# newgetopt.pl -- new options parsing # SCCS Status : @(#)@ newgetopt.pl 1.13 # Author : Johan Vromans # Created On : Tue Sep 11 15:00:12 1990 # Last Modified By: Johan Vromans # Last Modified On: Tue Jun 2 11:24:03 1992 # Update Count : 75 # Status : Okay # 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. { package newgetopt; $debug = 0; # for debugging $ignorecase = 1; # ignore case when matching options } sub NGetOpt { @newgetopt'optionlist = @_; *newgetopt'ARGV = *ARGV; package newgetopt; local ($[) = 0; local ($genprefix) = "(--|-|\\+)"; local ($argend) = "--"; local ($error) = 0; local ($opt, $optx, $arg, $type, $mand, %opctl); local ($pkg) = (caller)[0]; print STDERR "NGetOpt 1.13 -- called from $pkg\n" if $debug; # See if the first element of the optionlist contains option # starter characters. if ( $optionlist[0] =~ /^\W+$/ ) { $genprefix = shift (@optionlist); # Turn into regexp. $genprefix =~ s/(\W)/\\\1/g; $genprefix = "[" . $genprefix .
