- # This package implements a new getopt function. This function adheres
- # to the new syntax (long option names, no bundling).
- #
- # Arguments to the function are:
- #
- # - a list of possible options. These should designate valid perl
- # identifiers, optionally followed by an argument specifier ("="
- # for mandatory arguments or ":" for optional arguments) and an
- # argument type specifier: "n" or "i" for integer numbers, "f" for
- # real (fix) numbers or "s" for strings.
- # If an "@" sign is appended, the option is treated as an array.
- # Value(s) are not set, but pushed.
- #
- # - if the first option of the list consists of non-alphanumeric
- # characters only, it is interpreted as a generic option starter.
- # Everything starting with one of the characters from the starter
- # will be considered an option.
- # Likewise, a double occurrence (e.g. "--") signals end of
- # the options list.
- # The default value for the starter is "-", "--" or "+".
- #
- # Upon return, the option variables, prefixed with "opt_", are defined
- # and set to the respective option arguments, if any.
- # Options that do not take an argument are set to 1. Note that an
- # option with an optional argument will be defined, but set to '' if
- # no actual argument has been supplied.
- # A return status of 0 (false) indicates that the function detected
- # one or more errors.
- #
- # Special care is taken to give a correct treatment to optional arguments.
- #
- # E.g. if option "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 "foo=s" and "bar:s" :
- #
- # -bar -xxx -> $opt_bar = '', '-xxx' is next option
- # -foo -bar -> $opt_foo = '-bar'
- # -foo -- -> $opt_foo = '--'
- #
- # HISTORY
- # 2-Jun-1992 Johan Vromans
- # Do not use //o to allow multiple NGetOpt calls with different delimeters.
- # Prevent typeless option from using previous $array state.
- # Prevent empty option from being eaten as a (negative) number.
-
- # 25-May-1992 Johan Vromans
- # Add array options. "foo=s@" will return an array @opt_foo that
- # contains all values that were supplied. E.g. "-foo one -foo -two" will
- # return @opt_foo = ("one", "-two");
- # Correct bug in handling options that allow for a argument when followed
- # by another option.
-
- # 4-May-1992 Johan Vromans
- # Add $ignorecase to match options in either case.
- # Allow '' option.
-
- # 19-Mar-1992 Johan Vromans
- # Allow require from packages.
- # NGetOpt is now defined in the package that requires it.
- # @ARGV and $opt_... are taken from the package that calls it.
- # Use standard (?) option prefixes: -, -- and +.
-
- # 20-Sep-1990 Johan Vromans
- # Set options w/o argument to 1.
- # Correct the dreadful semicolon/require bug.
