3Index1,value3Index2', 'key4': 'value4'), run: $ gcloud compute instances create example-instance1 \ --metadata ^:^key1="value1":key2=value2:key3=value3Index1,value3Index2,valueIndex3:key4=value4 """, }
