149 | .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" | |
150 | The \fIgetopt()\fR function processes single-character switches with switch | |
151 | clustering. Pass one argument which is a string containing all switches | |
152 | that take an argument. For each switch found, sets \f(CW$opt_x\fR (where x is the | |
153 | switch name) to the value of the argument if an argument is expected, | |
154 | or 1 otherwise. Switches which take an argument don't care whether | |
155 | there is a space between the switch and the argument. | |
156 | .PP | |
157 | The \fIgetopts()\fR function is similar, but you should pass to it the list of all | |
158 | switches to be recognized. If unspecified switches are found on the | |
159 | command\-line, the user will be warned that an unknown option was given. | |
160 | .PP | |
161 | Note that, if your code is running under the recommended \f(CW\*(C`use strict | |
162 | \&'vars'\*(C'\fR pragma, you will need to declare these package variables | |
163 | with \*(L"our\*(R": | |
164 | .PP | |
165 | .Vb 1 | |
166 | \& our($opt_x, $opt_y); | |
167 | .Ve | |
168 | .PP | |
169 | For those of you who don't like additional global variables being created, \fIgetopt()\fR | |
170 | and \fIgetopts()\fR will also accept a hash reference as an optional second argument. | |
171 | Hash keys will be x (where x is the switch name) with key values the value of | |
172 | the argument or 1 if no argument is specified. | |
173 | .PP | |
174 | To allow programs to process arguments that look like switches, but aren't, | |
175 | both functions will stop processing switches when they see the argument | |
176 | \&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-\*(C'\fR. The \f(CW\*(C`\-\-\*(C'\fR will be removed from \f(CW@ARGV\fR. | |
177 | .ie n .SH """\-\-help""\fP and \f(CW""\-\-version""" | |
178 | .el .SH "\f(CW\-\-help\fP and \f(CW\-\-version\fP" | |
179 | .IX Header "--help and --version" | |
180 | If \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR is not a recognized switch letter, \fIgetopts()\fR supports arguments | |
181 | \&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-help\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`\-\-version\*(C'\fR. If \f(CW\*(C`main::HELP_MESSAGE()\*(C'\fR and/or | |
182 | \&\f(CW\*(C`main::VERSION_MESSAGE()\*(C'\fR are defined, they are called; the arguments are | |
183 | the output file handle, the name of option-processing package, its version, | |
184 | and the switches string. If the subroutines are not defined, an attempt is | |
185 | made to generate intelligent messages; for best results, define \f(CW$main::VERSION\fR. | |
186 | .PP | |
187 | If embedded documentation (in pod format, see perlpod) is detected | |
188 | in the script, \f(CW\*(C`\-\-help\*(C'\fR will also show how to access the documentation. | |
189 | .PP | |
190 | Note that due to excessive paranoia, if \f(CW$Getopt::Std::STANDARD_HELP_VERSION\fR | |
191 | isn't true (the default is false), then the messages are printed on \s-1STDERR\s0, | |
192 | and the processing continues after the messages are printed. This being | |
193 | the opposite of the standard-conforming behaviour, it is strongly recommended | |
194 | to set \f(CW$Getopt::Std::STANDARD_HELP_VERSION\fR to true. | |
195 | .PP | |
196 | One can change the output file handle of the messages by setting | |
197 | \&\f(CW$Getopt::Std::OUTPUT_HELP_VERSION\fR. One can print the messages of \f(CW\*(C`\-\-help\*(C'\fR | |
198 | (without the \f(CW\*(C`Usage:\*(C'\fR line) and \f(CW\*(C`\-\-version\*(C'\fR by calling functions \fIhelp_mess()\fR | |
199 | and \fIversion_mess()\fR with the switches string as an argument. |
