## Description
|
2
|
+
The getopt Ruby library is a simple command line parsing library. It implements
|
3
|
+
a `Getopt::Std` class for basic command line parsing, as well as a `Getopt::Long`
|
4
|
+
class for more advanced command line parsing.
|
5
|
+
|
6
|
+
## Installation
|
7
|
+
`gem install getopt`
|
8
|
+
|
9
|
+
## Synopsis
|
10
|
+
### Getopt::Std
|
11
|
+
```ruby
|
12
|
+
require 'getopt/std'
|
13
|
+
|
14
|
+
# Look for -o with argument, and -I and -D boolean arguments
|
15
|
+
opt = Getopt::Std.getopts("o:ID")
|
16
|
+
|
17
|
+
if opt["I"]
|
18
|
+
# Do something if -I passed
|
19
|
+
|
20
|
+
if opt["D"]
|
21
|
+
# Do something if -D passed
|
22
|
+
|
23
|
+
if opt["o"]
|
24
|
+
case opt["o"]
|
25
|
+
# blah, blah, blah
|
26
|
+
end
|
27
|
+
end
|
28
|
+
```
|
29
|
+
|
30
|
+
### Getopt::Long
|
31
|
+
```ruby
|
32
|
+
require 'getopt/long'
|
33
|
+
|
34
|
+
opt = Getopt::Long.getopts(
|
35
|
+
["--foo", "-f", Getopt::BOOLEAN],
|
36
|
+
["--bar", "-b", Getopt::REQUIRED]
|
37
|
+
)
|
38
|
+
|
39
|
+
# Or, to save your fingers some typing:
|
40
|
+
#
|
41
|
+
# require "getopt/long"
|
42
|
+
# include Getopt
|
43
|
+
# opt = Long.getopts(
|
44
|
+
# ["--foo", "-f", BOOLEAN],
|
45
|
+
# ["--bar", "-b", REQUIRED]
|
46
|
+
# )
|
47
|
+
|
48
|
+
if opt["foo"]
|
49
|
+
# Do something if --foo or -f passed
|
50
|
+
end
|
51
|
+
|
52
|
+
if opt["b"]
|
53
|
+
# Do something if --bar or -b passed
|
54
|
+
end
|
55
|
+
```
|
56
|
+
|
57
|
+
## Singleton Methods
|
58
|
+
`Std.getopts(switches)`
|
59
|
+
|
60
|
+
Takes a series of single character switches that can be accepted on the
|
61
|
+
command line. Any characters followed by a ":" require an argument. The
|
62
|
+
rest are considered boolean switches.
|
63
|
+
|
64
|
+
The method returns a hash, with the switches as the key (minus the leading '-').
|
65
|
+
For boolean switches, the value is either true or false. Switches that were
|
66
|
+
not passed on the command line do not appear in the hash.
|
67
|
+
|
68
|
+
In the event that a switch which accepts an argument appears multiple times
|
69
|
+
the value for that key becomes an array of values.
|
70
|
+
|
71
|
+
`Long.getopts(switches)`
|
72
|
+
|
73
|
+
Takes an array of switches beginning with "--" followed by one or more
|
74
|
+
alphanumeric or hyphen characters, or "-" followed by a single character.
|
75
|
+
The type of argument, if any, can be specified as BOOLEAN, OPTIONAL,
|
76
|
+
REQUIRED or INCREMENT.
|
77
|
+
|
78
|
+
The array should be in the form:
|
79
|
+
|
80
|
+
```
|
81
|
+
# long form, short form (alias), option type
|
82
|
+
["--long", "-l", Getopt::OPTION]
|
83
|
+
```
|
84
|
+
|
85
|
+
Note that only the long form is required. If the short form is not
|
86
|
+
specified, it will automatically be set to the first letter of the long
|
87
|
+
switch. If multiple long switches with the same first character are
|
88
|
+
listed without short switches, only the first long switch gets the short
|
89
|
+
switch alias.
|
90
|
+
|
91
|
+
If the argument type is not specified, the default is BOOLEAN.
|
92
|
+
|
93
|
+
For the truly lazy, you can also pass a string of long switches (with
|
94
|
+
no short switches or argument types).
|
95
|
+
|
96
|
+
See the 'examples' directory for more examples.
|
97
|
+
|
98
|
+
## Getopt::Long argument types
|
99
|
+
`REQUIRED`
|
100
|
+
|
101
|
+
If the option is specified on the command line, it must be followed by
|
102
|
+
a non-blank argument. This argument cannot be another switch. If this
|
103
|
+
switch appears multiple times, the values are collected into an array.
|
104
|
+
|
105
|
+
`BOOLEAN`
|
106
|
+
|
107
|
+
If the option is specified on the command line, its value is set to true.
|
108
|
+
It must not be followed by a non-blank argument, excluding other switches.
|
109
|
+
Attempting to pass a boolean switch more than once will raise an error.
|
110
|
+
|
111
|
+
`OPTIONAL`
|
112
|
+
|
113
|
+
If the option is specified on the command line, it may or may not accept
|
114
|
+
an argument, excluding other valid switches. If an argument is present,
|
115
|
+
it's value is set to that argument. If an argument is not present, it's
|
116
|
+
value is set to nil.
|
117
|
+
|
118
|
+
`INCREMENT`
|
119
|
+
|
120
|
+
If the option is specified on the command line, its value is incremented
|
121
|
+
by one for each appearance on the command line, or set to 1 if it appears
|
122
|
+
only once.
|
123
|
+
|
124
|
+
## Future Plans
|
125
|
+
|
126
|
+
* Add support for negatable options so that you can do "--no-foo", for example.
|
127
|
+
|
128
|
+
* Add support for numeric types, so that you don't have to manually convert
|
129
|
+
strings to numbers.
|
130
|
+
|
131
|
+
* Allow shortcut characters for the option types, e.g. "?" for BOOLEAN, "+"
|
132
|
+
for INCREMENT, etc.
|
133
|
+
|
134
|
+
## Known Issues
|
135
|
+
|
136
|
+
### Getopt::Std
|
137
|
+
You cannot squish switches that require arguments with the argument itself.
|
138
|
+
For example, if you do `Getopt::Std.getopts("o:ID")`, it will not parse
|
139
|
+
"-IDohello" properly. Instead, you must do "-IDo hello". Or, you can just
|
140
|
+
separate the argument, e.g. "-I -D -o hello".
|
141
|
+
|
142
|
+
### Getopt::Long
|
143
|
+
If you mix and match compressed switches with separate, optional switches
|
144
|
+
the optional switch will be set to true instead of nil if it separated
|
145
|
+
from the compressed switches.

## Other Stuff

Neither class attempts to be POSIX compliant in any way, shape or form.

## Notes From the Author
|
158
|
+
My main gripe with the `getoptlong` library currently in the standard library
|
159
|
+
is that it doesn't return a hash, yet gives you partial hash behavior. This
|
160
|
+
was both confusing and annoying, since the first thing I do (along with
|
161
|
+
everyone else) is collect the results into a hash for later processing.
|
162
|
+
|
163
|
+
My main gripe with the `optparse` library (also in the standard library) is
|
164
|
+
that it treats command line processing like event processing. It's too
|
165
|
+
complex, when most of the time all you want to do is slurp the command line
|
166
|
+
options into a hash.
|
167
|
+
|
168
|
+
So, I did something utterly novel with this library. I collected the command
|
169
|
+
line options ... (wait for it) ... into a hash! Then I give that hash to
|
170
|
+
you, aliases and all. I did get some ideas from Perl's Getopt::Long library,
|
171
|
+
but this is in no way a port of that module (which supports POSIX parsing, GNU
|
172
|
+
parsing, more option types, etc). My goal was to provide the functionality
|
173
|
+
that I felt would cover the vast majority of common cases, yet still provide
|
174
|
+
a little extra spice with switch types (REQUIRED, OPTIONAL, etc).
|
175
|
+
|
176
|
+
There are a few extra things I plan to add (see the 'Future Plans' above) but
|
177
|
+
I do not plan on this library ever becoming as feature rich as, say, Perl's
|
178
|
+
Getopt::Long module.
|
179
|
+
|
180
|
+
If you plan to write a full fledged command line application, e.g. you plan
|
181
|
+
on implementing a full help system, gobs of command line options and tons of
|
182
|
+
switches, consider Jim Freeze's `commandline` gem.
