+## Add new switch type of argument to the object @var{parser} of inputParser class.
+##
+## This method belongs to the inputParser class and implements a switch
+## arguments type of API.
+##
+## @var{argname} must be a string with the name of the new argument. Arguments
+## of this type can be specified at the end, after @code{Required} and @code{Optional},
+## and mixed between the @code{ParamValue}. They default to false. If one of the
+## arguments supplied is a string like @var{argname}, then after parsing the value
+## of @var{parse}.Results.@var{argname} will be true.
+##
+## See @command{help inputParser} for examples.
