alib::cli::OptionDecl Class Reference

Description:

A declaration for an Option.

Construction is done by passing a custom enum element of an enum type equipped with ALib Enum Records of type EROptionDecl.

When bootstrapping ALib CLI, method void DefineOptions()  has to be invoked for (each) enum type.

Constructor(s) / Destructor Details:

OptionDecl()

template<typename TEnum>

alib::cli::OptionDecl::OptionDecl ( TEnum element )

inline

Method Details:

Element()

const Enum & alib::cli::OptionDecl::Element ( ) const

inline

Returns

The enumeration element used with construction.

Definition at line 286 of file arguments.inl.

HelpText()

const String & alib::cli::OptionDecl::HelpText ( )

inline

Returns

The help text.

Definition at line 330 of file arguments.inl.

HelpUsageLine()

const String & alib::cli::OptionDecl::HelpUsageLine ( )

inline

Returns a formal description of the usage. Loads the string from resourceInfo using resource name "TOptUsgNN", where NN is the enum element's integral value.

Returns

The help text.

Definition at line 323 of file arguments.inl.

Identifier()

const String & alib::cli::OptionDecl::Identifier ( )

inline

Returns the identifier of the option if double hyphen '–' is used.

Returns

The option identifier.

Definition at line 290 of file arguments.inl.

IdentifierChar()

character alib::cli::OptionDecl::IdentifierChar ( )

inline

Returns the identifier of the option if single hyphen '-' is used.

Returns

The option identifier.

Definition at line 298 of file arguments.inl.

MinimumRecognitionLength()

int alib::cli::OptionDecl::MinimumRecognitionLength ( )

inline

Returns the minimum parse length of the identifier if double hyphen '–' is used.

Returns

The minimum characters to satisfy the option.

Definition at line 294 of file arguments.inl.

QtyExpectedArgsFollowing()

integer alib::cli::OptionDecl::QtyExpectedArgsFollowing ( )

inline

The number of CLI arguments to consume and store in ListMA< String, Recycling::Shared > Args with method bool Read(OptionDecl&, String&, const integer) .

Returns

The option identifier.

Definition at line 312 of file arguments.inl.

ShortcutReplacementString()

const String & alib::cli::OptionDecl::ShortcutReplacementString ( )

inline

If an option is a shortcut to another one, this string replaces the argument given.

Returns

The option identifier.

Definition at line 316 of file arguments.inl.

ValueSeparator()

const String & alib::cli::OptionDecl::ValueSeparator ( )

inline

An optional separator string (usually "="), that separates the parameter name from a parameter value.

Returns

The separator string.
