Supports short (e.g. `-f`) and long (e.g. `--foo`) * options, optional and mandatory arguments, automatic parsing arguments for * integer types and comma-separated list of key=value pairs, and multi-value * arguments. It handles help text generation automatically. * * An OptionsParser instance is initialized by adding supported options with * addOption(). Options are specified by an identifier and a name. If the * identifier is an alphanumeric character, it will be used by the parser as a * short option identifier (e.g. `-f`). The name, if specified, will be used as * a long option identifier (e.g. `--foo`). It should not include the double * dashes. The name is optional if the option identifier is an alphanumeric * character and mandatory otherwise. * * An option has a mandatory help text, which is used to print the full options * list with the usage() function. The help text may be a multi-line string. * Correct indentation of the help text is handled automatically. * * Options accept arguments when created with OptionArgument::ArgumentRequired * or OptionArgument::ArgumentOptional. If the argument is required, it can be * specified as a positional argument after the option (e.g. `-f bar`, * `--foo bar`), collated with the short option (e.g. `-fbar`) or separated from * the long option by an equal sign (e.g. `--foo=bar`'). When the argument is * optional, it must be collated with the short option or separated from the * long option by an equal sign. * * If an option has a required or optional argument, an argument name must be * set when adding the option. The argument name is used in the help text as a * place holder for an argument value. For instance, a `--write` option that * takes a file name as an argument could set the argument name to `filename`, * and the help text would display `--write filename`. This is only used to * clarify the help text and has no effect on option parsing. * * The option type tells the parser how to process the argument. Arguments for * string options (OptionType::OptionString) are stored as-is without any * processing. Arguments for integer options (OptionType::OptionInteger) are * converted to an integer value, using an optional base prefix (`0` for base 8, * `0x` for base 16, none for base 10). Arguments for key-value options are * parsed by a KeyValueParser given to addOption(). * * By default, a given option can appear once only in the parsed command line. * If the option is created as an array option, the parser will accept multiple * instances of the option. The order in which identical options are specified * is preserved in the values of an array option. * * After preparing the parser, it can be used any number of times to parse * command line options with the parse() function. The function returns an * Options instance that stores the values for the parsed options. The * Options::isSet() function can be used to test if an option has been found, * and is the only way to access options that take no argument (specified by * OptionType::OptionNone and OptionArgument::ArgumentNone). For options that * accept an argument, the option value can be access by Options::operator[]() * using the option identifier as the key. The order in which different options * are specified on the command line isn't preserved. * * Options can be created with parent-child relationships to organize them as a * tree instead of a flat list. When parsing a command line, the child options * are considered related to the parent option that precedes them. This is * useful when the parent is an array option. The Options values list generated * by the parser then turns into a tree, which each parent value storing the * values of child options that follow that instance of the parent option. * For instance, with a `capture` option specified as a child of a `camera` * array option, parsing the command line * * `--camera 1 --capture=10 --camera 2 --capture=20` * * will return an Options instance containing a single OptionValue instance of * array type, for the `camera` option. The OptionValue will contain two * entries, with the first entry containing the integer value 1 and the second * entry the integer value 2. Each of those entries will in turn store an * Options instance that contains the respective children. The first entry will * store in its children a `capture` option of value 10, and the second entry a * `capture` option of value 20. * * The command line * * `--capture=10 --camera 1` * * would result in a parsing error, as the `capture` option has no preceding * `camera` option on the command line. */ /** * \class OptionsParser::Options * \brief An option list generated by the options parser * * This is a specialization of OptionsBase with the option reference type set to * int. */ OptionsParser::OptionsParser() = default; OptionsParser::~OptionsParser() = default; /** * \brief Add an option to the parser * \param[in] opt The option identifier * \param[in] type The type of the option argument * \param[in] help The help text (may be a multi-line string) * \param[in] name The option name * \param[in] argument Whether the option accepts an optional argument, a * mandatory argument, or no argument at all * \param[in] argumentName The argument name used in the help text * \param[in] array Whether the option can appear once or multiple times * \param[in] parent The identifier of the parent option (optional) * * \return True if the option was added successfully, false if an error * occurred. */ bool OptionsParser::addOption(int opt, OptionType type, const char *help, const char *name, OptionArgument argument, const char *argumentName, bool array, int parent) { /* * Options must have at least a short or long name, and a text message. * If an argument is accepted, it must be described by argumentName. */ if (!isalnum(opt) && !name) return false; if (!help || help[0] == '\0') return false; if (argument != ArgumentNone && !argumentName) return false; /* Reject duplicate options. */ if (optionsMap_.find(opt) != optionsMap_.end()) return false; /* * If a parent is specified, create the option as a child of its parent. * Otherwise, create it in the parser's options list. */ Option *option; if (parent) { auto iter = optionsMap_.find(parent); if (iter == optionsMap_.end()) return false; Option *parentOpt = iter->second; parentOpt->children.push_back({ opt, type, name, argument, argumentName, help, nullptr, array, parentOpt, {} }); option = &parentOpt->children.back(); } else { options_.push_back({ opt, type, name, argument, argumentName, help, nullptr, array, nullptr, {} }); option = &options_.back(); } optionsMap_[opt] = option; return true; } /** * \brief Add a key-value pair option to the parser * \param[in] opt The option identifier * \param[in] parser The KeyValueParser for the option value * \param[in] help The help text (may be a multi-line string) * \param[in] name The option name * \param[in] array Whether the option can appear once or multiple times * * \sa Option * * \return True if the option was added successfully, false if an error * occurred. */ bool OptionsParser::addOption(int opt, KeyValueParser *parser, const char *help, const char *name, bool array, int parent) { if (!addOption(opt, OptionKeyValue, help, name, ArgumentRequired, "key=value[,key=value,...]", array, parent)) return false; optionsMap_[opt]->keyValueParser = parser; return true; } /** * \brief Parse command line arguments * \param[in] argc The number of arguments in the \a argv array * \param[in] argv The array of arguments * * If a parsing error occurs, the parsing stops, the function prints an error * message that identifies the invalid argument, prints usage information with * usage(), and returns an invalid container.
