             String originalValue)
```
    Constructs a new Range object with the specified parameters.
    
    Parameters:
    
    min - minimum number of required parameters
    
    max - maximum number of allowed parameters (or Integer.MAX_VALUE if variable)
    
    variable - true if any number or parameters is allowed, false otherwise
    
    unspecified - true if no arity was specified on the option/parameter (value is based on type)
    
    originalValue - the original value that was specified on the option or parameter

  - optionArity
```
public static CommandLine.Range optionArity(Field field)
```
    Returns a new Range based on the CommandLine.Option.arity() annotation on the specified field, or the field type's default arity if no arity was specified.
    
    Parameters:
    
    field - the field whose Option annotation to inspect
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Range based on the Option arity annotation on the specified field
  - parameterArity
```
public static CommandLine.Range parameterArity(Field field)
```
    Returns a new Range based on the CommandLine.Parameters.arity() annotation on the specified field, or the field type's default arity if no arity was specified.
    
    Parameters:
    
    field - the field whose Parameters annotation to inspect
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Range based on the Parameters arity annotation on the specified field
  - parameterIndex
```
public static CommandLine.Range parameterIndex(Field field)
```
    Returns a new Range based on the CommandLine.Parameters.index() annotation on the specified field.
    
    Parameters:
    
    field - the field whose Parameters annotation to inspect
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Range based on the Parameters index annotation on the specified field
  - defaultArity
```
public static CommandLine.Range defaultArity(Field field)
```
    Returns the default arity Range: for interactive options/positional parameters, this is 0; for options this is effectively "0..1" for booleans and 1 for other types, for parameters booleans have arity 1, arrays or Collections have arity "0..*", and other types have arity 1.
    Implementation Notes
    
    The returned Range for boolean options has an effective arity of "0..1". This is implemented by returning a Range with arity "0", and its unspecified property set to true. This implementation may change in the future.
    
    Parameters:
    
    field - the field whose default arity to return
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Range indicating the default arity of the specified field

  - defaultArity
```
@Deprecated
public static CommandLine.Range defaultArity(Class<?> type)
```
    Deprecated.
    use defaultArity(Field) instead
    
    Returns the default arity Range for options: booleans have arity 0, other types have arity 1.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the type whose default arity to return
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Range indicating the default arity of the specified type
  - valueOf
```
public static CommandLine.Range valueOf(String range)
```
    Leniently parses the specified String as a Range value and return the result. A range string can be a fixed integer value or a range of the form MIN_VALUE + ".." + MAX_VALUE. If the MIN_VALUE string is not numeric, the minimum is zero. If the MAX_VALUE is not numeric, the range is taken to be variable and the maximum is Integer.MAX_VALUE.
    
    Parameters:
    
    range - the value range string to parse
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Range value
