Typedef Documentation

typedef struct gpr_cmdline gpr_cmdline

Simple command line parser.

Supports flags that can be specified as -foo, –foo, –no-foo, -no-foo, etc And integers, strings that can be specified as -foo=4, -foo blah, etc

No support for short command line options (but we may get that in the future.)

Usage (for a program with a single flag argument 'foo'):

int main(int argc, char **argv) { gpr_cmdline *cl; int verbose = 0;

cl = gpr_cmdline_create("My cool tool"); gpr_cmdline_add_int(cl, "verbose", "Produce verbose output?", &verbose); gpr_cmdline_parse(cl, argc, argv); gpr_cmdline_destroy(cl);

if (verbose) { gpr_log(GPR_INFO, "Goodbye cruel world!"); }

return 0; }

Function Documentation

GPRAPI void gpr_cmdline_add_flag	(	gpr_cmdline *	cl,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	help,
		int *	value
	)

The same, for a boolean flag.

GPRAPI void gpr_cmdline_add_int	(	gpr_cmdline *	cl,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	help,
		int *	value
	)

Add an integer parameter, with a name (used on the command line) and some helpful text (used in the command usage)

GPRAPI void gpr_cmdline_add_string	(	gpr_cmdline *	cl,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	help,
		char **	value
	)

And for a string.

GPRAPI gpr_cmdline* gpr_cmdline_create

(

const char *

description

)

Construct a command line parser: takes a short description of the tool doing the parsing.

GPRAPI void gpr_cmdline_destroy

(

gpr_cmdline *

cl

)

Destroy the parser.

GPRAPI void gpr_cmdline_on_extra_arg	(	gpr_cmdline *	cl,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	help,
		void(*)(void *user_data, const char *arg)	on_extra_arg,
		void *	user_data
	)

Set a callback for non-named arguments.

GPRAPI int gpr_cmdline_parse	(	gpr_cmdline *	cl,
		int	argc,
		char **	argv
	)

Parse the command line; returns 1 on success, on failure either dies (by default) or returns 0 if gpr_cmdline_set_survive_failure() has been called.

GPRAPI void gpr_cmdline_set_survive_failure

(

gpr_cmdline *

cl

)

Enable surviving failure: default behavior is to exit the process.

GPRAPI char* gpr_cmdline_usage_string	(	gpr_cmdline *	cl,
		const char *	argv0
	)
