Instead of positional arguments, make flags?

[esamorodnitsky]

For the batch files and the Rscripts, the arguments are positional (ie. first position, second position, third position, etc.). Maybe, instead to make the arguments more descriptive, (eg. --reg, --name, --user, etc.). It is good practice to have appropriately named flags and descriptions of each flag.

I don't know if this is possible in Linux or R, but when I write my Python scripts, when I create named flags, the Python script can be executed without arguments and the script will display each flag and what it does.
