Those are fully managed by GNAT.Command_Line. Among these are -- switches with optional parameters, grouping switches (for instance "-ab" -- might mean the same as "-a -b"), various characters to separate a switch -- and its parameter (or none: "-a 1" and "-a1" are generally the same, which -- can introduce confusion with grouped switches),... -- -- begin -- loop -- case Getopt ("a b: ad") is -- Accepts '-a', '-ad', or '-b argument' -- when ASCII.NUL => exit; -- when 'a' => -- if Full_Switch = "a" then -- Put_Line ("Got a"); -- else -- Put_Line ("Got ad"); -- end if; -- when 'b' => Put_Line ("Got b + " & Parameter); -- when others => -- raise Program_Error; -- cannot occur -- end case; -- end loop; -- loop -- declare -- S : constant String := Get_Argument (Do_Expansion => True); -- begin -- exit when S'Length = 0; -- Put_Line ("Got " & S); -- end; -- end loop; -- exception -- when Invalid_Switch => Put_Line ("Invalid Switch " & Full_Switch); -- when Invalid_Parameter => Put_Line ("No parameter for " & Full_Switch); -- end; -------------- -- Sections -- -------------- -- A more complicated example would involve the use of sections for the -- switches, as for instance in gnatmake. The same command line is used to -- provide switches for several tools. Each tool recognizes its switches by -- separating them with special switches that act as section separators. -- Each section acts as a command line of its own. -- begin -- Initialize_Option_Scan ('-', False, "largs bargs cargs"); -- loop -- -- Same loop as above to get switches and arguments -- end loop; -- Goto_Section ("bargs"); -- loop -- -- Same loop as above to get switches and arguments -- -- The supported switches in Getopt might be different -- end loop; -- Goto_Section ("cargs"); -- loop -- -- Same loop as above to get switches and arguments -- -- The supported switches in Getopt might be different -- end loop; -- end; ------------------------------- -- Parsing a List of Strings -- ------------------------------- -- The examples above show how to parse the command line when the arguments -- are read directly from Ada.Command_Line. However, these arguments can also -- be read from a list of strings. This can be useful in several contexts, -- either because your system does not support Ada.Command_Line, or because -- you are manipulating other tools and creating their command lines by hand, -- or for any other reason. -- To create the list of strings, it is recommended to use -- GNAT.OS_Lib.Argument_String_To_List. -- The example below shows how to get the parameters from such a list. Note -- also the use of '*' to get all the switches, and not report errors when an -- unexpected switch was used by the user -- declare -- Parser : Opt_Parser; -- Args : constant Argument_List_Access := -- GNAT.OS_Lib.Argument_String_To_List ("-g -O1 -Ipath"); -- begin -- Initialize_Option_Scan (Parser, Args); -- while Getopt ("* g O! I=", Parser) /= ASCII.NUL loop -- Put_Line ("Switch " & Full_Switch (Parser) -- & " param=" & Parameter (Parser)); -- end loop; -- Free (Parser); -- end; ------------------------------------------- -- High-Level Command Line Configuration -- ------------------------------------------- -- As shown above, the code is still relatively low-level. For instance, there -- is no way to indicate which switches are related (thus if "-l" and "--long" -- should have the same effect, your code will need to test for both cases). -- Likewise, it is difficult to handle more advanced constructs, like: -- * Specifying -gnatwa is the same as specifying -gnatwu -gnatwv, but -- shorter and more readable -- * All switches starting with -gnatw can be grouped, for instance one -- can write -gnatwcd instead of -gnatwc -gnatwd. -- Of course, this can be combined with the above and -gnatwacd is the -- same as -gnatwc -gnatwd -gnatwu -gnatwv -- * The switch -T is the same as -gnatwAB (same as -gnatwA -gnatwB) -- With the above form of Getopt, you would receive "-gnatwa", "-T" or -- "-gnatwcd" in the examples above, and thus you require additional manual -- parsing of the switch. -- Instead, this package provides the type Command_Line_Configuration, which -- stores all the knowledge above. For instance: -- Config : Command_Line_Configuration; -- Define_Alias (Config, "-gnatwa", "-gnatwu -gnatwv"); -- Define_Prefix (Config, "-gnatw"); -- Define_Alias (Config, "-T", "-gnatwAB"); -- You then need to specify all possible switches in your application by -- calling Define_Switch, for instance: -- Define_Switch (Config, "-gnatwu", Help => "warn on unused entities"); -- Define_Switch (Config, "-gnatwv", Help => "warn on unassigned var"); -- ... -- Specifying the help message is optional, but makes it easy to then call -- the function: -- Display_Help (Config); -- that will display a properly formatted help message for your application, -- listing all possible switches. That way you have a single place in which -- to maintain the list of switches and their meaning, rather than maintaining -- both the string to pass to Getopt and a subprogram to display the help. -- Both will properly stay synchronized. -- Once you have this Config, you just have to call: -- Getopt (Config, Callback'Access); -- to parse the command line. The Callback will be called for each switch -- found on the command line (in the case of our example, that is "-gnatwu" -- and then "-gnatwv", not "-gnatwa" itself). This simplifies command line -- parsing a lot. -- In fact, this can be further automated for the most command case where the -- parameter passed to a switch is stored in a variable in the application. -- When a switch is defined, you only have to indicate where to store the -- value, and let Getopt do the rest. For instance: -- Optimization : aliased Integer; -- Verbose : aliased Boolean; -- Define_Switch (Config, Verbose'Access, -- "-v", Long_Switch => "--verbose", -- Help => "Output extra verbose information"); -- Define_Switch (Config, Optimization'Access, -- "-O?", Help => "Optimization level"); -- Getopt (Config); -- No callback -- Since all switches are handled automatically, we don't even need to pass -- a callback to Getopt. Once getopt has been called, the two variables -- Optimization and Verbose have been properly initialized, either to the -- default value or to the value found on the command line. ------------------------------------------------ -- Creating and Manipulating the Command Line -- ------------------------------------------------ -- This package provides mechanisms to create and modify command lines by -- adding or removing arguments from them. The resulting command line is kept -- as short as possible by coalescing arguments whenever possible. -- Complex command lines can thus be constructed, for example from a GUI -- (although this package does not by itself depend upon any specific GUI -- toolkit). -- Using the configuration defined earlier, one can then construct a command -- line for the tool with: -- Cmd : Command_Line; -- Set_Configuration (Cmd, Config); -- Config created earlier -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-bar"); -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-gnatwu"); -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-gnatwv"); -- will be grouped with the above -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-T"); -- The resulting command line can be iterated over to get all its switches, -- There are two modes for this iteration: either you want to get the -- shortest possible command line, which would be: -- -bar -gnatwaAB -- or on the other hand you want each individual switch (so that your own -- tool does not have to do further complex processing), which would be: -- -bar -gnatwu -gnatwv -gnatwA -gnatwB -- Of course, we can assume that the tool you want to spawn would understand -- both of these, since they are both compatible with the description we gave -- above. However, the first result is useful if you want to show the user -- what you are spawning (since that keeps the output shorter), and the second -- output is more useful for a tool that would check whether -gnatwu was -- passed (which isn't obvious in the first output). Likewise, the second -- output is more useful if you have a graphical interface since each switch -- can be associated with a widget, and you immediately know whether -gnatwu -- was selected. -- -- Some command line arguments can have parameters, which on a command line -- appear as a separate argument that must immediately follow the switch. -- Since the subprograms in this package will reorganize the switches to group -- them, you need to indicate what is a command line parameter, and what is a -- switch argument. -- This is done by passing an extra argument to Add_Switch, as in: -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-foo", Parameter => "arg1"); -- This ensures that "arg1" will always be treated as the argument to -foo, -- and will not be grouped with other parts of the command line. with Ada.Command_Line; with GNAT.Directory_Operations; with GNAT.OS_Lib; with GNAT.Regexp; with GNAT.Strings; package GNAT.Command_Line is ------------- -- Parsing -- ------------- type Opt_Parser is private; Command_Line_Parser : constant Opt_Parser; -- This object is responsible for parsing a list of arguments, which by -- default are the standard command line arguments from Ada.Command_Line. -- This is really a pointer to actual data, which must therefore be -- initialized through a call to Initialize_Option_Scan, and must be freed -- with a call to Free. -- -- As a special case, Command_Line_Parser does not need to be either -- initialized or free-ed. procedure Initialize_Option_Scan (Switch_Char : Character := '-'; Stop_At_First_Non_Switch : Boolean := False; Section_Delimiters : String := ""); procedure Initialize_Option_Scan (Parser : out Opt_Parser; Command_Line : GNAT.OS_Lib.Argument_List_Access; Switch_Char : Character := '-'; Stop_At_First_Non_Switch : Boolean := False; Section_Delimiters : String := ""); -- The first procedure resets the internal state of the package to prepare -- to rescan the parameters. It does not need to be called before the -- first use of Getopt (but it could be), but it must be called if you -- want to start rescanning the command line parameters from the start. -- The optional parameter Switch_Char can be used to reset the switch -- character, e.g. to '/' for use in DOS-like systems. -- -- The second subprogram initializes a parser that takes its arguments -- from an array of strings rather than directly from the command line. In -- this case, the parser is responsible for freeing the strings stored in -- Command_Line. If you pass null to Command_Line, this will in fact create -- a second parser for Ada.Command_Line, which doesn't share any data with -- the default parser. This parser must be free'ed. -- -- The optional parameter Stop_At_First_Non_Switch indicates if Getopt is -- to look for switches on the whole command line, or if it has to stop as -- soon as a non-switch argument is found. -- -- Example: -- -- Arguments: my_application file1 -c -- -- If Stop_At_First_Non_Switch is False, then -c will be considered -- as a switch (returned by getopt), otherwise it will be considered -- as a normal argument (returned by Get_Argument). -- -- If Section_Delimiters is set, then every following subprogram -- (Getopt and Get_Argument) will only operate within a section, which -- is delimited by any of these delimiters or the end of the command line. -- -- Example: -- Initialize_Option_Scan (Section_Delimiters => "largs bargs cargs"); -- -- Arguments on command line : my_application -c -bargs -d -e -largs -f -- This line contains three sections, the first one is the default one -- and includes only the '-c' switch, the second one is between -bargs -- and -largs and includes '-d -e' and the last one includes '-f'. procedure Free (Parser : in out Opt_Parser); -- Free the memory used by the parser.

The result returned is the first character of the switch -- that is located. If there are no more switches in the current section, -- returns ASCII.NUL. If Concatenate is True (the default), the switches do -- not need to be separated by spaces (they can be concatenated if they do -- not require an argument, e.g. -ab is the same as two separate arguments -- -a -b). -- -- Switches is a string of all the possible switches, separated by -- spaces.

The switch requires a parameter, but there can be no space on the -- command line between the switch and its parameter. -- -- '?' The switch may have an optional parameter. There can be no space -- between the switch and its argument. -- -- e.g. if Switches has the following value : "a? b", -- The command line can be: -- -- -afoo : -a switch with 'foo' parameter -- -a foo : -a switch and another element on the -- command line 'foo', returned by Get_Argument -- -- Example: if Switches is "-a: -aO:", you can have the following -- command lines: -- -- -aarg : 'a' switch with 'arg' parameter -- -a arg : 'a' switch with 'arg' parameter -- -aOarg : 'aO' switch with 'arg' parameter -- -aO arg : 'aO' switch with 'arg' parameter -- -- Example: -- -- Getopt ("a b: ac ad?") -- -- accept either 'a' or 'ac' with no argument, -- accept 'b' with a required argument -- accept 'ad' with an optional argument -- -- If the first item in switches is '*', then Getopt will catch -- every element on the command line that was not caught by any other -- switch.

But if your application -- uses unusual separators not supported by GNAT.Command_Line (for instance -- it requires ":"), you can specify this separator here. -- -- For instance, -- Add_Switch(Cmd, "-from", "bar", ':') -- -- results in -- -from:bar -- -- rather than the default -- -from bar -- -- Note however that Getopt doesn't know how to handle ":" as a separator. -- So the recommendation is to declare the switch as "-from!" (ie no -- space between the switch and its parameter).
