18 | Pod::Usage, pod2usage() - print a usage message from embedded pod documentation |
19 | |
20 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
21 | |
22 | use Pod::Usage |
23 | |
24 | my $message_text = "This text precedes the usage message."; |
25 | my $exit_status = 2; ## The exit status to use |
26 | my $verbose_level = 0; ## The verbose level to use |
27 | my $filehandle = \*STDERR; ## The filehandle to write to |
28 | |
29 | pod2usage($message_text); |
30 | |
31 | pod2usage($exit_status); |
32 | |
33 | pod2usage( { -message => $message_text , |
34 | -exitval => $exit_status , |
35 | -verbose => $verbose_level, |
36 | -output => $filehandle } ); |
37 | |
38 | pod2usage( -msg => $message_text , |
39 | -exitval => $exit_status , |
40 | -verbose => $verbose_level, |
41 | -output => $filehandle ); |
42 | |
43 | =head1 ARGUMENTS |
44 | |
45 | B<pod2usage> should be given either a single argument, or a list of |
46 | arguments corresponding to an associative array (a "hash"). When a single |
47 | argument is given, it should correspond to exactly one of the following: |
48 | |
92e3d63a |
49 | =over 4 |
360aca43 |
50 | |
51 | =item * |
52 | |
53 | A string containing the text of a message to print I<before> printing |
54 | the usage message |
55 | |
56 | =item * |
57 | |
58 | A numeric value corresponding to the desired exit status |
59 | |
60 | =item * |
61 | |
62 | A reference to a hash |
63 | |
64 | =back |
65 | |
66 | If more than one argument is given then the entire argument list is |
67 | assumed to be a hash. If a hash is supplied (either as a reference or |
68 | as a list) it should contain one or more elements with the following |
69 | keys: |
70 | |
92e3d63a |
71 | =over 4 |
360aca43 |
72 | |
73 | =item C<-message> |
74 | |
75 | =item C<-msg> |
76 | |
77 | The text of a message to print immediately prior to printing the |
78 | program's usage message. |
79 | |
80 | =item C<-exitval> |
81 | |
82 | The desired exit status to pass to the B<exit()> function. |
39a52d2c |
83 | This should be an integer, or else the string "NOEXIT" to |
84 | indicate that control should simply be returned without |
85 | terminating the invoking process. |
360aca43 |
86 | |
87 | =item C<-verbose> |
88 | |
89 | The desired level of "verboseness" to use when printing the usage |
90 | message. If the corresponding value is 0, then only the "SYNOPSIS" |
91 | section of the pod documentation is printed. If the corresponding value |
92 | is 1, then the "SYNOPSIS" section, along with any section entitled |
93 | "OPTIONS", "ARGUMENTS", or "OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS" is printed. If the |
94 | corresponding value is 2 or more then the entire manpage is printed. |
95 | |
96 | =item C<-output> |
97 | |
98 | A reference to a filehandle, or the pathname of a file to which the |
99 | usage message should be written. The default is C<\*STDERR> unless the |
100 | exit value is less than 2 (in which case the default is C<\*STDOUT>). |
101 | |
102 | =item C<-input> |
103 | |
104 | A reference to a filehandle, or the pathname of a file from which the |
105 | invoking script's pod documentation should be read. It defaults to the |
106 | file indicated by C<$0> (C<$PROGRAM_NAME> for users of F<English.pm>). |
107 | |
108 | =item C<-pathlist> |
109 | |
110 | A list of directory paths. If the input file does not exist, then it |
111 | will be searched for in the given directory list (in the order the |
112 | directories appear in the list). It defaults to the list of directories |
113 | implied by C<$ENV{PATH}>. The list may be specified either by a reference |
114 | to an array, or by a string of directory paths which use the same path |
115 | separator as C<$ENV{PATH}> on your system (e.g., C<:> for Unix, C<;> for |
116 | MSWin32 and DOS). |

120 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
121 | |
122 | B<pod2usage> will print a usage message for the invoking script (using |
123 | its embedded pod documentation) and then exit the script with the |
124 | desired exit status. The usage message printed may have any one of three |
125 | levels of "verboseness": If the verbose level is 0, then only a synopsis |
126 | is printed. If the verbose level is 1, then the synopsis is printed |
127 | along with a description (if present) of the command line options and |
128 | arguments. If the verbose level is 2, then the entire manual page is |
129 | printed. |
130 | |
131 | Unless they are explicitly specified, the default values for the exit |
132 | status, verbose level, and output stream to use are determined as |
133 | follows: |
134 | |
92e3d63a |
135 | =over 4 |
360aca43 |
136 | |
137 | =item * |
138 | |
139 | If neither the exit status nor the verbose level is specified, then the |
140 | default is to use an exit status of 2 with a verbose level of 0. |
141 | |
142 | =item * |
143 | |
144 | If an exit status I<is> specified but the verbose level is I<not>, then the |
145 | verbose level will default to 1 if the exit status is less than 2 and |
146 | will default to 0 otherwise. |
147 | |
148 | =item * |
149 | |
150 | If an exit status is I<not> specified but verbose level I<is> given, then |
151 | the exit status will default to 2 if the verbose level is 0 and will |
152 | default to 1 otherwise. |
153 | |
154 | =item * |
155 | |
156 | If the exit status used is less than 2, then output is printed on |
157 | C<STDOUT>. Otherwise output is printed on C<STDERR>. |
158 | |
159 | =back |
160 | |
161 | Although the above may seem a bit confusing at first, it generally does |
162 | "the right thing" in most situations. This determination of the default |
163 | values to use is based upon the following typical Unix conventions: |
164 | |
92e3d63a |
165 | =over 4 |
360aca43 |
166 | |
167 | =item * |
168 | |
169 | An exit status of 0 implies "success". For example, B<diff(1)> exits |
170 | with a status of 0 if the two files have the same contents. |
171 | |
172 | =item * |
173 | |
174 | An exit status of 1 implies possibly abnormal, but non-defective, program |
175 | termination. For example, B<grep(1)> exits with a status of 1 if |
176 | it did I<not> find a matching line for the given regular expression. |
177 | |
178 | =item * |
179 | |
180 | An exit status of 2 or more implies a fatal error. For example, B<ls(1)> |
181 | exits with a status of 2 if you specify an illegal (unknown) option on |
182 | the command line. |
183 | |
184 | =item * |
185 | |
186 | Usage messages issued as a result of bad command-line syntax should go |
187 | to C<STDERR>. However, usage messages issued due to an explicit request |
188 | to print usage (like specifying B<-help> on the command line) should go |
189 | to C<STDOUT>, just in case the user wants to pipe the output to a pager |
190 | (such as B<more(1)>). |
191 | |
192 | =item * |
193 | |
194 | If program usage has been explicitly requested by the user, it is often |
195 | desireable to exit with a status of 1 (as opposed to 0) after issuing |
196 | the user-requested usage message. It is also desireable to give a |
197 | more verbose description of program usage in this case. |
198 | |
199 | =back |
200 | |
201 | B<pod2usage> doesn't force the above conventions upon you, but it will |
202 | use them by default if you don't expressly tell it to do otherwise. The |
203 | ability of B<pod2usage()> to accept a single number or a string makes it |
204 | convenient to use as an innocent looking error message handling function: |
205 | |
206 | use Pod::Usage; |
207 | use Getopt::Long; |
208 | |
209 | ## Parse options |
210 | GetOptions("help", "man", "flag1") || pod2usage(2); |
211 | pod2usage(1) if ($opt_help); |
212 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2) if ($opt_man); |
213 | |
214 | ## Check for too many filenames |
215 | pod2usage("$0: Too many files given.\n") if (@ARGV > 1); |
216 | |
92e3d63a |
217 | Some user's however may feel that the above "economy of expression" is |
360aca43 |
218 | not particularly readable nor consistent and may instead choose to do |
219 | something more like the following: |
220 | |
221 | use Pod::Usage; |
222 | use Getopt::Long; |
223 | |
224 | ## Parse options |
225 | GetOptions("help", "man", "flag1") || pod2usage(-verbose => 0); |
226 | pod2usage(-verbose => 1) if ($opt_help); |
227 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2) if ($opt_man); |
228 | |
229 | ## Check for too many filenames |
230 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2, -message => "$0: Too many files given.\n") |
231 | if (@ARGV > 1); |
232 | |
233 | As with all things in Perl, I<there's more than one way to do it>, and |
234 | B<pod2usage()> adheres to this philosophy. If you are interested in |
235 | seeing a number of different ways to invoke B<pod2usage> (although by no |
236 | means exhaustive), please refer to L<"EXAMPLES">. |
237 | |
238 | =head1 EXAMPLES |
239 | |
240 | Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print just the |
241 | "SYNOPSIS" section to C<STDERR> and will exit with a status of 2: |
242 | |
243 | pod2usage(); |
244 | |
245 | pod2usage(2); |
246 | |
247 | pod2usage(-verbose => 0); |
248 | |
249 | pod2usage(-exitval => 2); |
250 | |
251 | pod2usage({-exitval => 2, -output => \*STDERR}); |
252 | |
253 | pod2usage({-verbose => 0, -output => \*STDERR}); |
254 | |
255 | pod2usage(-exitval => 2, -verbose => 0); |
256 | |
257 | pod2usage(-exitval => 2, -verbose => 0, -output => \*STDERR); |
258 | |
259 | Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print a message |
260 | of "Syntax error." (followed by a newline) to C<STDERR>, immediately |
261 | followed by just the "SYNOPSIS" section (also printed to C<STDERR>) and |
262 | will exit with a status of 2: |
263 | |
264 | pod2usage("Syntax error."); |
265 | |
266 | pod2usage(-message => "Syntax error.", -verbose => 0); |
267 | |
268 | pod2usage(-msg => "Syntax error.", -exitval => 2); |
269 | |
270 | pod2usage({-msg => "Syntax error.", -exitval => 2, -output => \*STDERR}); |
271 | |
272 | pod2usage({-msg => "Syntax error.", -verbose => 0, -output => \*STDERR}); |
273 | |
274 | pod2usage(-msg => "Syntax error.", -exitval => 2, -verbose => 0); |
275 | |
276 | pod2usage(-message => "Syntax error.", |
277 | -exitval => 2, |
278 | -verbose => 0, |
279 | -output => \*STDERR); |
280 | |
281 | Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print the |
282 | "SYNOPSIS" section and any "OPTIONS" and/or "ARGUMENTS" sections to |
283 | C<STDOUT> and will exit with a status of 1: |
284 | |
285 | pod2usage(1); |
286 | |
287 | pod2usage(-verbose => 1); |
288 | |
289 | pod2usage(-exitval => 1); |
290 | |
291 | pod2usage({-exitval => 1, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
292 | |
293 | pod2usage({-verbose => 1, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
294 | |
295 | pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 1); |
296 | |
297 | pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 1, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
298 | |
299 | Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print the |
300 | entire manual page to C<STDOUT> and will exit with a status of 1: |
301 | |
302 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2); |
303 | |
304 | pod2usage({-verbose => 2, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
305 | |
306 | pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 2); |
307 | |
308 | pod2usage({-exitval => 1, -verbose => 2, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
309 | |
310 | =head2 Recommended Use |
311 | |
312 | Most scripts should print some type of usage message to C<STDERR> when a |
313 | command line syntax error is detected. They should also provide an |
314 | option (usually C<-H> or C<-help>) to print a (possibly more verbose) |
315 | usage message to C<STDOUT>. Some scripts may even wish to go so far as to |
316 | provide a means of printing their complete documentation to C<STDOUT> |
f48e6a7e |
317 | (perhaps by allowing a C<-man> option). The following complete example |
318 | uses B<Pod::Usage> in combination with B<Getopt::Long> to do all of these |
360aca43 |
319 | things: |
320 | |
321 | use Getopt::Long; |
322 | use Pod::Usage; |
323 | |
f48e6a7e |
324 | my $man = 0; |
325 | my $help = 0; |
360aca43 |
326 | ## Parse options and print usage if there is a syntax error, |
327 | ## or if usage was explicitly requested. |
f48e6a7e |
328 | GetOptions('help|?' => \$help, man => \$man) or pod2usage(2); |
329 | pod2usage(1) if $help; |
330 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2) if $man; |
360aca43 |
331 | |
332 | ## If no arguments were given, then allow STDIN to be used only |
333 | ## if it's not connected to a terminal (otherwise print usage) |
334 | pod2usage("$0: No files given.") if ((@ARGV == 0) && (-t STDIN)); |

364 | |
365 | B<This program> will read the given input file(s) and do something |
366 | useful with the contents thereof. |

369 | |
370 | =head1 CAVEATS |
371 | |
372 | By default, B<pod2usage()> will use C<$0> as the path to the pod input |
373 | file. Unfortunately, not all systems on which Perl runs will set C<$0> |
374 | properly (although if C<$0> isn't found, B<pod2usage()> will search |
375 | C<$ENV{PATH}> or else the list specified by the C<-pathlist> option). |
376 | If this is the case for your system, you may need to explicitly specify |
377 | the path to the pod docs for the invoking script using something |
378 | similar to the following: |
379 | |
380 | pod2usage(-exitval => 2, -input => "/path/to/your/pod/docs"); |
