I tested on FreeBSD and OpenBSD only. I assumed it would just work.

I'll install DragonFly and test it there.

Hi @medvednikov Did you fix #1004?

[medvednikov]

@lhmwzy can you try again please?

Hi Alex,
thank You for implementing sane (POSIG/GNU) flags! In golang I always have to use non standard library pflag library.

[Chiiruno]

Great work!
Do you plan on adding this release to the releases page on this repo?

[medvednikov]

@Chiiruno done

There are no pre-built binaries right now, they have to built from source. But it's very easy to do (git clone + make).

Could you please add the notes to the releases in the future?
