202 | * |
203 | * Returns: Value of option found next, or an error character, or |
204 | * @EOF@ for the last thing. |
205 | * |
206 | * Use: Reads options. The routine should be more-or-less compatible |
207 | * with standard getopts, although it provides many more |
208 | * features even than the standard GNU implementation. |
209 | * |
210 | * The precise manner of options parsing is determined by |
211 | * various flag settings, which are described below. By setting |
212 | * flag values appropriately, you can achieve behaviour very |
213 | * similar to most other getopt routines. |
214 | * |
215 | * |
216 | * How options parsing appears to users |
217 | * |
218 | * A command line consists of a number of `words' (which may |
219 | * contain spaces, according to various shell quoting |
220 | * conventions). A word may be an option, an argument to an |
221 | * option, or a non-option. An option begins with a special |
222 | * character, usually `%|-|%', although `%|+|%' is also used |
223 | * sometimes. As special exceptions, the word containing only a |
224 | * `%|-|%' is considered to be a non-option, since it usually |
225 | * represents standard input or output as a filename, and the |
226 | * word containing a double-dash `%|--|%' is used to mark all |
227 | * following words as being non-options regardless of their |
228 | * initial character. |
229 | * |
230 | * Traditionally, all words after the first non-option have been |
231 | * considered to be non-options automatically, so that options |
232 | * must be specified before filenames. However, this |
233 | * implementation can extract all the options from the command |
234 | * line regardless of their position. This can usually be |
235 | * disabled by setting one of the environment variables |
236 | * `%|POSIXLY_CORRECT|%' or `%|_POSIX_OPTION_ORDER|%'. |
237 | * |
238 | * There are two different styles of options: `short' and |
239 | * `long'. |
240 | * |
241 | * Short options are the sort which Unix has known for ages: an |
242 | * option is a single letter, preceded by a `%|-|%'. Short |
243 | * options can be joined together to save space (and possibly to |
244 | * make silly words): e.g., instead of giving options |
245 | * `%|-x.-y|%', a user could write `%|-xy|%'. Some short |
246 | * options can have arguments, which appear after the option |
247 | * letter, either immediately following, or in the next `word' |
248 | * (so an option with an argument could be written as |
249 | * `%|-o foo|%' or as `%|-ofoo|%'). Note that options with |
250 | * optional arguments must be written in the second style. |
251 | * |
252 | * When a short option controls a flag setting, it is sometimes |
253 | * possible to explicitly turn the flag off, as well as turning |
254 | * it on, (usually to override default options). This is |
255 | * usually done by using a `%|+|%' instead of a `%|-|%' to |
256 | * introduce the option. |
257 | * |
5b59e227 |
258 | * Long options, as popularized by the GNU utilities, are given |
b91e2391 |
259 | * long-ish memorable names, preceded by a double-dash `%|--|%'. |
260 | * Since their names are more than a single character, long |
261 | * options can't be combined in the same way as short options. |
262 | * Arguments to long options may be given either in the same |
263 | * `word', separated from the option name by an equals sign, or |
264 | * in the following `word'. |
265 | * |
266 | * Long option names can be abbreviated if necessary, as long |
267 | * as the abbreviation is unique. This means that options can |
268 | * have sensible and memorable names but still not require much |
269 | * typing from an experienced user. |
270 | * |
271 | * Like short options, long options can control flag settings. |
272 | * The options to manipulate these settings come in pairs: an |
273 | * option of the form `%|--set-flag|%' might set the flag, while |
274 | * an option of the form `%|--no-set-flag|%' might clear it. |
275 | * |
276 | * It is usual for applications to provide both short and long |
277 | * options with identical behaviour. Some applications with |
278 | * lots of options may only provide long options (although they |
279 | * will often be only two or three characters long). In this |
280 | * case, long options can be preceded with a single `%|-|%' |
281 | * character, and negated by a `%|+|%' character. |
282 | * |
283 | * Finally, some (older) programs accept arguments of the form |
284 | * `%%@.{"-"<number>}%%', to set some numerical parameter, |
285 | * typically a line count of some kind. |
286 | * |
287 | * |
288 | * How programs parse options |
289 | * |
290 | * An application parses its options by calling mdwopt |
291 | * repeatedly. Each time it is called, mdwopt returns a value |
292 | * describing the option just read, and stores information about |
293 | * the option in a data block. The value %$-1$% is returned |
294 | * when there are no more options to be read. The `%|?|%' |
295 | * character is returned when an error is encountered. |
296 | * |
297 | * Before starting to parse options, the value @data->ind@ must |
298 | * be set to 0 or 1. The value of @data->err@ can also be set, |
299 | * to choose whether errors are reported by mdwopt. |
300 | * |
301 | * The program's `@argc@' and `@argv@' arguments are passed to |
302 | * the options parser, so that it can read the command line. A |
303 | * flags word is also passed, allowing the program fine control |
304 | * over parsing. The flags are described above. |
305 | * |
306 | * Short options are described by a string, which once upon a |
307 | * time just contained the permitted option characters. Now the |
308 | * options string begins with a collection of flag characters, |
309 | * and various flag characters can be put after options |
310 | * characters to change their properties. |
311 | * |
312 | * If the first character of the short options string is |
313 | * `%|+|%', `%|-|%' or `%|!|%', the order in which options are |
314 | * read is modified, as follows: |
315 | * |
316 | * `%|+|%' forces the POSIX order to be used. As soon as a non- |
317 | * option is found, mdwopt returns %$-1$%. |
318 | * |
319 | * `%|-|%' makes mdwopt treat non-options as being `special' |
320 | * sorts of option. When a non-option word is found, the |
321 | * value 0 is returned, and the actual text of the word |
322 | * is stored as being the option's argument. |
323 | * |
324 | * `%|!|%' forces the default order to be used. The entire |
325 | * command line is scanned for options, which are |
326 | * returned in order. However, during this process, |
327 | * the options are moved in the @argv@ array, so that |
328 | * they appear before the non- options. |
329 | * |
330 | * A `%|:|%' character may be placed after the ordering flag (or |
331 | * at the very beginning if no ordering flag is given) which |
332 | * indicates that the character `%|:|%', rather than `%|?|%', |
333 | * should be returned if a missing argument error is detected. |
334 | * |
335 | * Each option in the string can be followed by a `%|+|%' sign, |
336 | * indicating that it can be negated, a `%|:|%' sign indicating |
337 | * that it requires an argument, or a `%|::|%' string, |
338 | * indicating an optional argument. Both `%|+|%' and `%|:|%' or |
339 | * `%|::|%' may be given, although the `%|+|%' must come first. |
340 | * |
341 | * If an option is found, the option character is returned to |
342 | * the caller. A pointer to an argument is stored in |
343 | * @data->arg@, or @NULL@ is stored if there was no argument. |
344 | * If a negated option was found, the option character is |
79eae586 |
345 | * returned ORred with @OPTF_NEGATED@ (bit 8 set). |
b91e2391 |
346 | * |
347 | * Long options are described in a table. Each entry in the |
348 | * table is of type @struct option@, and the table is terminated |
349 | * by an entry whose @name@ field is null. Each option has |
350 | * a flags word which, due to historical reasons, is called |
351 | * @has_arg@. This describes various properties of the option, |
352 | * such as what sort of argument it takes, and whether it can |
353 | * be negated. |
354 | * |
355 | * When mdwopt finds a long option, it looks the name up in the |
356 | * table. The index of the matching entry is stored in the |
357 | * @longind@ variable, passed to mdwopt (unless @longind@ is 0): |
358 | * a value of %$-1$% indicates that no long option was |
359 | * found. The behaviour is then dependent on the values in the |
360 | * table entry. If @flag@ is nonzero, it points to an integer |
361 | * to be modified by mdwopt. Usually the value in the @val@ |
362 | * field is simply stored in the @flag@ variable. If the flag |
79eae586 |
363 | * @OPTF_SWITCH@ is set, however, the value is combined with |
b91e2391 |
364 | * the existing value of the flags using a bitwise OR. If |
79eae586 |
365 | * @OPTF_NEGATE@ is set, then the flag bit will be cleared if a |
b91e2391 |
366 | * matching negated long option is found. The value 0 is |
367 | * returned. |
368 | * |
369 | * If @flag@ is zero, the value in @val@ is returned by mdwopt, |
370 | * possibly with bit 8 set if the option was negated. |
371 | * |
372 | * Arguments for long options are stored in @data->arg@, as |
373 | * before. |
374 | * |
375 | * Numeric options, if enabled, cause the value `%|#|%' to be |
376 | * returned, and the numeric value to be stored in @data->opt@. |
377 | * |
79eae586 |
378 | * If the flag @OPTF_ENVVAR@ is set on entry, options will be |
b91e2391 |
379 | * extracted from an environment variable whose name is built by |
79eae586 |
380 | * capitalizing all the letters of the program's name. (This |
b91e2391 |
381 | * allows a user to have different default settings for a |
79eae586 |
382 | * program, by calling it through different symbolic links.) |
