Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class theplu::yat::utility::OptionArg< T >

Option with argument.

If the option is present, argument is set during parsing. Supported formats are both gnu-style "--support-gnu=value", POSIX-like "--support-posix value", as well as shorter "-s value". The argument of an parameter is retrived by the value() function. The type T should be either a string or a type supported by function convert().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T>
theplu::yat::utility::OptionArg< T >::OptionArg ( CommandLine cmd,
std::string  name,
std::string  desc,
bool  required = false 
)
inline

Constructor.

Parameters
cmdCommandline Option is associated with
namestring such as "help" for –help, "h" for -h or "h,help" for having both short and long option name
descstring used in help display
requiredIf true option must be found in commandline or exception is thrown in validation

Member Function Documentation

const CommandLine& theplu::yat::utility::Option::cmd ( void  ) const

Returns
const reference to CommandLine Option belongs to.
std::string theplu::yat::utility::Option::description ( void  ) const

std::string theplu::yat::utility::Option::long_name ( void  ) const
inherited
Returns
long name e.g. 'help' for –help option.
bool theplu::yat::utility::Option::present ( void  ) const
inherited

Get if option was found in cmd.

Returns
true if option has been detected in parsing
std::string theplu::yat::utility::Option::print ( void  )
inherited

print help output

This function calls the four virtual private functions print1, print2, print3, and print4. This allows an inherited class to implement one (or several) of these functions and keep the default output of the others. The default behavior is that:

template<typename T>
void theplu::yat::utility::OptionArg< T >::print_arg ( std::string  arg)
inline
Parameters
argstring to be used in help output such as '=TARGET' in '–target=TARGET'. See print3().

New in yat 0.5.
template<typename T>
bool theplu::yat::utility::OptionArg< T >::required ( void  ) const
inlineprotected
Returns
true if Option is required, i.e., if Option is not found during parsing an exception will be thrown.
char theplu::yat::utility::Option::short_name ( void  ) const
inherited
Returns
short name e.g. 'h' for -h option.
void theplu::yat::utility::Option::validate ( void  )
inherited

Validate the Option.

This function is called by CommandLine::parse() after all options have been detected and parsed (see Option::parse()).

template<typename T>
T theplu::yat::utility::OptionArg< T >::value ( void  ) const
inline
Returns
value
template<typename T>
void theplu::yat::utility::OptionArg< T >::value ( v)
inline

set value
