bool isInteractive()

Checks if the input is interactive.

setInteractive(bool $interactive)

Sets the input interactivity.

array getArguments()

Returns the argument values.

mixed getArgument(string $name)

Returns the argument value for a given argument name.

setArgument(string $name, string $value)

Sets an argument value by name.

bool hasArgument(string|int $name)

Returns true if an InputArgument object exists by name or position.

array getOptions()

Returns the options values.

mixed getOption(string $name)

Returns the option value for a given option name.

setOption(string $name, string|bool $value)

Sets an option value by name.

bool hasOption(string $name)

Returns true if an InputOption object exists by name.

string escapeToken(string $token)

Escapes a token through escapeshellarg if it contains unsafe chars.
