32 -- High level package for command line parsing and manipulation
34 ----------------------------------------
35 -- Simple Parsing of the Command Line --
36 ----------------------------------------
38 -- This package provides an interface for parsing command line arguments,
39 -- when they are either read from Ada.Command_Line or read from a string list.
40 -- As shown in the example below, one should first retrieve the switches
41 -- (special command line arguments starting with '-' by default) and their
42 -- parameters, and then the rest of the command line arguments.
44 -- While it may appear easy to parse the command line arguments with
45 -- Ada.Command_Line, there are in fact lots of special cases to handle in some
46 -- applications. Those are fully managed by GNAT.Command_Line. Among these are
47 -- switches with optional parameters, grouping switches (for instance "-ab"
48 -- might mean the same as "-a -b"), various characters to separate a switch
49 -- and its parameter (or none: "-a 1" and "-a1" are generally the same, which
50 -- can introduce confusion with grouped switches),...
52 -- begin
53 -- loop
54 -- case Getopt ("a b: ad") is -- Accepts '-a', '-ad', or '-b argument'
55 -- when ASCII.NUL => exit;
57 -- when 'a' =>
58 -- if Full_Switch = "a" then
59 -- Put_Line ("Got a");
60 -- else
61 -- Put_Line ("Got ad");
62 -- end if;
64 -- when 'b' => Put_Line ("Got b + " & Parameter);
66 -- when others =>
67 -- raise Program_Error; -- cannot occur!
68 -- end case;
69 -- end loop;
71 -- loop
72 -- declare
73 -- S : constant String := Get_Argument (Do_Expansion => True);
74 -- begin
75 -- exit when S'Length = 0;
76 -- Put_Line ("Got " & S);
77 -- end;
78 -- end loop;
80 -- exception
81 -- when Invalid_Switch => Put_Line ("Invalid Switch " & Full_Switch);
82 -- when Invalid_Parameter => Put_Line ("No parameter for " & Full_Switch);
83 -- end;
85 --------------
86 -- Sections --
87 --------------
89 -- A more complicated example would involve the use of sections for the
90 -- switches, as for instance in gnatmake. The same command line is used to
91 -- provide switches for several tools. Each tool recognizes its switches by
92 -- separating them with special switches that act as section separators.
93 -- Each section acts as a command line of its own.
95 -- begin
96 -- Initialize_Option_Scan ('-', False, "largs bargs cargs");
97 -- loop
98 -- -- Same loop as above to get switches and arguments
99 -- end loop;
101 -- Goto_Section ("bargs");
102 -- loop
103 -- -- Same loop as above to get switches and arguments
104 -- -- The supported switches in Getopt might be different
105 -- end loop;
107 -- Goto_Section ("cargs");
108 -- loop
109 -- -- Same loop as above to get switches and arguments
110 -- -- The supported switches in Getopt might be different
111 -- end loop;
112 -- end;
114 -------------------------------
115 -- Parsing a List of Strings --
116 -------------------------------
118 -- The examples above show how to parse the command line when the arguments
119 -- are read directly from Ada.Command_Line. However, these arguments can also
120 -- be read from a list of strings. This can be useful in several contexts,
121 -- either because your system does not support Ada.Command_Line, or because
122 -- you are manipulating other tools and creating their command lines by hand,
123 -- or for any other reason.
125 -- To create the list of strings, it is recommended to use
126 -- GNAT.OS_Lib.Argument_String_To_List.
128 -- The example below shows how to get the parameters from such a list. Note
129 -- also the use of '*' to get all the switches, and not report errors when an
130 -- unexpected switch was used by the user
132 -- declare
133 -- Parser : Opt_Parser;
134 -- Args : constant Argument_List_Access :=
135 -- GNAT.OS_Lib.Argument_String_To_List ("-g -O1 -Ipath");
136 -- begin
137 -- Initialize_Option_Scan (Parser, Args);
138 -- while Getopt ("* g O! I=", Parser) /= ASCII.NUL loop
139 -- Put_Line ("Switch " & Full_Switch (Parser)
140 -- & " param=" & Parameter (Parser));
141 -- end loop;
142 -- Free (Parser);
143 -- end;
145 -------------------------------------------
146 -- High-Level Command Line Configuration --
147 -------------------------------------------
149 -- As shown above, the code is still relatively low-level. For instance, there
150 -- is no way to indicate which switches are related (thus if "-l" and "--long"
151 -- should have the same effect, your code will need to test for both cases).
152 -- Likewise, it is difficult to handle more advanced constructs, like:
154 -- * Specifying -gnatwa is the same as specifying -gnatwu -gnatwv, but
155 -- shorter and more readable
157 -- * All switches starting with -gnatw can be grouped, for instance one
158 -- can write -gnatwcd instead of -gnatwc -gnatwd.
159 -- Of course, this can be combined with the above and -gnatwacd is the
160 -- same as -gnatwc -gnatwd -gnatwu -gnatwv
162 -- * The switch -T is the same as -gnatwAB (same as -gnatwA -gnatwB)
164 -- With the above form of Getopt, you would receive "-gnatwa", "-T" or
165 -- "-gnatwcd" in the examples above, and thus you require additional manual
166 -- parsing of the switch.
168 -- Instead, this package provides the type Command_Line_Configuration, which
169 -- stores all the knowledge above. For instance:
171 -- Config : Command_Line_Configuration;
172 -- Define_Alias (Config, "-gnatwa", "-gnatwu -gnatwv");
173 -- Define_Prefix (Config, "-gnatw");
174 -- Define_Alias (Config, "-T", "-gnatwAB");
176 -- You then need to specify all possible switches in your application by
177 -- calling Define_Switch, for instance:
179 -- Define_Switch (Config, "-gnatwu", Help => "warn on unused entities");
180 -- Define_Switch (Config, "-gnatwv", Help => "warn on unassigned var");
181 -- ...
183 -- Specifying the help message is optional, but makes it easy to then call
184 -- the function:
186 -- Display_Help (Config);
188 -- that will display a properly formatted help message for your application,
189 -- listing all possible switches. That way you have a single place in which
190 -- to maintain the list of switches and their meaning, rather than maintaining
191 -- both the string to pass to Getopt and a subprogram to display the help.
192 -- Both will properly stay synchronized.
194 -- Once you have this Config, you just have to call:
196 -- Getopt (Config, Callback'Access);
198 -- to parse the command line. The Callback will be called for each switch
199 -- found on the command line (in the case of our example, that is "-gnatwu"
200 -- and then "-gnatwv", not "-gnatwa" itself). This simplifies command line
201 -- parsing a lot.
203 -- In fact, this can be further automated for the most command case where the
204 -- parameter passed to a switch is stored in a variable in the application.
205 -- When a switch is defined, you only have to indicate where to store the
206 -- value, and let Getopt do the rest. For instance:
208 -- Optimization : aliased Integer;
209 -- Verbose : aliased Boolean;
211 -- Define_Switch (Config, Verbose'Access,
212 -- "-v", Long_Switch => "--verbose",
213 -- Help => "Output extra verbose information");
214 -- Define_Switch (Config, Optimization'Access,
215 -- "-O?", Help => "Optimization level");
217 -- Getopt (Config); -- No callback
219 -- Since all switches are handled automatically, we don't even need to pass
220 -- a callback to Getopt. Once getopt has been called, the two variables
221 -- Optimization and Verbose have been properly initialized, either to the
222 -- default value or to the value found on the command line.
224 ------------------------------------------------
225 -- Creating and Manipulating the Command Line --
226 ------------------------------------------------
228 -- This package provides mechanisms to create and modify command lines by
229 -- adding or removing arguments from them. The resulting command line is kept
230 -- as short as possible by coalescing arguments whenever possible.
232 -- Complex command lines can thus be constructed, for example from a GUI
233 -- (although this package does not by itself depend upon any specific GUI
234 -- toolkit).
236 -- Using the configuration defined earlier, one can then construct a command
237 -- line for the tool with:
239 -- Cmd : Command_Line;
240 -- Set_Configuration (Cmd, Config); -- Config created earlier
241 -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-bar");
242 -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-gnatwu");
243 -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-gnatwv"); -- will be grouped with the above
244 -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-T");
246 -- The resulting command line can be iterated over to get all its switches,
247 -- There are two modes for this iteration: either you want to get the
248 -- shortest possible command line, which would be:
250 -- -bar -gnatwaAB
252 -- or on the other hand you want each individual switch (so that your own
253 -- tool does not have to do further complex processing), which would be:
255 -- -bar -gnatwu -gnatwv -gnatwA -gnatwB
257 -- Of course, we can assume that the tool you want to spawn would understand
258 -- both of these, since they are both compatible with the description we gave
259 -- above. However, the first result is useful if you want to show the user
260 -- what you are spawning (since that keeps the output shorter), and the second
261 -- output is more useful for a tool that would check whether -gnatwu was
262 -- passed (which isn't obvious in the first output). Likewise, the second
263 -- output is more useful if you have a graphical interface since each switch
264 -- can be associated with a widget, and you immediately know whether -gnatwu
265 -- was selected.
267 -- Some command line arguments can have parameters, which on a command line
268 -- appear as a separate argument that must immediately follow the switch.
269 -- Since the subprograms in this package will reorganize the switches to group
270 -- them, you need to indicate what is a command line parameter, and what is a
271 -- switch argument.
273 -- This is done by passing an extra argument to Add_Switch, as in:
275 -- Add_Switch (Cmd, "-foo", Parameter => "arg1");
277 -- This ensures that "arg1" will always be treated as the argument to -foo,
278 -- and will not be grouped with other parts of the command line.

298 -- initialized through a call to Initialize_Option_Scan, and must be freed

313 Section_Delimiters : String := "");
314 -- The first procedure resets the internal state of the package to prepare
315 -- to rescan the parameters. It does not need to be called before the
316 -- first use of Getopt (but it could be), but it must be called if you
317 -- want to start rescanning the command line parameters from the start.
318 -- The optional parameter Switch_Char can be used to reset the switch
319 -- character, e.g. to '/' for use in DOS-like systems.
321 -- The second subprogram initializes a parser that takes its arguments
322 -- from an array of strings rather than directly from the command line. In
323 -- this case, the parser is responsible for freeing the strings stored in
324 -- Command_Line. If you pass null to Command_Line, this will in fact create
325 -- a second parser for Ada.Command_Line, which doesn't share any data with
326 -- the default parser. This parser must be free'ed.
328 -- The optional parameter Stop_At_First_Non_Switch indicates if Getopt is
329 -- to look for switches on the whole command line, or if it has to stop as
330 -- soon as a non-switch argument is found.
332 -- Example:
334 -- Arguments: my_application file1 -c
336 -- If Stop_At_First_Non_Switch is False, then -c will be considered
337 -- as a switch (returned by getopt), otherwise it will be considered
338 -- as a normal argument (returned by Get_Argument).

383 -- significant). The result returned is the first character of the switch
384 -- that is located. If there are no more switches in the current section,
385 -- returns ASCII.NUL. If Concatenate is True (the default), the switches do
386 -- not need to be separated by spaces (they can be concatenated if they do
387 -- not require an argument, e.g. -ab is the same as two separate arguments
388 -- -a -b).
390 -- Switches is a string of all the possible switches, separated by
391 -- spaces. A switch can be followed by one of the following characters:
393 -- ':' The switch requires a parameter. There can optionally be a space
394 -- on the command line between the switch and its parameter.
396 -- '=' The switch requires a parameter. There can either be a '=' or a
397 -- space on the command line between the switch and its parameter.
399 -- '!' The switch requires a parameter, but there can be no space on the
400 -- command line between the switch and its parameter.
402 -- '?' The switch may have an optional parameter. There can be no space
403 -- between the switch and its argument.
405 -- e.g. if Switches has the following value : "a? b",
406 -- The command line can be:
408 -- -afoo : -a switch with 'foo' parameter
409 -- -a foo : -a switch and another element on the
410 -- command line 'foo', returned by Get_Argument
412 -- Example: if Switches is "-a: -aO:", you can have the following
413 -- command lines:
415 -- -aarg : 'a' switch with 'arg' parameter
416 -- -a arg : 'a' switch with 'arg' parameter
417 -- -aOarg : 'aO' switch with 'arg' parameter
418 -- -aO arg : 'aO' switch with 'arg' parameter
420 -- Example:
422 -- Getopt ("a b: ac ad?")
424 -- accept either 'a' or 'ac' with no argument,
425 -- accept 'b' with a required argument
426 -- accept 'ad' with an optional argument
428 -- If the first item in switches is '*', then Getopt will catch
429 -- every element on the command line that was not caught by any other
430 -- switch. The character returned by GetOpt is '*', but Full_Switch
431 -- contains the full command line argument, including leading '-' if there
432 -- is one. If this character was not returned, there would be no way of
433 -- knowing whether it is there or not.
435 -- Example
436 -- Getopt ("* a b")
437 -- If the command line is '-a -c toto.o -b', Getopt will return
438 -- successively 'a', '*', '*' and 'b', with Full_Switch returning
439 -- "a", "-c", "toto.o", and "b".
441 -- When Getopt encounters an invalid switch, it raises the exception
442 -- Invalid_Switch and sets Full_Switch to return the invalid switch.
443 -- When Getopt cannot find the parameter associated with a switch, it
444 -- raises Invalid_Parameter, and sets Full_Switch to return the invalid
445 -- switch.
447 -- Note: in case of ambiguity, e.g. switches a ab abc, then the longest
448 -- matching switch is returned.
450 -- Arbitrary characters are allowed for switches, although it is
451 -- strongly recommended to use only letters and digits for portability
452 -- reasons.
454 -- When Concatenate is False, individual switches need to be separated by
455 -- spaces.
457 -- Example
458 -- Getopt ("a b", Concatenate => False)
459 -- If the command line is '-ab', exception Invalid_Switch will be
460 -- raised and Full_Switch will return "ab".

466 -- function should not be called before Getopt has returned ASCII.NUL.
468 -- If Do_Expansion is True, then the parameter on the command line will
469 -- be considered as a filename with wild cards, and will be expanded. The
470 -- matching file names will be returned one at a time. This is useful in
471 -- non-Unix systems for obtaining normal expansion of wild card references.
472 -- When there are no more arguments on the command line, this function

478 -- If no parameter was associated with the last switch, or no previous call
479 -- has been made to Get_Argument, raises Invalid_Parameter. If the last

485 -- The separator that was between the switch and its parameter. This is
486 -- useful if you want to know exactly what was on the command line. This
