//! \ingroup OpenMaya
//! \brief Syntax for Commands. 
/*!
This class is used to specify flags and arguments passed to commands.
Once the syntax of the command has been defined by calls to the methods
in this class, Maya will be able to automatically parse invocations
of the command and reject syntactically invalid ones.  When the <i>doIt</i>
method of the command is invoked, the provided argument list can be
parsed automatically into an instance of either the MArgDatabase class
(for commands) or MArgParser class (for context commands) by
passing the constructor for that class both the argument list and the
syntax object for the command.

There are three type of arguments that can be specified via these syntax
methods:

	\li <b>flags arguments</b> preceded by a '-' character.
	\li <b>command arguments</b> required parameters that follow the flags
	\li <b>objects</b> an optional list of Maya objects or the contents
						  of the selection list.


<b>Note:</b> <i>command arguments</i> and <i>objects</i> are incompatible
and must not be combined in the syntax definition of a command.  If an
attempt is made to do so, neither command arguments or objects will be
accessible via the MArgDatabase or MArgParser classes.

The <i>addFlag</i> method is used to add a flag argument to a command.
Flags need to have a <i>type</i> specified for them from the list of
available types in the MArgType enum and can take up to six parameters.
Flags can be set as being allowed multiple times on the command line
be calling the <i>makeFlagMultiUse</i> method.

The <i>addArg</i> method is used to add a command argument to a command.
Such arguments must also have a <i>type</i> specified for them from the list of
available types in the MArgType enum.  If you specify an argument via
this call, Maya will reject an invocation of the command as being
syntactically invalid if an argument of the correct type is not provided.
If the type <i>kSelectionItem</i> is provided, Maya will include the
contents of the selection list as the argument to the command.

The <i>setObjectType</i> method is used to specify that the command requires
an object list.  Parameters to this method allow you to specify minimum
and maximum numbers of objects.  As well, if the <i>useSelectionAsDefault</i>
method is used in conjunction with this, Maya will use the contents of the
selection list as the objects for the command if none are specified.

The documentation for the MArgDatabase and MArgParser classes describe how
to access the parsed information for a command inside the doIt method of
that command.
