Creating a config file with specified parameters

I want to create a config file that has parameters that can be specified using - or -- (without an equals sign), as well as the ability to output the file using - or --. Could somebody point me to a generic script to do this? Say for example, I wanted to run MainScript and have it set alpha to 2 and beta to 3 in config.cfg by saying

MainScript --alpha 2 --beta 3 --output config.cfg

and have it also work by saying

MainScript -a 2 -b 3 -o config.cfg

So then if I open config.cfg it has

alpha = 2
beta = 3

The input values for alpha and beta can be any positive integer, and these are just arbitrary names. I want to be able to eventually set default values for alpha and beta, as well.

Thanks!

If value is omitted, then it sets it to "true". get npm config get key Echo the config value to stdout. list npm config list Show all the config settings. Use -l to also show defaults. Use --json to show the settings in json format. delete npm config delete key Deletes the key from all configuration files. edit npm config edit Opens the config file in an editor.
