17 | |
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 | |
49 | =over |
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 | |
71 | =over |
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. |
83 | |
84 | =item C<-verbose> |
85 | |
86 | The desired level of "verboseness" to use when printing the usage |
87 | message. If the corresponding value is 0, then only the "SYNOPSIS" |
88 | section of the pod documentation is printed. If the corresponding value |
89 | is 1, then the "SYNOPSIS" section, along with any section entitled |
90 | "OPTIONS", "ARGUMENTS", or "OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS" is printed. If the |
91 | corresponding value is 2 or more then the entire manpage is printed. |
92 | |
93 | =item C<-output> |
94 | |
95 | A reference to a filehandle, or the pathname of a file to which the |
96 | usage message should be written. The default is C<\*STDERR> unless the |
97 | exit value is less than 2 (in which case the default is C<\*STDOUT>). |
98 | |
99 | =item C<-input> |
100 | |
101 | A reference to a filehandle, or the pathname of a file from which the |
102 | invoking script's pod documentation should be read. It defaults to the |
103 | file indicated by C<$0> (C<$PROGRAM_NAME> for users of F<English.pm>). |
104 | |
105 | =item C<-pathlist> |
106 | |
107 | A list of directory paths. If the input file does not exist, then it |
108 | will be searched for in the given directory list (in the order the |
109 | directories appear in the list). It defaults to the list of directories |
110 | implied by C<$ENV{PATH}>. The list may be specified either by a reference |
111 | to an array, or by a string of directory paths which use the same path |
112 | separator as C<$ENV{PATH}> on your system (e.g., C<:> for Unix, C<;> for |
113 | MSWin32 and DOS). |

116 | |
117 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
118 | |
119 | B<pod2usage> will print a usage message for the invoking script (using |
120 | its embedded pod documentation) and then exit the script with the |
121 | desired exit status. The usage message printed may have any one of three |
122 | levels of "verboseness": If the verbose level is 0, then only a synopsis |
123 | is printed. If the verbose level is 1, then the synopsis is printed |
124 | along with a description (if present) of the command line options and |
125 | arguments. If the verbose level is 2, then the entire manual page is |
126 | printed. |
127 | |
128 | Unless they are explicitly specified, the default values for the exit |
129 | status, verbose level, and output stream to use are determined as |
130 | follows: |
131 | |
132 | =over |
133 | |
134 | =item * |
135 | |
136 | If neither the exit status nor the verbose level is specified, then the |
137 | default is to use an exit status of 2 with a verbose level of 0. |
138 | |
139 | =item * |
140 | |
141 | If an exit status I<is> specified but the verbose level is I<not>, then the |
142 | verbose level will default to 1 if the exit status is less than 2 and |
143 | will default to 0 otherwise. |
144 | |
145 | =item * |
146 | |
147 | If an exit status is I<not> specified but verbose level I<is> given, then |
148 | the exit status will default to 2 if the verbose level is 0 and will |
149 | default to 1 otherwise. |
150 | |
151 | =item * |
152 | |
153 | If the exit status used is less than 2, then output is printed on |
154 | C<STDOUT>. Otherwise output is printed on C<STDERR>. |
155 | |
156 | =back |
157 | |
158 | Although the above may seem a bit confusing at first, it generally does |
159 | "the right thing" in most situations. This determination of the default |
160 | values to use is based upon the following typical Unix conventions: |
161 | |
162 | =over |
163 | |
164 | =item * |
165 | |
166 | An exit status of 0 implies "success". For example, B<diff(1)> exits |
167 | with a status of 0 if the two files have the same contents. |
168 | |
169 | =item * |
170 | |
171 | An exit status of 1 implies possibly abnormal, but non-defective, program |
172 | termination. For example, B<grep(1)> exits with a status of 1 if |
173 | it did I<not> find a matching line for the given regular expression. |
174 | |
175 | =item * |
176 | |
177 | An exit status of 2 or more implies a fatal error. For example, B<ls(1)> |
178 | exits with a status of 2 if you specify an illegal (unknown) option on |
179 | the command line. |
180 | |
181 | =item * |
182 | |
183 | Usage messages issued as a result of bad command-line syntax should go |
184 | to C<STDERR>. However, usage messages issued due to an explicit request |
185 | to print usage (like specifying B<-help> on the command line) should go |
186 | to C<STDOUT>, just in case the user wants to pipe the output to a pager |
187 | (such as B<more(1)>). |
188 | |
189 | =item * |
190 | |
191 | If program usage has been explicitly requested by the user, it is often |
192 | desireable to exit with a status of 1 (as opposed to 0) after issuing |
193 | the user-requested usage message. It is also desireable to give a |
194 | more verbose description of program usage in this case. |
195 | |
196 | =back |
197 | |
198 | B<pod2usage> doesn't force the above conventions upon you, but it will |
199 | use them by default if you don't expressly tell it to do otherwise. The |
200 | ability of B<pod2usage()> to accept a single number or a string makes it |
201 | convenient to use as an innocent looking error message handling function: |
202 | |
203 | use Pod::Usage; |
204 | use Getopt::Long; |
205 | |
206 | ## Parse options |
207 | GetOptions("help", "man", "flag1") || pod2usage(2); |
208 | pod2usage(1) if ($opt_help); |
209 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2) if ($opt_man); |
210 | |
211 | ## Check for too many filenames |
212 | pod2usage("$0: Too many files given.\n") if (@ARGV > 1); |
213 | |
214 | Some user's however may feel that the above "economy of expression" is |
215 | not particularly readable nor consistent and may instead choose to do |
216 | something more like the following: |
217 | |
218 | use Pod::Usage; |
219 | use Getopt::Long; |
220 | |
221 | ## Parse options |
222 | GetOptions("help", "man", "flag1") || pod2usage(-verbose => 0); |
223 | pod2usage(-verbose => 1) if ($opt_help); |
224 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2) if ($opt_man); |
225 | |
226 | ## Check for too many filenames |
227 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2, -message => "$0: Too many files given.\n") |
228 | if (@ARGV > 1); |
229 | |
230 | As with all things in Perl, I<there's more than one way to do it>, and |
231 | B<pod2usage()> adheres to this philosophy. If you are interested in |
232 | seeing a number of different ways to invoke B<pod2usage> (although by no |
233 | means exhaustive), please refer to L<"EXAMPLES">. |
234 | |
235 | =head1 EXAMPLES |
236 | |
237 | Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print just the |
238 | "SYNOPSIS" section to C<STDERR> and will exit with a status of 2: |
239 | |
240 | pod2usage(); |
241 | |
242 | pod2usage(2); |
243 | |
244 | pod2usage(-verbose => 0); |
245 | |
246 | pod2usage(-exitval => 2); |
247 | |
248 | pod2usage({-exitval => 2, -output => \*STDERR}); |
249 | |
250 | pod2usage({-verbose => 0, -output => \*STDERR}); |
251 | |
252 | pod2usage(-exitval => 2, -verbose => 0); |
253 | |
254 | pod2usage(-exitval => 2, -verbose => 0, -output => \*STDERR); |
255 | |
256 | Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print a message |
257 | of "Syntax error." (followed by a newline) to C<STDERR>, immediately |
258 | followed by just the "SYNOPSIS" section (also printed to C<STDERR>) and |
259 | will exit with a status of 2: |
260 | |
261 | pod2usage("Syntax error."); |
262 | |
263 | pod2usage(-message => "Syntax error.", -verbose => 0); |
264 | |
265 | pod2usage(-msg => "Syntax error.", -exitval => 2); |
266 | |
267 | pod2usage({-msg => "Syntax error.", -exitval => 2, -output => \*STDERR}); |
268 | |
269 | pod2usage({-msg => "Syntax error.", -verbose => 0, -output => \*STDERR}); |
270 | |
271 | pod2usage(-msg => "Syntax error.", -exitval => 2, -verbose => 0); |
272 | |
273 | pod2usage(-message => "Syntax error.", |
274 | -exitval => 2, |
275 | -verbose => 0, |
276 | -output => \*STDERR); |
277 | |
278 | Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print the |
279 | "SYNOPSIS" section and any "OPTIONS" and/or "ARGUMENTS" sections to |
280 | C<STDOUT> and will exit with a status of 1: |
281 | |
282 | pod2usage(1); |
283 | |
284 | pod2usage(-verbose => 1); |
285 | |
286 | pod2usage(-exitval => 1); |
287 | |
288 | pod2usage({-exitval => 1, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
289 | |
290 | pod2usage({-verbose => 1, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
291 | |
292 | pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 1); |
293 | |
294 | pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 1, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
295 | |
296 | Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print the |
297 | entire manual page to C<STDOUT> and will exit with a status of 1: |
298 | |
299 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2); |
300 | |
301 | pod2usage({-verbose => 2, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
302 | |
303 | pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 2); |
304 | |
305 | pod2usage({-exitval => 1, -verbose => 2, -output => \*STDOUT}); |
306 | |
307 | =head2 Recommended Use |
308 | |
309 | Most scripts should print some type of usage message to C<STDERR> when a |
310 | command line syntax error is detected. They should also provide an |
311 | option (usually C<-H> or C<-help>) to print a (possibly more verbose) |
312 | usage message to C<STDOUT>. Some scripts may even wish to go so far as to |
313 | provide a means of printing their complete documentation to C<STDOUT> |
314 | (perhaps by allowing a C<-man> option). The following example uses |
315 | B<Pod::Usage> in combination with B<Getopt::Long> to do all of these |
316 | things: |
317 | |
318 | use Getopt::Long; |
319 | use Pod::Usage; |
320 | |
321 | ## Parse options and print usage if there is a syntax error, |
322 | ## or if usage was explicitly requested. |
323 | GetOptions("help", "man", "flag1") || pod2usage(2); |
324 | pod2usage(1) if ($opt_help); |
325 | pod2usage(-verbose => 2) if ($opt_man); |
326 | |
327 | ## If no arguments were given, then allow STDIN to be used only |
328 | ## if it's not connected to a terminal (otherwise print usage) |
329 | pod2usage("$0: No files given.") if ((@ARGV == 0) && (-t STDIN)); |
330 | |
331 | =head1 CAVEATS |
332 | |
333 | By default, B<pod2usage()> will use C<$0> as the path to the pod input |
334 | file. Unfortunately, not all systems on which Perl runs will set C<$0> |
335 | properly (although if C<$0> isn't found, B<pod2usage()> will search |
336 | C<$ENV{PATH}> or else the list specified by the C<-pathlist> option). |
337 | If this is the case for your system, you may need to explicitly specify |
338 | the path to the pod docs for the invoking script using something |
339 | similar to the following: |
340 | |
341 | pod2usage(-exitval => 2, -input => "/path/to/your/pod/docs"); |
