## Usage
As a first step define a struct holding your configuration:
A very simple usecase is to just configure a struct inside the vars section of your `main.go` and to parse the commandline flags from the `main()` function:
```go
type config struct {
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/Luzifer/rconfig"
)
var (
cfg = struct {
Username string `default:"unknown" flag:"user" description:"Your name"`
Details struct {
Age int `default:"25" flag:"age" env:"age" description:"Your age"`
}
}
```
}{}
)
Next create an instance of that struct and let `rconfig` fill that config:
```go
var cfg config
func init() {
cfg = config{}
rconfig.Parse(&cfg)
}
```
You're ready to access your configuration:
```go
func main() {
rconfig.Parse(&cfg)
fmt.Printf("Hello %s, happy birthday for your %dth birthday.",
cfg.Username,
cfg.Details.Age)
