## Define an option. +name+ is the option name, a unique identifier
## for the option that you will use internally, which should be a
## symbol or a string. +desc+ is a string description which will be
## displayed in help messages.
##
## Takes the following optional arguments:
##
## [+:long+] Specify the long form of the argument, i.e. the form with two dashes. If unspecified, will be automatically derived based on the argument name by turning the +name+ option into a string, and replacing any _'s by -'s.
## [+:short+] Specify the short form of the argument, i.e. the form with one dash. If unspecified, will be automatically derived from +name+.
## [+:type+] Require that the argument take a parameter or parameters of type +type+. For a single parameter, the value can be a member of +SINGLE_ARG_TYPES+, or a corresponding Ruby class (e.g. +Integer+ for +:int+). For multiple-argument parameters, the value can be any member of +MULTI_ARG_TYPES+ constant. If unset, the default argument type is +:flag+, meaning that the argument does not take a parameter. The specification of +:type+ is not necessary if a +:default+ is given.
## [+:default+] Set the default value for an argument. Without a default value, the hash returned by #parse (and thus Trollop::options) will have a +nil+ value for this key unless the argument is given on the commandline. The argument type is derived automatically from the class of the default value given, so specifying a +:type+ is not necessary if a +:default+ is given. (But see below for an important caveat when +:multi+: is specified too.) If the argument is a flag, and the default is set to +true+, then if it is specified on the the commandline the value will be +false+.
## [+:required+] If set to +true+, the argument must be provided on the commandline.
## [+:multi+] If set to +true+, allows multiple occurrences of the option on the commandline. Otherwise, only a single instance of the option is allowed. (Note that this is different from taking multiple parameters. See below.)
##
## Note that there are two types of argument multiplicity: an argument
## can take multiple values, e.g. "--arg 1 2 3". An argument can also
## be allowed to occur multiple times, e.g. "--arg 1 --arg 2".
##
## Arguments that take multiple values should have a +:type+ parameter
## drawn from +MULTI_ARG_TYPES+ (e.g. +:strings+), or a +:default:+
## value of an array of the correct type (e.g. [String]). The
## value of this argument will be an array of the parameters on the
## commandline.
##
## Arguments that can occur multiple times should be marked with
## +:multi+ => +true+. The value of this argument will also be an array.
## In contrast with regular non-multi options, if not specified on
## the commandline, the default value will be [], not nil.
##
## These two attributes can be combined (e.g. +:type+ => +:strings+,
## +:multi+ => +true+), in which case the value of the argument will be
## an array of arrays.
##
## There's one ambiguous case to be aware of: when +:multi+: is true and a
## +:default+ is set to an array (of something), it's ambiguous whether this
## is a multi-value argument as well as a multi-occurrence argument.
## In thise case, Trollop assumes that it's not a multi-value argument.
## If you want a multi-value, multi-occurrence argument with a default
## value, you must specify +:type+ as well.

## The easy, syntactic-sugary entry method into Trollop. Creates a Parser,
## passes the block to it, then parses +args+ with it, handling any errors or
## requests for help or version information appropriately (and then exiting).
## Modifies +args+ in place. Returns a hash of option values.
##
## The block passed in should contain zero or more calls to +opt+
## (Parser#opt), zero or more calls to +text+ (Parser#text), and
## probably a call to +version+ (Parser#version).
##
## The returned block contains a value for every option specified with
## +opt+. The value will be the value given on the commandline, or the
## default value if the option was not specified on the commandline. For
## every option specified on the commandline, a key "<option
## name>_given" will also be set in the hash.
##
## Example:
##
## require 'trollop'
## opts = Trollop::options do
## opt :monkey, "Use monkey mode" # a flag --monkey, defaulting to false
## opt :goat, "Use goat mode", :default => true # a flag --goat, defaulting to true
## opt :num_limbs, "Number of limbs", :default => 4 # an integer --num-limbs <i>, defaulting to 4
## opt :num_thumbs, "Number of thumbs", :type => :int # an integer --num-thumbs <i>, defaulting to nil
## end
##
## ## if called with no arguments
## p opts # => { :monkey => false, :goat => true, :num_limbs => 4, :num_thumbs => nil }
##
## ## if called with --monkey
## p opts # => {:monkey_given=>true, :monkey=>true, :goat=>true, :num_limbs=>4, :help=>false, :num_thumbs=>nil}
##
## See more examples at http://trollop.rubyforge.org.
def options args=ARGV, *a, &b
@last_parser = Parser.new(*a, &b)
with_standard_exception_handling(@last_parser) { @last_parser.parse args }
end
## If Trollop::options doesn't do quite what you want, you can create a Parser
## object and call Parser#parse on it. That method will throw CommandlineError,
## HelpNeeded and VersionNeeded exceptions when necessary; if you want to
## have these handled for you in the standard manner (e.g. show the help
## and then exit upon an HelpNeeded exception), call your code from within
## a block passed to this method.
##
## Note that this method will call System#exit after handling an exception!
##
## Usage example:
##
## require 'trollop'
## p = Trollop::Parser.new do
## opt :monkey, "Use monkey mode" # a flag --monkey, defaulting to false
## opt :goat, "Use goat mode", :default => true # a flag --goat, defaulting to true
## end
##
## opts = Trollop::with_standard_exception_handling p do
## o = p.parse ARGV
## raise Trollop::HelpNeeded if ARGV.empty? # show help screen
## o
## end
##
## Requires passing in the parser object.
def with_standard_exception_handling parser
begin
yield
rescue CommandlineError => e
$stderr.puts "Error: #{e.message}."
$stderr.puts "Try --help for help."
exit(-1)
rescue HelpNeeded
parser.educate
exit
rescue VersionNeeded
puts parser.version
exit
end
end
## Informs the user that their usage of 'arg' was wrong, as detailed by
## 'msg', and dies. Example:
##
## options do
## opt :volume, :default => 0.0
## end
##
## die :volume, "too loud" if opts[:volume] > 10.0
## die :volume, "too soft" if opts[:volume] < 0.1
##
## In the one-argument case, simply print that message, a notice
## about -h, and die. Example:
##
## options do
## opt :whatever # ...
## end
##
## Trollop::die "need at least one filename" if ARGV.empty?
def die arg, msg=nil
if @last_parser
@last_parser.die arg, msg
