GetLongOption()

Ioss::GetLongOption::GetLongOption ( char  optmark = '-' )

explicit

Create an empty options database.

Parameters

optmark

The command line symbol designating options.

~GetLongOption()

Ioss::GetLongOption::~GetLongOption

(

)

Frees dynamically allocated memory.

Frees memory for the private struct variables representing the options.

Member Function Documentation

basename()

char * Ioss::GetLongOption::basename ( char *  pathname )

static

Extract the base file name from a full path.

Finds the last instance of the '/' character and extracts the part of the string that follows.

Parameters

[in]

pathname

The full path.

Returns

The base file name.

enroll()

int Ioss::GetLongOption::enroll	(	const char *	opt,
		OptType	t,
		const char *	desc,
		const char *	val,
		const char *	optval = nullptr
	)

Enroll a command line option into the database.

Dynamically allocates memory for the option, sets its name type, description, value, and default value, and links it to the preceding option.

Parameters

[in]	opt	The long option name.
[in]	t	The option type.
[in]	desc	A short description of the option.
[in]	val	The option value.
[in]	optval	The default value.

Returns

1 if successful, 0 if unsuccessful.

parse() [1/2]

int Ioss::GetLongOption::parse	(	int	argc,
		char *const *	argv
	)

parse command line arguments

Set the values of options in the option table based on the given command line arguments.

Parameters

[in]	argc	Number of command line arguments passed in from main(int argc, char *argv[]).
[in]	argv	Command line arguments passed in from main(int argc, char *argv[]).

Returns

Number of options processed, or -1 on failure.

parse() [2/2]

int Ioss::GetLongOption::parse	(	char *	str,
		char *	p
	)

parse an argument string.

Set the values of options in the option table based on the given option string.

Parameters

[in]	str	The option string.
[in]	p	A string to be used in error reporting

Returns

1 if successful, or -1 otherwise.

retrieve()

const char * Ioss::GetLongOption::retrieve

(

const char *

opt

)

const

Get a command line option object.

Parameters

[in]

opt

The option name.

Returns

The option object.

setcell()

int Ioss::GetLongOption::setcell ( Cell *  c, char *  valtoken, char *  nexttoken, const char *  name  )

private

usage() [1/2]

void Ioss::GetLongOption::usage

(

std::ostream &

outfile = std::cout

)

const

Print the program usage string.

Parameters

[in]

outfile

The output stream to which the usage string is printed.

usage() [2/2]

void Ioss::GetLongOption::usage ( const char *  str )

inline

Set the program usage string.

The program usage string should define the command line syntax for program options and arguments and contain other helpful usage text.

Parameters

[in]

str

The usage string.
