3You can use `--` to escape further arguments.

5Let's see what this looks like in the help:
6```console
7$ escaped-positional --help
8clap [..]
9A simple to use, efficient, and full-featured Command Line Argument Parser
10
11USAGE:
12    escaped-positional[EXE] [OPTIONS] [-- <SLOP>...]
13
14ARGS:
15    <SLOP>...
16
17OPTIONS:
18    -f
19    -h, --help       Print help information
20    -p <PEAR>
21    -V, --version    Print version information
22
23```
24
25Here is a baseline without any arguments:
26```console
27$ escaped-positional
28-f used: false
29-p's value: None
30'slops' values: []
31
32```
33
34Notice that we can't pass positional arguments before `--`:
35```console
36$ escaped-positional foo bar
37? failed
38error: Found argument 'foo' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context
39
40USAGE:
41    escaped-positional[EXE] [OPTIONS] [-- <SLOP>...]
42
43For more information try --help
44
45```
46
47But you can after:
48```console
49$ escaped-positional -f -p=bob -- sloppy slop slop
50-f used: true
51-p's value: Some("bob")
52'slops' values: ["sloppy", "slop", "slop"]
53
54```
55
56As mentioned, the parser will directly pass everything through:
57```console
58$ escaped-positional -- -f -p=bob sloppy slop slop
59-f used: false
60-p's value: None
61'slops' values: ["-f", "-p=bob", "sloppy", "slop", "slop"]
62
63```
