Stowage

Needed information for generation:

  • short option
  • long option
  • short description (for usage ouput)
  • long description (for manpage output)

Option Parsing

Parsed from left to right.

Types

  • Short option
  • Long option
  • Argument to option
  • Non-option parameter (default argument)

Short Option

'-' followed by short option character. If option has required argument, directly after OR separated by white-space. Optional argument must be directly after the option character.

Possible to write several short options after one '-', if all (except last) do not have required or optional arguments.

Long Option

'–' followed by long option name. If option has a required argument, directly after, separated by '' OR white-space. Optional argument must be directly after the option, separated by ''.

Non-option Parameter

Each parameter not starting with '-' and not a required argument of a previous option, is a non-option parameter.

Each parameter after a '–' parameter is always interpreted as a non-option parameter.

Examples

./stowage -Fals
./stowage -F -a -l -s

./stowage --file --add --pull --push

./stowage -r filename
./stowage -rfilename
./stowage --remove=filename
./stowage --remove filename

./stowage --remove filename other stuff
./stowage --remove filename -- other stuff

Multiple of the same options

./stowage -e pattern1 -epattern2 --regexp=pattern3 --regexp pattern4

TODO

  • after first non option, go into no-option mode
  • support '–' to go into no-option mode
  • add multi-option support, vectors!
  • support argument parsing + storing
  • add addOption overloads
  • generate usage string
  • generate man page string
  • parse() function to return bool true if any error has occured
