OptionSpec¶

[Source]

OptionSpec describes the specification of a named Option. They have a name, descr(iption), a short-name, a typ(e), and a default value when they are not required.

Options can be placed anywhere before or after commands, and can be thought of as named arguments.

class val OptionSpec

Constructors¶

bool¶

[Source]

Creates an Option with a Bool typed value that can be used like --opt or -O or --opt=true or -O=true to yield an option value like cmd.option("opt").bool() == true.

new val bool(
  name': String val,
  descr': String val = seq,
  short': (U8 val | None val) = seq,
  default': (Bool val | None val) = seq)
: OptionSpec val^

Parameters¶

name': String val
descr': String val = seq
short': (U8 val | None val) = seq
default': (Bool val | None val) = seq

Returns¶

OptionSpec val^

string¶

[Source]

Creates an Option with a String typed value that can be used like --file=dir/filename or -F=dir/filename or -Fdir/filename to yield an option value like cmd.option("file").string() == "dir/filename".

new val string(
  name': String val,
  descr': String val = seq,
  short': (U8 val | None val) = seq,
  default': (String val | None val) = seq)
: OptionSpec val^

Parameters¶

name': String val
descr': String val = seq
short': (U8 val | None val) = seq
default': (String val | None val) = seq

Returns¶

OptionSpec val^

i64¶

[Source]

Creates an Option with an I64 typed value that can be used like --count=42 -C=42 to yield an option value like cmd.option("count").i64() == I64(42).

new val i64(
  name': String val,
  descr': String val = seq,
  short': (U8 val | None val) = seq,
  default': (I64 val | None val) = seq)
: OptionSpec val^

Parameters¶

name': String val
descr': String val = seq
short': (U8 val | None val) = seq
default': (I64 val | None val) = seq

Returns¶

OptionSpec val^

u64¶

[Source]

Creates an Option with an U64 typed value that can be used like --count=47 -C=47 to yield an option value like cmd.option("count").u64() == U64(47).

new val u64(
  name': String val,
  descr': String val = seq,
  short': (U8 val | None val) = seq,
  default': (U64 val | None val) = seq)
: OptionSpec val^

Parameters¶

name': String val
descr': String val = seq
short': (U8 val | None val) = seq
default': (U64 val | None val) = seq

Returns¶

OptionSpec val^

f64¶

[Source]

Creates an Option with a F64 typed value that can be used like --ratio=1.039 or -R=1.039 to yield an option value like cmd.option("ratio").f64() == F64(1.039).

new val f64(
  name': String val,
  descr': String val = seq,
  short': (U8 val | None val) = seq,
  default': (F64 val | None val) = seq)
: OptionSpec val^

Parameters¶

name': String val
descr': String val = seq
short': (U8 val | None val) = seq
default': (F64 val | None val) = seq

Returns¶

OptionSpec val^

string_seq¶

[Source]

Creates an Option with a ReadSeq[String] typed value that can be used like --files=file1 --files=files2 --files=files2 to yield a sequence of three strings equivalent to cmd.option("ratio").string_seq() (equiv) ["file1"; "file2"; "file3"].

new val string_seq(
  name': String val,
  descr': String val = seq,
  short': (U8 val | None val) = seq)
: OptionSpec val^

Parameters¶

name': String val
descr': String val = seq
short': (U8 val | None val) = seq

Returns¶

OptionSpec val^
