+=head1 NAME
+
+MooseX::Getopt::Meta::Attribute::Trait - Optional meta attribute trait for custom option names
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ package App;
+ use Moose;
+
+ with 'MooseX::Getopt';
+
+ has 'data' => (
+ traits => [ 'Getopt' ],
+ is => 'ro',
+ isa => 'Str',
+ default => 'file.dat',
+
+ # tells MooseX::Getopt to use --somedata as the
+ # command line flag instead of the normal
+ # autogenerated one (--data)
+ cmd_flag => 'somedata',
+
+ # tells MooseX::Getopt to also allow --moosedata,
+ # -m, and -d as aliases for this same option on
+ # the commandline.
+ cmd_aliases => [qw/ moosedata m d /],
+
+ # Or, you can use a plain scalar for a single alias:
+ cmd_aliases => 'm',
+ );
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is a custom attribute metaclass trait which can be used to
+specify a the specific command line flag to use instead of the
+default one which L<MooseX::Getopt> will create for you.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+These methods are of little use to most users, they are used interally
+within L<MooseX::Getopt>.
