what does the flag means in tensorflow?

I am a new at tensorflow, and I have read some code from its website. I was wondering what is the FLAGS means in the code?

for example, in line 78 of fully_connected_feed.py, the inputs are FLAGS.batch_size, FLAGS.fake_data. Then I read this in the definition of FLAGS:

# Basic model parameters as external flags.
FLAGS = None

I was confused about this variable.

Is used to store command line parameters. Checkout these lines:

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument(
      '--learning_rate',
      type=float,
      default=0.01,
      help='Initial learning rate.'
  )
... 
FLAGS, unparsed = parser.parse_known_args()

You can also see it lets you define default values and create a help description on the command line so others know what parameters accepts your cli without having to look at the code.
