232+ It is also possible to let an argument take a list of values (imagine you want
233+ to greet all your friends). For this it must be specified at the end of the
234+ argument list::
235+
236+ $this
237+ // ...
238+ ->addArgument(
239+ 'names',
240+ InputArgument::IS_ARRAY,
241+ 'Who do you want to greet (separate multiple names with a space)?'
242+ );
243+
244+ You can now access the ``names `` argument as an array::
245+
246+ if ($names = $input->getArgument('names')) {
247+ $text .= ''.implode(', ', $names);
248+ }
249+
250+ There are 3 argument variants you can use:
251+
252+ =========================== =================================================================================================
253+ Option Value
254+ =========================== =================================================================================================
255+ InputArgument::REQUIRED The argument is required
256+ InputArgument::OPTIONAL The argument is optional and therefore can be omitted
257+ InputArgument::IS_ARRAY Allows to specify an indefinite number of arguments, must be used at the end of the argument list
258+ =========================== =================================================================================================
259+
260+ You can combine IS_ARRAY with REQUIRED and OPTIONAL like this::
261+
262+ $this
263+ // ...
264+ ->addArgument(
265+ 'names',
266+ InputArgument::IS_ARRAY | InputArgument::REQUIRED,
267+ 'Who do you want to greet (separate multiple names with a space)?'
268+ );
