Detailed Description

Structure for parsing command line arguments.

Specify the array of this structure as the first argument of ytParseArgs_set(). The field ParseArgs::key of the last element of the array has to be NULL to represent the end of the array.

Example

int main(int argc, char * argv[]){
  int v = 0;
  char * s = "not set";
  ytParseArgs parser * = ytParseArgs_new();
  ytParseArgs_addInt(parser,    "-v", &v);
  ytParseArgs_addString(parser, "-s", &c};
 
  int r = ytParseArgs_set(parser, argc, argv);
  if(r > 0){
     printf("Parsing Error: %s\n", argv[r]);
  }
  // If "-v 10" is specified, 10 is set to "v".
  // Otherwise, v == 0.
  printf("v = %d\n", v);
 
  // If "-s foobar" is specified, "foobar" is set to "s".
  // Otherwise, s == "not set".
  printf("s = %s\n", s);
 
  // Releases the resources.
  ytParseArgs_delete(parser);
 
  return 0;
}

ytParseArgs_delete()

void ytParseArgs_delete

(

ytParseArgs *

this

)

Deletes the ytParseArgs instance.

This releases all memory managed by this instance.

Parameters

this	ytParserArgs to delete.

ytParseArgs_genKV()

ytKeyValues * ytParseArgs_genKV	(	int	argc,
		char **	argv,
		const char *	defKey
	)

Generates ytKeyValues instance from command line arguments.

This is a simple parser for command line arguments. This converts "-x y" or "--x y" in the command line arguments into a key-value pair of "x" and "y".

Parameters

argc	the number of arguments in argv.
argv	array of command line arguments.

Returns

ytKeyValues instance containing keys and their values.

ytParseArgs_set()

int ytParseArgs_set	(	ytParseArgs *	parser,
		int	argc,
		char **	argv
	)

Parses command line arguments.

Command line arguments are generally tokenized or split into particular arguments by white space characters. However, this parser treats tokens or arguments ending with a comma (,) and/or an equal letter (=) and its subsequent arguments as a single token or argument.

Parameters

parser	ytParseArgs instance.
argc	Number of arguments in argv, which is passed by main().
argv	Array of arguments passed by main().

Returns

0 if succeeded. Otherwise, the index of argv that caused the error.

Go to Top

ytParseArgs_setKV()

int ytParseArgs_setKV	(	ytParseArgs *	parser,
		const ytKeyValues *	kv,
		int	opt
	)

Sets values in the variables from the ytKeyValues instance.

Parameters

parser
kv
opt	ytParseArgs_OPT_ERROR, ytParseArgs_OPT_IGNORE, or ytParseArgs_OPT_WARNING.

Returns

-1 if succeeded, otherwise the index of the key-value pair in kv that caused the error.
