tf.app.run()

在很多TensorFlow公布的Demo中，都有这样的代码存在，如下，这是干什么的呢？

if __name__ == "__main__":
    tf.app.run() 

我们来看一下源代码：

import sys

from tensorflow.python.platform import flags


def run(main=None):
  f = flags.FLAGS
  f._parse_flags()
  main = main or sys.modules['__main__'].main
  sys.exit(main(sys.argv))

处理flag解析，然后执行main函数，那么flag解析是什么意思呢？诸如这样的：

tf.app.flags.DEFINE_boolean("self_test", False, "True if running a self test.")
tf.app.flags.DEFINE_boolean('use_fp16', False,
                            "Use half floats instead of full floats if True.")
FLAGS = tf.app.flags.FLAGS
