{description}
*gcloud* supports list-type and dictionary-type flags that take one
argument which is a list of one or more comma-separated items:
--list-flag=value1,value2,value3
--dict-flag=key1=value1,key2=value2
In the case of a dict-type flag, each item is a key-value pair
separated by '='. If more than one '=' is present, the first is used.
In order to include commas in your arguments, specify an alternate
delimiter using the following syntax:
^DELIM^flag value, with comma
where _DELIM_ is a sequence of one or more characters that may not
appear in any value in the list.
NOTE: In cmd.exe and PowerShell on Windows, `^` is a special character
and you must escape it by repeating it. In the following examples,
every time you see `^`, replace it with `^^^^`.

'EXAMPLES': """\
In these examples, a list-type or dictionary-type flag is given, along
with a shell comment explaining how it is parsed. The parsed flags are
shown here using Python-style list or dict formats (in other
languages, what Python calls "dicts" are often called "associative
arrays," "maps," or "hashes").
Basic example:
--list-flag=^:^a,b:c,d # => ['a,b', 'c,d']
Multi-character delimiters are allowed:
--list-flag=^--^a-,b--c # => ['a-,b', 'c']
Just one '^' has no special meaning:
--list-flag=^a,b,c # => ['^a', 'b', 'c']
This is an alternative way of starting with '^':
--list-flag=^,^^a,b,c # => ['^a', 'b', 'c']
A '^' anywhere but the start has no special meaning:
--list-flag=a^:^,b,c # => ['a^:^', 'b', 'c']
Dictionary-type arguments work exactly the same as list-type
arguments:
--dict-flag=^:^a=b,c:d=f,g # => {'a': 'b,c', 'd': 'f,g'}
To reserve ephemeral IP addresses, passed in as a list, which are
being used by virtual machine instances in the us-central1 region,
run:
$ gcloud compute addresses create \
--addresses ^:^123.456.789.198:22.333.146.189:789.312.645 \
--region us-central1
To create a Google Compute Engine virtual machine instance
with metadata as a list ({'key1': '"value1"', 'key2': 'value2',
'key3': 'value3Index1,value3Index2', 'key4': 'value4'), run:
$ gcloud compute instances create example-instance1 \
--metadata ^:^key1="value1":key2=value2:key3=value3Index1,value3Index2,valueIndex3:key4=value4
