+# Using ArgumentParser Tools
+
+Learn how to provide input to command-line tools built with `ArgumentParser`.
+
+## Overview
+
+Tools built with `ArgumentParser` can accept positional arguments, named
+options, and flags. The tool's help screen describes the inputs it supports;
+run a tool with the `--help` flag to display it.
+
+### Separating Options from Positional Arguments
+
+Use the `--` option terminator when a positional value starts with a dash and
+could otherwise be interpreted as an option or flag. A tool stops recognizing
+options and flags after `--` and treats every remaining input as positional.
+The terminator itself isn't included in the parsed values:
+
+```
+% example --verbose -- file1.swift file2.swift --other
+Verbose: true, files: ["file1.swift", "file2.swift", "--other"]
+```
+
+This convention also lets you pass a positional value that has the same
+spelling as a declared option or flag. In the following example, `--verbose`
+is stored in `files` instead of setting the `verbose` flag:
+
+```
+% example -- --verbose file1.swift
+Verbose: false, files: ["--verbose", "file1.swift"]
+```
