bb40d378 |
1136 | |
1137 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
1138 | |
1139 | The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function called |
1140 | GetOptions(). This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command |
1141 | line options, with GNU extensions. In general, this means that options |
1142 | have long names instead of single letters, and are introduced with a |
1143 | double dash "--". Support for bundling of command line options, as was |
1144 | the case with the more traditional single-letter approach, is provided |
0b7031a2 |
1145 | but not enabled by default. |
1146 | |
1147 | =head1 Command Line Options, an Introduction |
1148 | |
1149 | Command line operated programs traditionally take their arguments from |
1150 | the command line, for example filenames or other information that the |
1151 | program needs to know. Besides arguments, these programs often take |
1152 | command line I<options> as well. Options are not necessary for the |
1153 | program to work, hence the name 'option', but are used to modify its |
1154 | default behaviour. For example, a program could do its job quietly, |
1155 | but with a suitable option it could provide verbose information about |
1156 | what it did. |
1157 | |
1158 | Command line options come in several flavours. Historically, they are |
1159 | preceded by a single dash C<->, and consist of a single letter. |
1160 | |
1161 | -l -a -c |
1162 | |
1163 | Usually, these single-character options can be bundled: |
1164 | |
1165 | -lac |
1166 | |
1167 | Options can have values, the value is placed after the option |
1168 | character. Sometimes with whitespace in between, sometimes not: |
1169 | |
1170 | -s 24 -s24 |
1171 | |
1172 | Due to the very cryptic nature of these options, another style was |
1173 | developed that used long names. So instead of a cryptic C<-l> one |
1174 | could use the more descriptive C<--long>. To distinguish between a |
1175 | bundle of single-character options and a long one, two dashes are used |
1176 | to precede the option name. Early implementations of long options used |
1177 | a plus C<+> instead. Also, option values could be specified either |
10e5c9cc |
1178 | like |
0b7031a2 |
1179 | |
1180 | --size=24 |
1181 | |
1182 | or |
1183 | |
1184 | --size 24 |
1185 | |
1186 | The C<+> form is now obsolete and strongly deprecated. |
1187 | |
1188 | =head1 Getting Started with Getopt::Long |
1189 | |
1190 | Getopt::Long is the Perl5 successor of C<newgetopt.pl>. This was |
10e5c9cc |
1191 | the first Perl module that provided support for handling the new style |
0b7031a2 |
1192 | of command line options, hence the name Getopt::Long. This module |
1193 | also supports single-character options and bundling. In this case, the |
1194 | options are restricted to alphabetic characters only, and the |
1195 | characters C<?> and C<->. |
1196 | |
1197 | To use Getopt::Long from a Perl program, you must include the |
1198 | following line in your Perl program: |
1199 | |
1200 | use Getopt::Long; |
1201 | |
1202 | This will load the core of the Getopt::Long module and prepare your |
1203 | program for using it. Most of the actual Getopt::Long code is not |
1204 | loaded until you really call one of its functions. |
1205 | |
1206 | In the default configuration, options names may be abbreviated to |
1207 | uniqueness, case does not matter, and a single dash is sufficient, |
1208 | even for long option names. Also, options may be placed between |
1209 | non-option arguments. See L<Configuring Getopt::Long> for more |
1210 | details on how to configure Getopt::Long. |
1211 | |
1212 | =head2 Simple options |
1213 | |
1214 | The most simple options are the ones that take no values. Their mere |
1215 | presence on the command line enables the option. Popular examples are: |
1216 | |
1217 | --all --verbose --quiet --debug |
1218 | |
1219 | Handling simple options is straightforward: |
1220 | |
1221 | my $verbose = ''; # option variable with default value (false) |
1222 | my $all = ''; # option variable with default value (false) |
1223 | GetOptions ('verbose' => \$verbose, 'all' => \$all); |
1224 | |
1225 | The call to GetOptions() parses the command line arguments that are |
1226 | present in C<@ARGV> and sets the option variable to the value C<1> if |
1227 | the option did occur on the command line. Otherwise, the option |
1228 | variable is not touched. Setting the option value to true is often |
1229 | called I<enabling> the option. |
1230 | |
1231 | The option name as specified to the GetOptions() function is called |
1232 | the option I<specification>. Later we'll see that this specification |
1233 | can contain more than just the option name. The reference to the |
1234 | variable is called the option I<destination>. |
1235 | |
1236 | GetOptions() will return a true value if the command line could be |
1237 | processed successfully. Otherwise, it will write error messages to |
1238 | STDERR, and return a false result. |
1239 | |
1240 | =head2 A little bit less simple options |
1241 | |
1242 | Getopt::Long supports two useful variants of simple options: |
1243 | I<negatable> options and I<incremental> options. |
1244 | |
d1be9408 |
1245 | A negatable option is specified with an exclamation mark C<!> after the |
0b7031a2 |
1246 | option name: |
1247 | |
1248 | my $verbose = ''; # option variable with default value (false) |
1249 | GetOptions ('verbose!' => \$verbose); |
1250 | |
1251 | Now, using C<--verbose> on the command line will enable C<$verbose>, |
1252 | as expected. But it is also allowed to use C<--noverbose>, which will |
1253 | disable C<$verbose> by setting its value to C<0>. Using a suitable |
1254 | default value, the program can find out whether C<$verbose> is false |
1255 | by default, or disabled by using C<--noverbose>. |
1256 | |
1257 | An incremental option is specified with a plus C<+> after the |
1258 | option name: |
1259 | |
1260 | my $verbose = ''; # option variable with default value (false) |
1261 | GetOptions ('verbose+' => \$verbose); |
1262 | |
1263 | Using C<--verbose> on the command line will increment the value of |
1264 | C<$verbose>. This way the program can keep track of how many times the |
1265 | option occurred on the command line. For example, each occurrence of |
1266 | C<--verbose> could increase the verbosity level of the program. |
1267 | |
1268 | =head2 Mixing command line option with other arguments |
1269 | |
1270 | Usually programs take command line options as well as other arguments, |
1271 | for example, file names. It is good practice to always specify the |
1272 | options first, and the other arguments last. Getopt::Long will, |
1273 | however, allow the options and arguments to be mixed and 'filter out' |
1274 | all the options before passing the rest of the arguments to the |
1275 | program. To stop Getopt::Long from processing further arguments, |
1276 | insert a double dash C<--> on the command line: |
1277 | |
1278 | --size 24 -- --all |
1279 | |
1280 | In this example, C<--all> will I<not> be treated as an option, but |
1281 | passed to the program unharmed, in C<@ARGV>. |
1282 | |
1283 | =head2 Options with values |
1284 | |
1285 | For options that take values it must be specified whether the option |
1286 | value is required or not, and what kind of value the option expects. |
1287 | |
1288 | Three kinds of values are supported: integer numbers, floating point |
1289 | numbers, and strings. |
1290 | |
1291 | If the option value is required, Getopt::Long will take the |
1292 | command line argument that follows the option and assign this to the |
1293 | option variable. If, however, the option value is specified as |
1294 | optional, this will only be done if that value does not look like a |
1295 | valid command line option itself. |
bb40d378 |
1296 | |
0b7031a2 |
1297 | my $tag = ''; # option variable with default value |
1298 | GetOptions ('tag=s' => \$tag); |
bb40d378 |
1299 | |
0b7031a2 |
1300 | In the option specification, the option name is followed by an equals |
1301 | sign C<=> and the letter C<s>. The equals sign indicates that this |
1302 | option requires a value. The letter C<s> indicates that this value is |
1303 | an arbitrary string. Other possible value types are C<i> for integer |
1304 | values, and C<f> for floating point values. Using a colon C<:> instead |
1305 | of the equals sign indicates that the option value is optional. In |
1306 | this case, if no suitable value is supplied, string valued options get |
1307 | an empty string C<''> assigned, while numeric options are set to C<0>. |
bb40d378 |
1308 | |
0b7031a2 |
1309 | =head2 Options with multiple values |
bb40d378 |
1310 | |
0b7031a2 |
1311 | Options sometimes take several values. For example, a program could |
1312 | use multiple directories to search for library files: |
bb40d378 |
1313 | |
0b7031a2 |
1314 | --library lib/stdlib --library lib/extlib |
bb40d378 |
1315 | |
0b7031a2 |
1316 | To accomplish this behaviour, simply specify an array reference as the |
1317 | destination for the option: |
bb40d378 |
1318 | |
0b7031a2 |
1319 | my @libfiles = (); |
1320 | GetOptions ("library=s" => \@libfiles); |
bb40d378 |
1321 | |
0b7031a2 |
1322 | Used with the example above, C<@libfiles> would contain two strings |
1323 | upon completion: C<"lib/srdlib"> and C<"lib/extlib">, in that order. |
1324 | It is also possible to specify that only integer or floating point |
1325 | numbers are acceptible values. |
bb40d378 |
1326 | |
0b7031a2 |
1327 | Often it is useful to allow comma-separated lists of values as well as |
1328 | multiple occurrences of the options. This is easy using Perl's split() |
1329 | and join() operators: |
bb40d378 |
1330 | |
0b7031a2 |
1331 | my @libfiles = (); |
1332 | GetOptions ("library=s" => \@libfiles); |
1333 | @libfiles = split(/,/,join(',',@libfiles)); |
bb40d378 |
1334 | |
0b7031a2 |
1335 | Of course, it is important to choose the right separator string for |
1336 | each purpose. |
3cb6de81 |
1337 | |
0b7031a2 |
1338 | =head2 Options with hash values |
bb40d378 |
1339 | |
0b7031a2 |
1340 | If the option destination is a reference to a hash, the option will |
1341 | take, as value, strings of the form I<key>C<=>I<value>. The value will |
1342 | be stored with the specified key in the hash. |
bb40d378 |
1343 | |
0b7031a2 |
1344 | my %defines = (); |
1345 | GetOptions ("define=s" => \%defines); |
bb40d378 |
1346 | |
0b7031a2 |
1347 | When used with command line options: |
1348 | |
1349 | --define os=linux --define vendor=redhat |
1350 | |
1351 | the hash C<%defines> will contain two keys, C<"os"> with value |
1352 | C<"linux> and C<"vendor"> with value C<"redhat">. |
1353 | It is also possible to specify that only integer or floating point |
1354 | numbers are acceptible values. The keys are always taken to be strings. |
1355 | |
1356 | =head2 User-defined subroutines to handle options |
1357 | |
1358 | Ultimate control over what should be done when (actually: each time) |
1359 | an option is encountered on the command line can be achieved by |
1360 | designating a reference to a subroutine (or an anonymous subroutine) |
1361 | as the option destination. When GetOptions() encounters the option, it |
2d08fc49 |
1362 | will call the subroutine with two or three arguments. The first |
1363 | argument is the name of the option. For a scalar or array destination, |
1364 | the second argument is the value to be stored. For a hash destination, |
1365 | the second arguments is the key to the hash, and the third argument |
1366 | the value to be stored. It is up to the subroutine to store the value, |
1367 | or do whatever it thinks is appropriate. |
0b7031a2 |
1368 | |
1369 | A trivial application of this mechanism is to implement options that |
1370 | are related to each other. For example: |
1371 | |
1372 | my $verbose = ''; # option variable with default value (false) |
1373 | GetOptions ('verbose' => \$verbose, |
1374 | 'quiet' => sub { $verbose = 0 }); |
1375 | |
1376 | Here C<--verbose> and C<--quiet> control the same variable |
1377 | C<$verbose>, but with opposite values. |
1378 | |
1379 | If the subroutine needs to signal an error, it should call die() with |
1380 | the desired error message as its argument. GetOptions() will catch the |
1381 | die(), issue the error message, and record that an error result must |
1382 | be returned upon completion. |
1383 | |
bee0ef1e |
1384 | If the text of the error message starts with an exclamantion mark C<!> |
1385 | it is interpreted specially by GetOptions(). There is currently one |
1386 | special command implemented: C<die("!FINISH")> will cause GetOptions() |
1387 | to stop processing options, as if it encountered a double dash C<-->. |
0b7031a2 |
1388 | |
1389 | =head2 Options with multiple names |
1390 | |
1391 | Often it is user friendly to supply alternate mnemonic names for |
1392 | options. For example C<--height> could be an alternate name for |
1393 | C<--length>. Alternate names can be included in the option |
1394 | specification, separated by vertical bar C<|> characters. To implement |
1395 | the above example: |
1396 | |
1397 | GetOptions ('length|height=f' => \$length); |
1398 | |
1399 | The first name is called the I<primary> name, the other names are |
1400 | called I<aliases>. |
1401 | |
1402 | Multiple alternate names are possible. |
1403 | |
1404 | =head2 Case and abbreviations |
1405 | |
1406 | Without additional configuration, GetOptions() will ignore the case of |
1407 | option names, and allow the options to be abbreviated to uniqueness. |
1408 | |
1409 | GetOptions ('length|height=f' => \$length, "head" => \$head); |
1410 | |
1411 | This call will allow C<--l> and C<--L> for the length option, but |
1412 | requires a least C<--hea> and C<--hei> for the head and height options. |
1413 | |
1414 | =head2 Summary of Option Specifications |
1415 | |
1416 | Each option specifier consists of two parts: the name specification |
10e5c9cc |
1417 | and the argument specification. |
0b7031a2 |
1418 | |
1419 | The name specification contains the name of the option, optionally |
1420 | followed by a list of alternative names separated by vertical bar |
10e5c9cc |
1421 | characters. |
0b7031a2 |
1422 | |
1423 | length option name is "length" |
1424 | length|size|l name is "length", aliases are "size" and "l" |
1425 | |
1426 | The argument specification is optional. If omitted, the option is |
1427 | considered boolean, a value of 1 will be assigned when the option is |
1428 | used on the command line. |
1429 | |
1430 | The argument specification can be |

bbc7dcd2 |
1432 | =over 4 |
bb40d378 |
1433 | |
1434 | =item ! |
1435 | |
0b7031a2 |
1436 | The option does not take an argument and may be negated, i.e. prefixed |
1437 | by "no". E.g. C<"foo!"> will allow C<--foo> (a value of 1 will be |
265c41c2 |
1438 | assigned) and C<--nofoo> (a value of 0 will be assigned). If the |
1439 | option has aliases, this applies to the aliases as well. |
1440 | |
1441 | Using negation on a single letter option when bundling is in effect is |
1442 | pointless and will result in a warning. |
bb40d378 |
1443 | |
e6d5c530 |
1444 | =item + |
1445 | |
0b7031a2 |
1446 | The option does not take an argument and will be incremented by 1 |
1447 | every time it appears on the command line. E.g. C<"more+">, when used |
1448 | with C<--more --more --more>, will increment the value three times, |
1449 | resulting in a value of 3 (provided it was 0 or undefined at first). |
e6d5c530 |
1450 | |
0b7031a2 |
1451 | The C<+> specifier is ignored if the option destination is not a scalar. |

1473 | plus or minus sign, followed by a sequence of digits, or an octal |
1474 | string (a zero, optionally followed by '0', '1', .. '7'), or a |
1475 | hexadecimal string (C<0x> followed by '0' .. '9', 'a' .. 'f', case |
1476 | insensitive), or a binary string (C<0b> followed by a series of '0' |
1477 | and '1'). |

1479 | =item f |
bb40d378 |

1485 | The I<desttype> can be C<@> or C<%> to specify that the option is |
1486 | list or a hash valued. This is only needed when the destination for |
1487 | the option value is not otherwise specified. It should be omitted when |
1488 | not needed. |

1512 | =head2 Object oriented interface |
1513 | |
1514 | Getopt::Long can be used in an object oriented way as well: |
1515 | |
1516 | use Getopt::Long; |
1517 | $p = new Getopt::Long::Parser; |
1518 | $p->configure(...configuration options...); |
1519 | if ($p->getoptions(...options descriptions...)) ... |
1520 | |
1521 | Configuration options can be passed to the constructor: |
1522 | |
1523 | $p = new Getopt::Long::Parser |
1524 | config => [...configuration options...]; |
1525 | |
1526 | For thread safety, each method call will acquire an exclusive lock to |
1527 | the Getopt::Long module. So don't call these methods from a callback |

1582 | =head2 Storing options in a hash |
404cbe93 |
1583 | |
0b7031a2 |
1584 | Sometimes, for example when there are a lot of options, having a |
1585 | separate variable for each of them can be cumbersome. GetOptions() |
1586 | supports, as an alternative mechanism, storing options in a hash. |
404cbe93 |
1587 | |
0b7031a2 |
1588 | To obtain this, a reference to a hash must be passed I<as the first |
1589 | argument> to GetOptions(). For each option that is specified on the |
1590 | command line, the option value will be stored in the hash with the |
1591 | option name as key. Options that are not actually used on the command |
1592 | line will not be put in the hash, on other words, |
1593 | C<exists($h{option})> (or defined()) can be used to test if an option |
1594 | was used. The drawback is that warnings will be issued if the program |
1595 | runs under C<use strict> and uses C<$h{option}> without testing with |
1596 | exists() or defined() first. |
381319f7 |
1597 | |
0b7031a2 |
1598 | my %h = (); |
1599 | GetOptions (\%h, 'length=i'); # will store in $h{length} |
f06db76b |
1600 | |
0b7031a2 |
1601 | For options that take list or hash values, it is necessary to indicate |
1602 | this by appending an C<@> or C<%> sign after the type: |
f06db76b |
1603 | |
0b7031a2 |
1604 | GetOptions (\%h, 'colours=s@'); # will push to @{$h{colours}} |
f06db76b |
1605 | |
0b7031a2 |
1606 | To make things more complicated, the hash may contain references to |
1607 | the actual destinations, for example: |
f06db76b |
1608 | |
0b7031a2 |
1609 | my $len = 0; |
1610 | my %h = ('length' => \$len); |
1611 | GetOptions (\%h, 'length=i'); # will store in $len |
f06db76b |
1612 | |
0b7031a2 |
1613 | This example is fully equivalent with: |
a11f5414 |
1614 | |
0b7031a2 |
1615 | my $len = 0; |
1616 | GetOptions ('length=i' => \$len); # will store in $len |
f06db76b |
1617 | |
0b7031a2 |
1618 | Any mixture is possible. For example, the most frequently used options |
1619 | could be stored in variables while all other options get stored in the |
1620 | hash: |
f06db76b |
1621 | |
0b7031a2 |
1622 | my $verbose = 0; # frequently referred |
1623 | my $debug = 0; # frequently referred |
1624 | my %h = ('verbose' => \$verbose, 'debug' => \$debug); |
1625 | GetOptions (\%h, 'verbose', 'debug', 'filter', 'size=i'); |
1626 | if ( $verbose ) { ... } |
1627 | if ( exists $h{filter} ) { ... option 'filter' was specified ... } |

1629 | =head2 Bundling |
f06db76b |
1630 | |
0b7031a2 |
1631 | With bundling it is possible to set several single-character options |
1632 | at once. For example if C<a>, C<v> and C<x> are all valid options, |
bb40d378 |
1633 | |
0b7031a2 |
1634 | -vax |
bb40d378 |
1635 | |
0b7031a2 |
1636 | would set all three. |
f06db76b |
1637 | |
0b7031a2 |
1638 | Getopt::Long supports two levels of bundling. To enable bundling, a |
1639 | call to Getopt::Long::Configure is required. |
bb40d378 |
1640 | |
0b7031a2 |
1641 | The first level of bundling can be enabled with: |
f06db76b |
1642 | |
0b7031a2 |
1643 | Getopt::Long::Configure ("bundling"); |
404cbe93 |
1644 | |
0b7031a2 |
1645 | Configured this way, single-character options can be bundled but long |
1646 | options B<must> always start with a double dash C<--> to avoid |
1647 | abiguity. For example, when C<vax>, C<a>, C<v> and C<x> are all valid |
1648 | options, |
404cbe93 |
1649 | |
0b7031a2 |
1650 | -vax |
381319f7 |
1651 | |
10e5c9cc |
1652 | would set C<a>, C<v> and C<x>, but |
404cbe93 |
1653 | |
0b7031a2 |
1654 | --vax |
404cbe93 |
1655 | |
0b7031a2 |
1656 | would set C<vax>. |
a11f5414 |
1657 | |
0b7031a2 |
1658 | The second level of bundling lifts this restriction. It can be enabled |
1659 | with: |
a11f5414 |
1660 | |
0b7031a2 |
1661 | Getopt::Long::Configure ("bundling_override"); |
a11f5414 |
1662 | |
0b7031a2 |
1663 | Now, C<-vax> would set the option C<vax>. |
a11f5414 |
1664 | |
0b7031a2 |
1665 | When any level of bundling is enabled, option values may be inserted |
1666 | in the bundle. For example: |
381319f7 |
1667 | |
0b7031a2 |
1668 | -h24w80 |
f06db76b |
1669 | |
0b7031a2 |
1670 | is equivalent to |
f06db76b |
1671 | |
0b7031a2 |
1672 | -h 24 -w 80 |
f06db76b |
1673 | |
0b7031a2 |
1674 | When configured for bundling, single-character options are matched |
1675 | case sensitive while long options are matched case insensitive. To |
1676 | have the single-character options matched case insensitive as well, |
1677 | use: |
a0d0e21e |
1678 | |
0b7031a2 |
1679 | Getopt::Long::Configure ("bundling", "ignorecase_always"); |
a0d0e21e |
1680 | |
0b7031a2 |
1681 | It goes without saying that bundling can be quite confusing. |

1682 | |
0b7031a2 |
1683 | =head2 The lonesome dash |
404cbe93 |
1684 | |
ea071ac9 |
1685 | Normally, a lone dash C<-> on the command line will not be considered |
1686 | an option. Option processing will terminate (unless "permute" is |
1687 | configured) and the dash will be left in C<@ARGV>. |
1688 | |
1689 | It is possible to get special treatment for a lone dash. This can be |
1690 | achieved by adding an option specification with an empty name, for |
1691 | example: |
a0d0e21e |
1692 | |
0b7031a2 |
1693 | GetOptions ('' => \$stdio); |
a11f5414 |
1694 | |
ea071ac9 |
1695 | A lone dash on the command line will now be a legal option, and using |
1696 | it will set variable C<$stdio>. |
a0d0e21e |
1697 | |
2d08fc49 |
1698 | =head2 Argument callback |
a0d0e21e |
1699 | |
0b7031a2 |
1700 | A special option 'name' C<<>> can be used to designate a subroutine |
1701 | to handle non-option arguments. When GetOptions() encounters an |
1702 | argument that does not look like an option, it will immediately call this |
2d08fc49 |
1703 | subroutine and passes it one parameter: the argument name. |
a0d0e21e |
1704 | |
0b7031a2 |
1705 | For example: |
a0d0e21e |
1706 | |
0b7031a2 |
1707 | my $width = 80; |
1708 | sub process { ... } |
1709 | GetOptions ('width=i' => \$width, '<>' => \&process); |
a0d0e21e |
1710 | |
0b7031a2 |
1711 | When applied to the following command line: |
a11f5414 |
1712 | |
0b7031a2 |
1713 | arg1 --width=72 arg2 --width=60 arg3 |
404cbe93 |
1714 | |
10e5c9cc |
1715 | This will call |
1716 | C<process("arg1")> while C<$width> is C<80>, |
0b7031a2 |
1717 | C<process("arg2")> while C<$width> is C<72>, and |
1718 | C<process("arg3")> while C<$width> is C<60>. |
381319f7 |
1719 | |
0b7031a2 |
1720 | This feature requires configuration option B<permute>, see section |
1721 | L<Configuring Getopt::Long>. |

a0d0e21e |
1723 | |
0b7031a2 |
1724 | =head1 Configuring Getopt::Long |
1725 | |
1726 | Getopt::Long can be configured by calling subroutine |
1727 | Getopt::Long::Configure(). This subroutine takes a list of quoted |
10e5c9cc |
1728 | strings, each specifying a configuration option to be enabled, e.g. |
1729 | C<ignore_case>, or disabled, e.g. C<no_ignore_case>. Case does not |
0b7031a2 |
1730 | matter. Multiple calls to Configure() are possible. |
404cbe93 |
1731 | |
10e5c9cc |
1732 | Alternatively, as of version 2.24, the configuration options may be |
1733 | passed together with the C<use> statement: |
1734 | |
1735 | use Getopt::Long qw(:config no_ignore_case bundling); |
1736 | |
bb40d378 |
1737 | The following options are available: |
404cbe93 |
1738 | |
bb40d378 |
1739 | =over 12 |
a0d0e21e |
1740 | |
bb40d378 |
1741 | =item default |
a0d0e21e |
1742 | |
bb40d378 |
1743 | This option causes all configuration options to be reset to their |
1744 | default values. |
404cbe93 |
1745 | |
10e5c9cc |
1746 | =item posix_default |
1747 | |
1748 | This option causes all configuration options to be reset to their |
1749 | default values as if the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT had |
1750 | been set. |
1751 | |
bb40d378 |
1752 | =item auto_abbrev |
404cbe93 |
1753 | |
bb40d378 |
1754 | Allow option names to be abbreviated to uniqueness. |
10e5c9cc |
1755 | Default is enabled unless environment variable |
1756 | POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case C<auto_abbrev> is disabled. |
404cbe93 |
1757 | |
0b7031a2 |
1758 | =item getopt_compat |
a0d0e21e |
1759 | |
0b7031a2 |
1760 | Allow C<+> to start options. |
10e5c9cc |
1761 | Default is enabled unless environment variable |
1762 | POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case C<getopt_compat> is disabled. |
88e49c4e |
1763 | |
8ed53c8c |
1764 | =item gnu_compat |
1765 | |
1766 | C<gnu_compat> controls whether C<--opt=> is allowed, and what it should |
1767 | do. Without C<gnu_compat>, C<--opt=> gives an error. With C<gnu_compat>, |
1768 | C<--opt=> will give option C<opt> and empty value. |
1769 | This is the way GNU getopt_long() does it. |
1770 | |
1771 | =item gnu_getopt |
1772 | |
1773 | This is a short way of setting C<gnu_compat> C<bundling> C<permute> |
1774 | C<no_getopt_compat>. With C<gnu_getopt>, command line handling should be |
1775 | fully compatible with GNU getopt_long(). |
1776 | |
bb40d378 |
1777 | =item require_order |
404cbe93 |
1778 | |
0b7031a2 |
1779 | Whether command line arguments are allowed to be mixed with options. |
10e5c9cc |
1780 | Default is disabled unless environment variable |
1781 | POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case C<require_order> is enabled. |
404cbe93 |
1782 | |
0b7031a2 |
1783 | See also C<permute>, which is the opposite of C<require_order>. |
a0d0e21e |
1784 | |
bb40d378 |
1785 | =item permute |
404cbe93 |
1786 | |
0b7031a2 |
1787 | Whether command line arguments are allowed to be mixed with options. |
10e5c9cc |
1788 | Default is enabled unless environment variable |
1789 | POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case C<permute> is disabled. |
0b7031a2 |
1790 | Note that C<permute> is the opposite of C<require_order>. |
a0d0e21e |
1791 | |
10e5c9cc |
1792 | If C<permute> is enabled, this means that |
a0d0e21e |
1793 | |
0b7031a2 |
1794 | --foo arg1 --bar arg2 arg3 |
a0d0e21e |
1795 | |
bb40d378 |
1796 | is equivalent to |
a0d0e21e |
1797 | |
0b7031a2 |
1798 | --foo --bar arg1 arg2 arg3 |
a0d0e21e |
1799 | |
2d08fc49 |
1800 | If an argument callback routine is specified, C<@ARGV> will always be |
0b7031a2 |
1801 | empty upon succesful return of GetOptions() since all options have been |
1802 | processed. The only exception is when C<--> is used: |
a0d0e21e |
1803 | |
0b7031a2 |
1804 | --foo arg1 --bar arg2 -- arg3 |
404cbe93 |
1805 | |
2d08fc49 |
1806 | This will call the callback routine for arg1 and arg2, and then |
1807 | terminate GetOptions() leaving C<"arg2"> in C<@ARGV>. |
381319f7 |
1808 | |
10e5c9cc |
1809 | If C<require_order> is enabled, options processing |
bb40d378 |
1810 | terminates when the first non-option is encountered. |
a0d0e21e |
1811 | |
0b7031a2 |
1812 | --foo arg1 --bar arg2 arg3 |
381319f7 |
1813 | |
bb40d378 |
1814 | is equivalent to |
381319f7 |
1815 | |
0b7031a2 |
1816 | --foo -- arg1 --bar arg2 arg3 |
404cbe93 |
1817 | |
ac634a9a |
1818 | If C<pass_through> is also enabled, options processing will terminate |
1819 | at the first unrecognized option, or non-option, whichever comes |
1820 | first. |
1821 | |
10e5c9cc |
1822 | =item bundling (default: disabled) |
404cbe93 |
1823 | |
bd444ebb |
1824 | Enabling this option will allow single-character options to be |
1825 | bundled. To distinguish bundles from long option names, long options |
1826 | I<must> be introduced with C<--> and bundles with C<->. |
1827 | |
1828 | Note that, if you have options C<a>, C<l> and C<all>, and |
1829 | auto_abbrev enabled, possible arguments and option settings are: |
1830 | |
1831 | using argument sets option(s) |
1832 | ------------------------------------------ |
1833 | -a, --a a |
1834 | -l, --l l |
1835 | -al, -la, -ala, -all,... a, l |
1836 | --al, --all all |
1837 | |
1838 | The suprising part is that C<--a> sets option C<a> (due to auto |
1839 | completion), not C<all>. |
bb40d378 |
1840 | |
10e5c9cc |
1841 | Note: disabling C<bundling> also disables C<bundling_override>. |
a11f5414 |
1842 | |
10e5c9cc |
1843 | =item bundling_override (default: disabled) |
381319f7 |
1844 | |
10e5c9cc |
1845 | If C<bundling_override> is enabled, bundling is enabled as with |
1846 | C<bundling> but now long option names override option bundles. |
381319f7 |
1847 | |
10e5c9cc |
1848 | Note: disabling C<bundling_override> also disables C<bundling>. |
381319f7 |
1849 | |
bb40d378 |
1850 | B<Note:> Using option bundling can easily lead to unexpected results, |
1851 | especially when mixing long options and bundles. Caveat emptor. |
381319f7 |
1852 | |
10e5c9cc |
1853 | =item ignore_case (default: enabled) |
381319f7 |
1854 | |
bd444ebb |
1855 | If enabled, case is ignored when matching long option names. If, |
1856 | however, bundling is enabled as well, single character options will be |
1857 | treated case-sensitive. |
1858 | |
1859 | With C<ignore_case>, option specifications for options that only |
1860 | differ in case, e.g., C<"foo"> and C<"Foo">, will be flagged as |
1861 | duplicates. |
381319f7 |
1862 | |
10e5c9cc |
1863 | Note: disabling C<ignore_case> also disables C<ignore_case_always>. |
381319f7 |
1864 | |
10e5c9cc |
1865 | =item ignore_case_always (default: disabled) |
a11f5414 |
1866 | |
bb40d378 |
1867 | When bundling is in effect, case is ignored on single-character |
10e5c9cc |
1868 | options also. |
381319f7 |
1869 | |
10e5c9cc |
1870 | Note: disabling C<ignore_case_always> also disables C<ignore_case>. |
381319f7 |

10e5c9cc |
1872 | =item pass_through (default: disabled) |
a0d0e21e |
1873 | |
0b7031a2 |
1874 | Options that are unknown, ambiguous or supplied with an invalid option |
1875 | value are passed through in C<@ARGV> instead of being flagged as |
1876 | errors. This makes it possible to write wrapper scripts that process |
1877 | only part of the user supplied command line arguments, and pass the |
bb40d378 |
1878 | remaining options to some other program. |
a0d0e21e |
1879 | |
ac634a9a |
1880 | If C<require_order> is enabled, options processing will terminate at |
1881 | the first unrecognized option, or non-option, whichever comes first. |
1882 | However, if C<permute> is enabled instead, results can become confusing. |
16c18a90 |

1887 | sufficient, see C<prefix_pattern>. |
3a0431da |
1888 | |
1889 | =item prefix_pattern |
1890 | |
1891 | A Perl pattern that identifies the strings that introduce options. |
1892 | Default is C<(--|-|\+)> unless environment variable |

1901 | =head1 Return values and Errors |
381319f7 |
1902 | |
0b7031a2 |
1903 | Configuration errors and errors in the option definitions are |
1904 | signalled using die() and will terminate the calling program unless |
1905 | the call to Getopt::Long::GetOptions() was embedded in C<eval { ... |
1906 | }>, or die() was trapped using C<$SIG{__DIE__}>. |
a0d0e21e |
1907 | |
10e5c9cc |
1908 | GetOptions returns true to indicate success. |
1909 | It returns false when the function detected one or more errors during |
1910 | option parsing. These errors are signalled using warn() and can be |
1911 | trapped with C<$SIG{__WARN__}>. |
a0d0e21e |
1912 | |
0b7031a2 |
1913 | Errors that can't happen are signalled using Carp::croak(). |

1915 | =head1 Legacy |
a0d0e21e |
1916 | |
0b7031a2 |
1917 | The earliest development of C<newgetopt.pl> started in 1990, with Perl |
1918 | version 4. As a result, its development, and the development of |
1919 | Getopt::Long, has gone through several stages. Since backward |
1920 | compatibility has always been extremely important, the current version |
1921 | of Getopt::Long still supports a lot of constructs that nowadays are |
1922 | no longer necessary or otherwise unwanted. This section describes |
1923 | briefly some of these 'features'. |
a0d0e21e |
1924 | |
0b7031a2 |
1925 | =head2 Default destinations |
a0d0e21e |
1926 | |
0b7031a2 |
1927 | When no destination is specified for an option, GetOptions will store |
1928 | the resultant value in a global variable named C<opt_>I<XXX>, where |
1929 | I<XXX> is the primary name of this option. When a progam executes |
1930 | under C<use strict> (recommended), these variables must be |
1931 | pre-declared with our() or C<use vars>. |
1932 | |
1933 | our $opt_length = 0; |
1934 | GetOptions ('length=i'); # will store in $opt_length |
1935 | |
1936 | To yield a usable Perl variable, characters that are not part of the |
1937 | syntax for variables are translated to underscores. For example, |
1938 | C<--fpp-struct-return> will set the variable |
1939 | C<$opt_fpp_struct_return>. Note that this variable resides in the |
1940 | namespace of the calling program, not necessarily C<main>. For |
1941 | example: |
1942 | |
1943 | GetOptions ("size=i", "sizes=i@"); |
1944 | |
1945 | with command line "-size 10 -sizes 24 -sizes 48" will perform the |
1946 | equivalent of the assignments |
1947 | |
1948 | $opt_size = 10; |
1949 | @opt_sizes = (24, 48); |
1950 | |
1951 | =head2 Alternative option starters |
1952 | |
1953 | A string of alternative option starter characters may be passed as the |
1954 | first argument (or the first argument after a leading hash reference |
1955 | argument). |
1956 | |
1957 | my $len = 0; |
1958 | GetOptions ('/', 'length=i' => $len); |
1959 | |
1960 | Now the command line may look like: |
1961 | |
1962 | /length 24 -- arg |
1963 | |
1964 | Note that to terminate options processing still requires a double dash |
1965 | C<-->. |
1966 | |
10e5c9cc |
1967 | GetOptions() will not interpret a leading C<< "<>" >> as option starters |
1968 | if the next argument is a reference. To force C<< "<" >> and C<< ">" >> as |
1969 | option starters, use C<< "><" >>. Confusing? Well, B<using a starter |
0b7031a2 |
1970 | argument is strongly deprecated> anyway. |
1971 | |
1972 | =head2 Configuration variables |
1973 | |
1974 | Previous versions of Getopt::Long used variables for the purpose of |
10e5c9cc |
1975 | configuring. Although manipulating these variables still work, it is |
1976 | strongly encouraged to use the C<Configure> routine that was introduced |
1977 | in version 2.17. Besides, it is much easier. |
1978 | |
1979 | =head1 Trouble Shooting |
1980 | |
1981 | =head2 Warning: Ignoring '!' modifier for short option |
1982 | |
1983 | This warning is issued when the '!' modifier is applied to a short |
1984 | (one-character) option and bundling is in effect. E.g., |
1985 | |
1986 | Getopt::Long::Configure("bundling"); |
1987 | GetOptions("foo|f!" => \$foo); |
1988 | |
1989 | Note that older Getopt::Long versions did not issue a warning, because |
1990 | the '!' modifier was applied to the first name only. This bug was |
1991 | fixed in 2.22. |
1992 | |
1993 | Solution: separate the long and short names and apply the '!' to the |
1994 | long names only, e.g., |

1998 | =head2 GetOptions does not return a false result when an option is not supplied |
1999 | |
2000 | That's why they're called 'options'. |

2002 | =head2 GetOptions does not split the command line correctly |
2003 | |
2004 | The command line is not split by GetOptions, but by the command line |
2005 | interpreter (CLI). On Unix, this is the shell. On Windows, it is |
2006 | COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE. Other operating systems have other CLIs. |
2007 | |
2008 | It is important to know that these CLIs may behave different when the |
2009 | command line contains special characters, in particular quotes or |
2010 | backslashes. For example, with Unix shells you can use single quotes |
2011 | (C<'>) and double quotes (C<">) to group words together. The following |
2012 | alternatives are equivalent on Unix: |
2013 | |
2014 | "two words" |
2015 | 'two words' |
2016 | two\ words |
2017 | |
2018 | In case of doubt, insert the following statement in front of your Perl |
2019 | program: |
2020 | |
2021 | print STDERR (join("|",@ARGV),"\n"); |
2022 | |
2023 | to verify how your CLI passes the arguments to the program. |

2025 | =head2 How do I put a "-?" option into a Getopt::Long? |
2026 | |
2027 | You can only obtain this using an alias, and Getopt::Long of at least |
2028 | version 2.13. |
2029 | |
2030 | use Getopt::Long; |
2031 | GetOptions ("help|?"); # -help and -? will both set $opt_help |
