Detailed Description
A class for parsing the program options specified on the command line.
Method Documentation
◆ initWithOptions:()
| - (id) initWithOptions: | (const of_options_parser_option_t *) | options |
Initializes an already allocated OFOptionsParser so that it accepts the specified options.
- Parameters
-
options An array of of_options_parser_option_t specifying all accepted options, terminated with an option whose short option is \0and long option isnil.
- Returns
- An initialized OFOptionsParser
◆ nextOption()
| - (of_unichar_t) nextOption |
Returns the next option.
If the option is only available as a long option, - is returned. Otherwise, the short option is returned, even if it was specified as a long option.
If an unknown option is specified, ? is returned.
If the argument for the option is missing, : is returned.
If there is an argument for the option even though it takes none, = is returned.
If all options have been parsed, \0 is returned.
- Note
- You need to call nextOption repeatedly until it returns
\0to make sure all options have been parsed, even if you only rely on the optional pointers specified and don't do any parsing yourself.
- Returns
- The next option
◆ parserWithOptions:()
| + (instancetype) parserWithOptions: | (const of_options_parser_option_t *) | options |
Creates a new OFOptionsParser which accepts the specified options.
- Parameters
-
options An array of of_options_parser_option_t specifying all accepted options, terminated with an option whose short option is \0and long option isnil.
- Returns
- A new, autoreleased OFOptionsParser
◆ remainingArguments()
| - (OFArray *) remainingArguments |
Returns the arguments following the last option.
- Returns
- The arguments following the last option
Property Documentation
◆ lastOption
|
readnonatomicassign |
The last parsed option.
If nextOption returned ? or :, this returns the option which was unknown or for which the argument was missing.
If this returns -, the last option is only available as a long option (see lastLongOption).
◆ readonly
|
readwriteatomic |
The long option for the last parsed option, or nil if the last parsed option was not passed as a long option by the user.
In case nextOption returned ?, this contains the unknown long option.
In case it returned :, this contains the long option which is missing an argument.
In case it returned =, this contains the long option for which an argument was specified even though the option takes no argument.
- Warning
- Unlike lastOption, which returns the short option even if the user specified a long option, this only returns the long option if it was actually specified as a long option by the user.
The argument for the last parsed option, or nil if the last parsed option takes no argument.
