    \class QCommandLineOption
    \brief The QCommandLineOption class defines a possible command-line option.
    \inmodule QtCore
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup tools
 
    This class is used to describe an option on the command line. It allows
    different ways of defining the same option with multiple aliases possible.
    It is also used to describe how the option is used - it may be a flag (e.g. \c{-v})
    or take a value (e.g. \c{-o file}).
 
    Examples:
    \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qcommandlineoption.cpp 0
 
    \sa QCommandLineParser
*/
 
/*!
    \fn QCommandLineOption &QCommandLineOption::operator=(QCommandLineOption &&other)

    The name can be either short or long. If the name is one character in
    length, it is considered a short name. Option names must not be empty,

    \value ShortOptionStyle The option will always be understood as a short
    option, regardless of what was set by
    QCommandLineParser::setSingleDashWordOptionMode.
    This allows flags such as \c{-DDEFINE=VALUE} or \c{-I/include/path} to be
    interpreted as short flags even when the parser is in
