Constructor Detail

StringOption

public StringOption(String aShortOption,
                    String aLongOption,
                    String aAlias,
                    String aDescription)

Instantiates a new string option.

Parameters:

aShortOption - the short option

aLongOption - the long option

aAlias - the option arg name

aDescription - the description

StringOption

public StringOption(String aLongOption,
                    String aAlias,
                    String aDescription)

Instantiates a new string option.

Parameters:

aLongOption - the long option

aAlias - the option arg name

aDescription - the description

StringOption

public StringOption(org.refcodes.struct.Relation<String,String> aProperty)

Instantiates a new string option.

Parameters:

aProperty - The key (= alias) and the value for the operand.

Method Detail

toType

protected String toType(String aArg)
                 throws ParseArgsException

Double dispatch hook to be implemented by subclasses of the AbstractOperand for converting a command line argument to the required Operand's type. In case conversion failed, then an according exception is to be thrown.

Specified by:

toType in class AbstractOperand<String>

Parameters:

aArg - The command line argument to be converted to an instance of the given type T.

Returns:

An instance of type T from the provided command line argument.

Throws:

ParseArgsException - Thrown in case the provided command line arguments do not respect the required syntax or cannot be converted to the required type.

toUsage

public String toUsage(SyntaxNotation aSyntaxNotation,
                      String aOptionEscCode,
                      String aResetEscCode)

Returns the human readable (verbose) syntax of implementing class ATTENTION: As of different parenthesis settings for some notations regarding the root Syntaxable and the child Syntaxables, the method Syntaxable.toSyntax(SyntaxNotation, String, String) is called from inside a Syntaxable hierarchy. In case the syntax is to be retrieved from the root Syntaxable or an encapsulating and different type, then the applicable method to be called is SyntaxUsage.toUsage(SyntaxNotation), as for some notations it will for example not create the most outer braces.

Specified by:

toUsage in interface SyntaxUsage

Parameters:

aSyntaxNotation - The syntax notation used for generating the command line arguments syntax.

aOptionEscCode - The escape code to be used when processing an option, e.g. this can be an ANSI Escape-Code to highlight the option parameters (for example "--help", "-q" and so on).

aResetEscCode - The escape code to close (reset) any Escape-Code being set before.

Returns:

The human readable (verbose) command line arguments syntax.
