reformat package comment to work around golint issue
Revive has a bug where it doesn't properly handle multiline comments using `/**/` on Windows: Error: flag.go:109:1: package-comments: package comment is detached; there should be no blank lines between it and the package statement (revive) analogous to the top-level functions for the command-line ^ This patch reformats the comment to use line-comments instead.

pflag is a drop-in replacement of Go's native flag package. If you import
16-
pflag under the name "flag" then all code should continue to function
17-
with no changes.
18-
19-
import flag "github.com/spf13/pflag"
20-
21-
There is one exception to this: if you directly instantiate the Flag struct
22-
there is one more field "Shorthand" that you will need to set.
23-
Most code never instantiates this struct directly, and instead uses
24-
functions such as String(), BoolVar(), and Var(), and is therefore
25-
unaffected.
26-
27-
Define flags using flag.String(), Bool(), Int(), etc.
28-
29-
This declares an integer flag, -flagname, stored in the pointer ip, with type *int.
30-
31-
var ip = flag.Int("flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
32-
33-
If you like, you can bind the flag to a variable using the Var() functions.
34-
35-
var flagvar int
36-
func init() {
37-
flag.IntVar(&flagvar, "flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
38-
}
39-
40-
Or you can create custom flags that satisfy the Value interface (with
41-
pointer receivers) and couple them to flag parsing by
42-
43-
flag.Var(&flagVal, "name", "help message for flagname")
44-
45-
For such flags, the default value is just the initial value of the variable.
46-
47-
After all flags are defined, call
48-
49-
flag.Parse()
50-
51-
to parse the command line into the defined flags.
52-
53-
Flags may then be used directly. If you're using the flags themselves,
54-
they are all pointers; if you bind to variables, they're values.
55-
56-
fmt.Println("ip has value ", *ip)
57-
fmt.Println("flagvar has value ", flagvar)
58-
59-
After parsing, the arguments after the flag are available as the
60-
slice flag.Args() or individually as flag.Arg(i).
61-
The arguments are indexed from 0 through flag.NArg()-1.
62-
63-
The pflag package also defines some new functions that are not in flag,
64-
that give one-letter shorthands for flags. You can use these by appending
65-
'P' to the name of any function that defines a flag.
66-
67-
var ip = flag.IntP("flagname", "f", 1234, "help message")
68-
var flagvar bool
69-
func init() {
70-
flag.BoolVarP(&flagvar, "boolname", "b", true, "help message")
71-
}
72-
flag.VarP(&flagval, "varname", "v", "help message")
73-
74-
Shorthand letters can be used with single dashes on the command line.
75-
Boolean shorthand flags can be combined with other shorthand flags.
76-
77-
Command line flag syntax:
78-
79-
--flag // boolean flags only
80-
--flag=x
81-
82-
Unlike the flag package, a single dash before an option means something
83-
different than a double dash. Single dashes signify a series of shorthand
84-
letters for flags. All but the last shorthand letter must be boolean flags.
85-
86-
// boolean flags
87-
-f
88-
-abc
89-
// non-boolean flags
90-
-n 1234
91-
-Ifile
92-
// mixed
93-
-abcs "hello"
94-
-abcn1234
95-
96-
Flag parsing stops after the terminator "--". Unlike the flag package,
97-
flags can be interspersed with arguments anywhere on the command line
98-
before this terminator.
99-
100-
Integer flags accept 1234, 0664, 0x1234 and may be negative.
101-
Boolean flags (in their long form) accept 1, 0, t, f, true, false,
102-
TRUE, FALSE, True, False.
103-
Duration flags accept any input valid for time.ParseDuration.
104-
105-
The default set of command-line flags is controlled by
106-
top-level functions. The FlagSet type allows one to define
107-
independent sets of flags, such as to implement subcommands
108-
in a command-line interface. The methods of FlagSet are
109-
analogous to the top-level functions for the command-line
110-
flag set.
