tf.compat.v1.flags.DEFINE

Registers a generic Flag object.

tf.compat.v1.flags.DEFINE(
    parser,
    name,
    default,
    help,
    flag_values=_flagvalues.FLAGS,
    serializer=None,
    module_name=None,
    required=False,
    **args
)

Note: in the docstrings of all DEFINE* functions, "registers" is short for "creates a new flag and registers it".

Auxiliary function: clients should use the specialized DEFINE_<type> function instead.

Args
parser	:class:ArgumentParser, used to parse the flag arguments.
name	str, the flag name.
default	The default value of the flag.
help	str, the help message.
flag_values	:class:FlagValues, the FlagValues instance with which the flag will be registered. This should almost never need to be overridden.
serializer	:class:ArgumentSerializer, the flag serializer instance.
module_name	str, the name of the Python module declaring this flag. If not provided, it will be computed using the stack trace of this call.
required	bool, is this a required flag. This must be used as a keyword argument.
**args	dict, the extra keyword args that are passed to Flag.__init__.

Returns
a handle to defined flag.
