Enum SyntaxNotation

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<SyntaxNotation>

org.refcodes.console.SyntaxNotation

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<SyntaxNotation>

public enum SyntaxNotation
extends Enum<SyntaxNotation>

The SyntaxNotation is used by a the Syntaxable.toSyntax(SyntaxNotation) method to determine which notation to be used for the generated syntax.

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
GNU_POSIX	A syntax notation derived from GNU and POSIX utility conventions and utility argument syntax.
REFCODES	A notation which the author of this code believes to unambiguously describe a command line utility's argument syntax; as defined by the means of this refcodes-console artifact.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description

REFCODES

public static final SyntaxNotation REFCODES

A notation which the author of this code believes to unambiguously describe a command line utility's argument syntax; as defined by the means of this refcodes-console artifact.

Method Detail

values

public static SyntaxNotation[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (SyntaxNotation c : SyntaxNotation.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static SyntaxNotation valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
