pflag, while mostly great for our usecase in the tuf package, expects getopt-style flags, which means it doesn't support the Golang standard of using single and double dashes interchangeably for flags. (e.g., pflag cannot parse
-config
, but Golang treats-config
the same as--config
.)This PR transforms all single-dash args to double-dashes so that pflag can parse them as expected.
