+ ## 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
+

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.

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.

152
+ ## Other Stuff
153
+ Neither class attempts to be POSIX compliant in any way, shape or form.
154

155

+
157
+ ## 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.
