-=head1 NAME
-
-GetOptions - extended processing of command line options
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Getopt::Long;
- $result = GetOptions (...option-descriptions...);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function called
-GetOptions(). This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command
-line options, with GNU extensions. In general, this means that options
-have long names instead of single letters, and are introduced with a
-double dash "--". Support for bundling of command line options, as was
-the case with the more traditional single-letter approach, is provided
-but not enabled by default. For example, the UNIX "ps" command can be
-given the command line "option"
-
- -vax
-
-which means the combination of B<-v>, B<-a> and B<-x>. With the new
-syntax B<--vax> would be a single option, probably indicating a
-computer architecture.
-
-Command line options can be used to set values. These values can be
-specified in one of two ways:
-
- --size 24
- --size=24
+################ Copyright ################
-GetOptions is called with a list of option-descriptions, each of which
-consists of two elements: the option specifier and the option linkage.
-The option specifier defines the name of the option and, optionally,
-the value it can take. The option linkage is usually a reference to a
-variable that will be set when the option is used. For example, the
-following call to GetOptions:

- GetOptions("size=i" => \$offset);
+################ Module Preamble ################
-will accept a command line option "size" that must have an integer
-value. With a command line of "--size 24" this will cause the variable
-$offset to get the value 24.
+use strict;
-Alternatively, the first argument to GetOptions may be a reference to
-a HASH describing the linkage for the options, or an object whose
-class is based on a HASH. The following call is equivalent to the
-example above:
+BEGIN {
+ require 5.003;
+ use Exporter ();
+ use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS);
+ $VERSION = sprintf("%d.%02d", q$Revision: 2.13 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/);
- %optctl = ("size" => \$offset);
- GetOptions(\%optctl, "size=i");
+ @ISA = qw(Exporter);
+ @EXPORT = qw(&GetOptions $REQUIRE_ORDER $PERMUTE $RETURN_IN_ORDER);
+ %EXPORT_TAGS = ();
+ @EXPORT_OK = qw();
+}
-Linkage may be specified using either of the above methods, or both.
-Linkage specified in the argument list takes precedence over the
-linkage specified in the HASH.
+use vars @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK;
+# User visible variables.
+use vars qw($error $debug $major_version $minor_version);
+# Deprecated visible variables.
+use vars qw($autoabbrev $getopt_compat $ignorecase $bundling $order
+ $passthrough);
-The command line options are taken from array @ARGV. Upon completion
-of GetOptions, @ARGV will contain the rest (i.e. the non-options) of
-the command line.
-
-Each option specifier designates the name of the option, optionally
-followed by an argument specifier. Values for argument specifiers are:

+=head1 NAME
+
+GetOptions - extended processing of command line options
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Getopt::Long;
+ $result = GetOptions (...option-descriptions...);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function called
+GetOptions(). This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command
+line options, with GNU extensions. In general, this means that options
+have long names instead of single letters, and are introduced with a
+double dash "--". Support for bundling of command line options, as was
+the case with the more traditional single-letter approach, is provided
+but not enabled by default. For example, the UNIX "ps" command can be
+given the command line "option"
+
+ -vax
+
+which means the combination of B<-v>, B<-a> and B<-x>. With the new
+syntax B<--vax> would be a single option, probably indicating a
+computer architecture.
+
+Command line options can be used to set values. These values can be
+specified in one of two ways:
+
+ --size 24
+ --size=24
+
+GetOptions is called with a list of option-descriptions, each of which
+consists of two elements: the option specifier and the option linkage.
+The option specifier defines the name of the option and, optionally,
+the value it can take. The option linkage is usually a reference to a
+variable that will be set when the option is used. For example, the
+following call to GetOptions:
+
+ GetOptions("size=i" => \$offset);
+
+will accept a command line option "size" that must have an integer
+value. With a command line of "--size 24" this will cause the variable
+$offset to get the value 24.
+
+Alternatively, the first argument to GetOptions may be a reference to
+a HASH describing the linkage for the options, or an object whose
+class is based on a HASH. The following call is equivalent to the
+example above:
+
+ %optctl = ("size" => \$offset);
+ GetOptions(\%optctl, "size=i");
+
+Linkage may be specified using either of the above methods, or both.
+Linkage specified in the argument list takes precedence over the
+linkage specified in the HASH.
+
+The command line options are taken from array @ARGV. Upon completion
+of GetOptions, @ARGV will contain the rest (i.e. the non-options) of
+the command line.
+
+Each option specifier designates the name of the option, optionally
+followed by an argument specifier.
+
+Options that do not take arguments will have no argument specifier.
+The option variable will be set to 1 if the option is used.
+
+For the other options, the values for argument specifiers are:
+
+=over 8
+
+=item !
+
+Option does not take an argument and may be negated, i.e. prefixed by
+"no". E.g. "foo!" will allow B<--foo> (with value 1) and B<-nofoo>
+(with value 0).
+The option variable will be set to 1, or 0 if negated.
+
+=item =s
+
+Option takes a mandatory string argument.
+This string will be assigned to the option variable.
+Note that even if the string argument starts with B<-> or B<-->, it
+will not be considered an option on itself.
+
+=item :s
+
+Option takes an optional string argument.
+This string will be assigned to the option variable.
+If omitted, it will be assigned "" (an empty string).
+If the string argument starts with B<-> or B<-->, it
+will be considered an option on itself.
+
+=item =i
+
+Option takes a mandatory integer argument.
+This value will be assigned to the option variable.
+Note that the value may start with B<-> to indicate a negative
+value.
+
+=item :i
+
+Option takes an optional integer argument.
+This value will be assigned to the option variable.
+If omitted, the value 0 will be assigned.
+Note that the value may start with B<-> to indicate a negative
+value.
+
+=item =f
+
+Option takes a mandatory real number argument.
This value will be assigned to the option variable.
Note that the value may start with B<-> to indicate a negative
value.
The option name may actually be a list of option names, separated by
"|"s, e.g. "foo|bar|blech=s". In this example, "foo" is the true name
of this option. If no linkage is specified, options "foo", "bar" and
-"blech" all will set $opt_foo.
+"blech" all will set $opt_foo. For convenience, the single character
+"?" is allowed as an alias, e.g. "help|?".
Option names may be abbreviated to uniqueness, depending on
configuration option B<auto_abbrev>.
Options that start with "--" may have an argument appended, separated
with an "=", e.g. "--foo=bar".
-=head2 Return value
+=head2 Return values and Errors
+
+Configuration errors and errors in the option definitions are
+signalled using C<die()> and will terminate the calling
+program unless the call to C<Getopt::Long::GetOptions()> was embedded
+in C<eval { ... }> or C<die()> was trapped using C<$SIG{__DIE__}>.
+
+A return value of 1 (true) indicates success.
-A return status of 0 (false) indicates that the function detected
-one or more errors.
+A return status of 0 (false) indicates that the function detected one
+or more errors during option parsing. These errors are signalled using
+C<warn()> and can be trapped with C<$SIG{__WARN__}>.
+
+Errors that can't happen are signalled using C<Carp::croak()>.
=head1 COMPATIBILITY
include their arguments, e.g. "+foo=bar". This is for compatiblity
with older implementations of the GNU "getopt" routine.
-If the first argument to GetOptions is a string consisting of only
-non-alphanumeric characters, it is taken to specify the option starter
-characters. Everything starting with one of these characters from the
-starter will be considered an option. B<Using a starter argument is
-strongly deprecated.>
-
-For convenience, option specifiers may have a leading B<-> or B<-->,
-so it is possible to write:
-
- GetOptions qw(-foo=s --bar=i --ar=s);
-
-=head1 EXAMPLES
-
-If the option specifier is "one:i" (i.e. takes an optional integer
-argument), then the following situations are handled:
-
- -one -two -> $opt_one = '', -two is next option
- -one -2 -> $opt_one = -2
-
-Also, assume specifiers "foo=s" and "bar:s" :
-
- -bar -xxx -> $opt_bar = '', '-xxx' is next option
- -foo -bar -> $opt_foo = '-bar'
- -foo -- -> $opt_foo = '--'
-
-In GNU or POSIX format, option names and values can be combined:
-
- +foo=blech -> $opt_foo = 'blech'
- --bar= -> $opt_bar = ''
- --bar=-- -> $opt_bar = '--'
-
-Example of using variable references:
-
- $ret = GetOptions ('foo=s', \$foo, 'bar=i', 'ar=s', \@ar);
-
-With command line options "-foo blech -bar 24 -ar xx -ar yy"
-this will result in:
-
- $foo = 'blech'
- $opt_bar = 24
- @ar = ('xx','yy')
-
-Example of using the E<lt>E<gt> option specifier:
-
- @ARGV = qw(-foo 1 bar -foo 2 blech);
- GetOptions("foo=i", \$myfoo, "<>", \&mysub);
-
-Results:
-
- mysub("bar") will be called (with $myfoo being 1)
- mysub("blech") will be called (with $myfoo being 2)
-
-Compare this with:
-
- @ARGV = qw(-foo 1 bar -foo 2 blech);
- GetOptions("foo=i", \$myfoo);
-
-This will leave the non-options in @ARGV:
-
- $myfoo -> 2
- @ARGV -> qw(bar blech)
-
-=head1 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
-
-B<GetOptions> can be configured by calling subroutine
-B<Getopt::Long::config>. This subroutine takes a list of quoted
-strings, each specifying a configuration option to be set, e.g.
-B<ignore_case>. Options can be reset by prefixing with B<no_>, e.g.
-B<no_ignore_case>. Case does not matter. Multiple calls to B<config>
-are possible.
-
-Previous versions of Getopt::Long used variables for the purpose of
-configuring. Although manipulating these variables still work, it
-is strongly encouraged to use the new B<config> routine. Besides, it
-is much easier.
-
-The following options are available:
-
-=over 12
-
-=item default
-
-This option causes all configuration options to be reset to their
-default values.
-
-=item auto_abbrev
-
-Allow option names to be abbreviated to uniqueness.
-Default is set unless environment variable
-POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case B<auto_abbrev> is reset.
-
-=item getopt_compat
-
-Allow '+' to start options.
-Default is set unless environment variable
-POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case B<getopt_compat> is reset.
-
-=item require_order
-
-Whether non-options are allowed to be mixed with
-options.
-Default is set unless environment variable
-POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case b<require_order> is reset.
-
-See also B<permute>, which is the opposite of B<require_order>.
-
-=item permute
-
-Whether non-options are allowed to be mixed with
-options.
-Default is set unless environment variable
-POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case B<permute> is reset.
-Note that B<permute> is the opposite of B<require_order>.
-
-If B<permute> is set, this means that
-
- -foo arg1 -bar arg2 arg3
-
-is equivalent to
-
- -foo -bar arg1 arg2 arg3
-
-If a non-option call-back routine is specified, @ARGV will always be
-empty upon succesful return of GetOptions since all options have been
-processed, except when B<--> is used:
-
- -foo arg1 -bar arg2 -- arg3
-
-will call the call-back routine for arg1 and arg2, and terminate
-leaving arg2 in @ARGV.
-
-If B<require_order> is set, options processing
-terminates when the first non-option is encountered.
-
- -foo arg1 -bar arg2 arg3
-
-is equivalent to
-
- -foo -- arg1 -bar arg2 arg3
-
-=item bundling (default: reset)
-
-Setting this variable to a non-zero value will allow single-character
-options to be bundled. To distinguish bundles from long option names,
-long options must be introduced with B<--> and single-character
-options (and bundles) with B<->. For example,
-
- ps -vax --vax
-
-would be equivalent to
-
- ps -v -a -x --vax
-
-provided "vax", "v", "a" and "x" have been defined to be valid
-options.
-
-Bundled options can also include a value in the bundle; this value has
-to be the last part of the bundle, e.g.
-
- scale -h24 -w80
-
-is equivalent to
-
- scale -h 24 -w 80
-
-Note: resetting B<bundling> also resets B<bundling_override>.
-
-=item bundling_override (default: reset)
-
-If B<bundling_override> is set, bundling is enabled as with
-B<bundling> but now long option names override option bundles. In the
-above example, B<-vax> would be interpreted as the option "vax", not
-the bundle "v", "a", "x".
-
-Note: resetting B<bundling_override> also resets B<bundling>.
-
-B<Note:> Using option bundling can easily lead to unexpected results,
-especially when mixing long options and bundles. Caveat emptor.
-
-=item ignore_case (default: set)
-
-If set, case is ignored when matching options.
-
-Note: resetting B<ignore_case> also resets B<ignore_case_always>.
-
-=item ignore_case_always (default: reset)
-
-When bundling is in effect, case is ignored on single-character
-options also.
-
-Note: resetting B<ignore_case_always> also resets B<ignore_case>.
-
-=item pass_through (default: reset)
-
-Unknown options are passed through in @ARGV instead of being flagged
-as errors. This makes it possible to write wrapper scripts that
-process only part of the user supplied options, and passes the
-remaining options to some other program.
-
-This can be very confusing, especially when B<permute> is also set.
-
-=item debug (default: reset)
+If the first argument to GetOptions is a string consisting of only
+non-alphanumeric characters, it is taken to specify the option starter
+characters. Everything starting with one of these characters from the
+starter will be considered an option. B<Using a starter argument is
+strongly deprecated.>
-Enable copious debugging output.
+For convenience, option specifiers may have a leading B<-> or B<-->,
+so it is possible to write:
-=back
+ GetOptions qw(-foo=s --bar=i --ar=s);
-=head1 OTHER USEFUL VARIABLES
+=head1 EXAMPLES
-=over 12
+If the option specifier is "one:i" (i.e. takes an optional integer
+argument), then the following situations are handled:
-=item $Getopt::Long::VERSION
+ -one -two -> $opt_one = '', -two is next option
+ -one -2 -> $opt_one = -2
-The version number of this Getopt::Long implementation in the format
-C<major>.C<minor>. This can be used to have Exporter check the
-version, e.g.
+Also, assume specifiers "foo=s" and "bar:s" :
- use Getopt::Long 3.00;
+ -bar -xxx -> $opt_bar = '', '-xxx' is next option
+ -foo -bar -> $opt_foo = '-bar'
+ -foo -- -> $opt_foo = '--'
-You can inspect $Getopt::Long::major_version and
-$Getopt::Long::minor_version for the individual components.
+In GNU or POSIX format, option names and values can be combined:
-=item $Getopt::Long::error
+ +foo=blech -> $opt_foo = 'blech'
+ --bar= -> $opt_bar = ''
+ --bar=-- -> $opt_bar = '--'
-Internal error flag. May be incremented from a call-back routine to
-cause options parsing to fail.
+Example of using variable references:
-=back
+ $ret = GetOptions ('foo=s', \$foo, 'bar=i', 'ar=s', \@ar);
-=cut
+With command line options "-foo blech -bar 24 -ar xx -ar yy"
+this will result in:
