std::string TCLAP::Arg::_flag [protected, inherited]

The single char flag used to identify the argument.

This value (preceded by a dash {-}), can be used to identify an argument on the command line. The _flag can be blank, in fact this is how unlabeled args work. Unlabeled args must override appropriate functions to get correct handling. Note that the _flag does NOT include the dash as part of the flag.

This value (preceded by two dashed {--}) can also be used to identify an argument on the command line. Note that the _name does NOT include the two dashes as part of the _name. The _name cannot be blank.
