For "accumulating" options, multiple occurrences will be % appended together into a list. % % With the exception of file_special, the "special" option types are handled % by a special option handler (see `special_handler' below), which may perform % arbitrary modifications to the option_table. For example, an option which % is not yet implemented could be handled by a special handler which produces % an error report, or an option which is a synonym for a set of more % "primitive" options could be handled by a special handler which sets those % "primitive" options. % % It is an error to use a "special" option (other than file_special) % for which there is no handler, or for which the handler fails. % % The file_special option type requires no handler, and is implemented % entirely by this module. It always takes a single argument, a file name. % Its handling always consists of % % - reading the named file, % - converting its contents into a sequence of words separated by white space, % and % - interpreting those words as options in the usual manner. % % The reading of the file obviously requires doing I/O, which means that % only the predicate variants that take an I/O state pair of arguments % support file_special options. If a call to a predicate variant that % does not take a pair of I/O states does nevertheless specify a file_special % option, that predicate will report an error when processing a command line % that contains that option. % % Boolean (i.e. bool or bool_special), maybe_int, maybe_string and % accumulating options can be negated. Negating an accumulating option % empties the accumulated list of strings. Single-character options % can be negated by following them with another `-', e.g. `-x-' will negate % the `-x' option. Long options can be negated by preceding them with `--no-', % e.g. `--no-foo' will negate the `--foo' option. % % Note that arguments following an option may be separated from the option by % either whitespace or the equals character `=', so that e.g. `--foo 3' and % `--foo=3' both specify the option `--foo' with the integer argument `3'. % % If the argument `--' is encountered on the command line, then option % processing will immediately terminate, without processing any remaining % arguments. This is sometimes needed to tell a program to treat strings % that start with a dash as non-option arguments. % %--------------------------------------------------% %--------------------------------------------------% :- module getopt_io. :- interface. :- import_module bool. :- import_module char. :- import_module io. :- import_module list. :- import_module map. :- import_module maybe. :- import_module set. %--------------------------------------------------% :- type short_option(OptionType) == (pred(char, OptionType)). :- inst short_option == (pred(in, out) is semidet). :- type long_option(OptionType) == (pred(string, OptionType)). :- inst long_option == (pred(in, out) is semidet). :- type option_default_value(OptionType) == (pred(OptionType, option_data)). :- inst option_default_value_nondet == (pred(out, out) is nondet). :- inst option_default_value_multi == (pred(out, out) is multi). :- type special_handler(OptionType) == (pred(OptionType, special_data, option_table(OptionType), maybe_option_table(OptionType))). :- inst special_handler == (pred(in, in, in, out) is semidet). % The predicates below that process options, namely % % - process_options % - process_options_io % - process_options_track % - process_options_track_io % % all take an argument of the option_ops type to tell them % % - what the default value of each option is; % - what the short and long names of the options are; % (see the comment at the top for a description of the distinction), and % - if there are any special options, how they should be handled. % % The job of the option_ops type is to hold the three or four predicates % used to categorize a set of options.
