Detailed Description
The commandline class provides methods for parsing command line arguments.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ commandline() [1/2]
| commandline::commandline | ( | ) |
Creates an instance of the commandline class.
◆ commandline() [2/2]
| commandline::commandline | ( | int32_t | argc, |
| const char ** | argv | ||
| ) |
Creates an instance of the commandline class and sets its argument count and arguments to "argc" and "argv".
◆ ~commandline()
| commandline::~commandline | ( | ) |
Deletes this instance of the commandline class.
Member Function Documentation
◆ clear()
| bool commandline::clear | ( | ) |
Clears the argument count and argument values. Always returns true.
◆ convertToDictionary()
| void commandline::convertToDictionary | ( | dictionary< char *, char * > * | dict | ) |
Parses the command line into the supplied dictionary.
If an argument has no value, then the value for that key in the dictionary is set to an empty string.
◆ getArgumentCount()
| int32_t commandline::getArgumentCount | ( | ) |
Returns the argument count.
◆ getArgumentValues()
| const char** commandline::getArgumentValues | ( | ) |
Returns the argument values.
◆ getValue() [1/2]
| const char* commandline::getValue | ( | const char * | arg | ) |
Looks for either: -arg value or –arg=value on the command line and returns value.
Returns an empty string if just -arg or –arg is found, or NULL if neither are found.
◆ getValue() [2/2]
| const char* commandline::getValue | ( | const char * | arg, |
| const char * | abbr | ||
| ) |
Looks for the argument or an abbreviated version of it on the command line and returns the value.
For example, if "arg" is "name" and "abbr" is "n" then it looks for either:
-name value
or –name=value or -n value or –n==value
on the command line and returns value.
If both "arg" and "abbr" are found then the value for "arg" is returned.
Returns an empty string if just -name, –name, -n, or –n is found, or NULL if none are found.
◆ isFound() [1/2]
| bool commandline::isFound | ( | const char * | arg | ) |
Returns true if "-arg", "--arg" or "--arg=value" was found on the command line and false if it was not found.
This is useful for processing command line switches.
◆ isFound() [2/2]
| bool commandline::isFound | ( | const char * | arg, |
| const char * | abbr | ||
| ) |
Returns true if the argument or an abbreviated version of it was found on the command line and false if neither were found.
For example, if "arg" is "recursive" and "abbr" is "r" then it returns true if "-recursive", "--recursive", "-r", or "--r" was found on the command line.
This is useful for processing command line switches.
◆ setArgumentCount()
| void commandline::setArgumentCount | ( | int32_t | argc | ) |
Sets the argument count to "argc".
◆ setArguments()
| void commandline::setArguments | ( | int32_t | argc, |
| const char ** | argv | ||
| ) |
Sets the argument count to "argc" and arguments to "argv".
◆ setArgumentValues()
| void commandline::setArgumentValues | ( | const char ** | argv | ) |
Sets the argument values to "argv".
