 CommandOption is the base class for all command line options. More...
class  CommandOptionWithArg
 Derived class of CommandOption for options that have a value associated with them. More...
class  CommandOptionArg
 Class for options with an argument e.g. More...
class  CommandOptionRest
 It only makes sense to have a single one of these set and it is exclusive with CommandOptionCollect. CommandOption to take the rest of the command line. More...

Functions

__EXPORT CommandOptionParsemakeCommandOptionParse (int argc, char **argv, char *comment, CommandOption *options=defaultCommandOptionList)
 makeCommandOptionParse will create an implementation of a CommandOptionParse object.

Variables

__EXPORT CommandOptiondefaultCommandOptionList
 This defines a linked list head pointer for all the command line options that use the default list.


Detailed Description

Command line option parsing interface.


Function Documentation

__EXPORT CommandOptionParse* makeCommandOptionParse int  argc,
char **  argv,
char *  comment,
CommandOption options = defaultCommandOptionList
 

makeCommandOptionParse will create an implementation of a CommandOptionParse object.

This particular implementation is a wrapper around getopt_long(3). That interface unfortunatly does not provide enough information to give the best error messages with malformed input. If the implementation changes there is a good chance that the binary interface will remain the same.

Examples:
cmdlineopt.cpp.


Variable Documentation

__EXPORT CommandOption* defaultCommandOptionList
 

This defines a linked list head pointer for all the command line options that use the default list.

It will most likely be used in most cases without being explicitly referenced in application code. It is a default value of various method's parameters.
