Method Detail

checkOption

public int checkOption(String mainName,
                       char ch,
                       String arg)

Description copied from class: CmdlineGenericConsumer

Handle subclass-specific command line options and their arguments.

If -abc -d efg -h -1 -i is specified, this method will be called a maximum of 5 times:

• checkOption(mainName, 'a', "bc");
• checkOption(mainName, 'd', "efg");
• checkOption(mainName, 'h', "-1");
• checkOption(mainName, '1', "-i");
• checkOption(mainName, 'i', null);

Note that either of the last two method calls may not happen if the preceeding method call claims to have used the following argument (by returning 2.

For example, if the third call (where ch is set to 'h') returns 0 or 1, the next call will contain '1' and "-i". If, however, the third call returns 2, the next call will contain 'i' and null.

Specified by:

checkOption in interface CmdlineConsumer

Overrides:

checkOption in class CmdlineGenericConsumer

Parameters:

mainName - The name of the main class (useful for error messages.)

ch - Option character. If -a is specified on the command line, 'a' would be passed to this method.)

arg - The argument associated with this option.

Returns:

less than 0 to indicate an error
0 to indicate that this option is not used by this class
1 to indicate that only the option was used
2 or greater to indicate that both the option and the argument were used

initializeArgs

public void initializeArgs()

Description copied from class: CmdlineGenericConsumer

Method used to initialize any instance variables which may be changed by a cmdline option.

This is needed when arguments are processed inside the constructor. If the first line in the constructor in a class which extends this class is super(args), CmdlineParser will be run before any instance variables for the extending class are initialized.

To ensure all instance variables are properly initialized, place the initialization code in the initializeArgs() method.

Specified by:

initializeArgs in interface CmdlineConsumer

Overrides:

initializeArgs in class CmdlineGenericConsumer

optionUsage

public String optionUsage()

Description copied from class: CmdlineGenericConsumer

A short string included in the usage message to indicate valid options. An example might be "[-t type]".

Specified by:

optionUsage in interface CmdlineConsumer

Overrides:

optionUsage in class CmdlineGenericConsumer

Returns:

A very terse description string.

main

public static final void main(String[] args)
