```
public static CommandLine.ParseResult.Builder builder(CommandLine.Model.CommandSpec commandSpec)
```
    Creates and returns a new ParseResult.Builder for the specified command spec.
  - findMatches
```
public List<CommandLine.ParseResult.GroupMatchContainer> findMatches(CommandLine.Model.ArgGroupSpec group)
```
    Returns the matches for the specified argument group.
    
    Since:
    
    4.0
  - getGroupMatches
```
public List<CommandLine.ParseResult.GroupMatch> getGroupMatches()
```
    Returns the top-level container for the ArgGroupSpec match or matches found.
    If the user input was a valid combination of group arguments, the returned list should contain a single match. Details of the matched groups encountered on the command line can be obtained via its matchedSubgroups() method. The top-level match returned by this method contains no matched arguments.
    If the returned list contains more than one match, the user input was invalid: the maximum multiplicity of a group was exceeded, and the parser created an extra match to capture the values. Usually this results in a ParameterException being thrown by the parse method, unless the parser is configured to collect errors.

  - matchedOption
```
public CommandLine.Model.OptionSpec matchedOption(char shortName)
```
    Returns the option with the specified short name, or null if no option with that name was matched on the command line.
    Use getValue on the returned OptionSpec to get the matched value (or values), converted to the type of the option. Alternatively, use stringValues to get the matched String values after they were split into parts, or originalStringValues to get the original String values that were matched on the command line, before any processing.
    To get the default value of an option that was notmatched on the command line, use parseResult.commandSpec().findOption(shortName).getValue().

Alternatively, use stringValues to get the matched String values after they were split into parts, or originalStringValues to get the original String values that were matched on the command line, before any processing.
    To get the default value of an option that was notmatched on the command line, use parseResult.commandSpec().findOption(String).getValue().
    
    Parameters:
