Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ anonymous enum

anonymous enum

Return codes for OptsParser::getOption() and OptsParser::getArgument().

Enumerator
NOARG 

Option has no argument.

ERR 

Error when parsing option.

NOOPTION 

Command line parameter is not an option.

UNKNOWN 

Parameter is an unknown option.

FINISH 

All options are handled.

◆ ArgType

Type of argument associated to an option.

Enumerator
AT_NONE 

Option receives no argument.

AT_MANDATORY 

Option requires an argument.

AT_OPTIONAL 

Option has optionally an argument.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ OptsParser() [1/2]

Puma::OptsParser::OptsParser ( int argc,
char ** argv,
const Option * opts )

Constructor.

Parameters
argcNumber of parameters to be analyzed.
argvParameters to be analyzed.
optsPointer to array of options which shall be recognized by the options parser.

◆ OptsParser() [2/2]

Puma::OptsParser::OptsParser ( const std::string & line,
const Option * opts )

Constructor.

Parameters
lineReference to string with parameters to analyze. The parameters are extracted from the string by splitting it up into tokens at:
  • space character
  • tabs
  • newline
  • carriage return
optsPointer to array of options which shall be recognized by the options parser

Member Function Documentation

◆ getArgument()

const std::string & Puma::OptsParser::getArgument ( )

Get option argument of last processed parameter.

This function returns the argument of the option processed during OptsParser::getOption. If the option does not provide any argument the string will be empty. If OptsParser::getOption or respectively OptsParser::getResult returns with OptsParser::NOOPTION this function (OptsParser::getArgument) returns the last processed parameter, which is no option, of course.

Returns
Argument of last processed parameter

◆ getCurrentArgNum()

int Puma::OptsParser::getCurrentArgNum ( ) const

Get position of current argument.

Returns
Position of currently processed parameter previously passed to OptsParser::OptsParser()

◆ getNextArgNum()

int Puma::OptsParser::getNextArgNum ( ) const

Get position of next argument.

Returns
Position of next parameter which will be processed by the options parser

◆ getOption()

int Puma::OptsParser::getOption ( )

Get next option.

This function processes the next parameter passed to the constructor OptsParser::OptsParser(). That is, search for options and eventually process option and option argument.

Returns
Number of options recognized by the options parser or OptsParser::NOARG, OptsParser::ERR, OptsParser::NOOPTION, OptsParser::UNKNOWN or OptsParser::FINISH.

◆ getOptionName()

const std::string & Puma::OptsParser::getOptionName ( ) const

Get option name of last processed parameter.

If the last processed parameter did not contain an option the string returned by this function is empty.

Returns
Name of last processed parameter

◆ getRawOption()

int Puma::OptsParser::getRawOption ( )

Get next parameter without modification.

No option parsing is done.

Returns
OptsParser::NOOPTION or OptsParser::FINISH.

◆ getResult()

int Puma::OptsParser::getResult ( ) const

Get result of last processed parameter.

The number returned by this function is identical to the number returned by the last call of OptsParser::getOption.

Returns
Number of options recognized by the options parser or OptsParser::NOARG, OptsParser::ERR, OptsParser::NOOPTION, OptsParser::UNKNOWN or OptsParser::FINISH.

◆ getUnstrippedArgument()

const std::string & Puma::OptsParser::getUnstrippedArgument ( ) const

Get option argument of last processed parameter without stripping.

This function returns the argument of the option processed during OptsParser::getOption. If the option does not provide any argument the string will be empty. If OptsParser::getOption or respectively OptsParser::getResult returns with OptsParser::NOOPTION this function (OptsParser::getArgument) returns the last processed parameter, which is no option, of course.

Returns
Argument of last processed parameter
