#### Placeholder Values
Sometimes it's useful to specify a flag's value within the usage string itself. Such placeholders are
indicated with back quotes.
For example this:
```go
cli.StringFlag{
Name: "config, c",
Usage: "Load configuration from `FILE`",
}
```
Will result in help output like:
```
--config FILE, -c FILE Load configuration from FILE
```
Note that only the first placeholder is used. Subsequent back-quoted words will be left as-is.
#### Alternate Names
You can set alternate (or short) names for flags by providing a comma-delimited list for the `Name`. e.g.

flag.go
