Glib::OptionGroup(3pm)
NAME
Glib::OptionGroup - group of options for command line option parsing
SYNOPSIS
my ($verbose, $source, $filenames) = ('', undef, []);
my $entries = [
{ long_name => 'verbose',
short_name => 'v',
arg_type => 'none',
arg_value => \$verbose,
description => 'be verbose' },
{ long_name => 'source',
short_name => 's',
arg_type => 'string',
arg_value => \$source,
description => 'set the source',
arg_description => 'source' },
[ 'filenames', 'f', 'filename-array', \$filenames ],
];
my $context = Glib::OptionContext->new ('- urgsify your life');
$context->add_main_entries ($entries, 'C');
$context->parse ();
# $verbose, $source, and $filenames are now updated according to the
# command line options given

METHODS
- optioncontext = Glib::OptionContext->new ($parameter_string)
- o $parameter_string (string)
- optiongroup = Glib::OptionGroup->new (key => value, ...)
- Creates a new option group from the given key-value pairs. The valid
keys are name, description, help_description, and entries. The first
three specify strings while the last one, entries, specifies an array
reference of option entries. Example:
my $group = Glib::OptionGroup->new (name => 'urgs',
description => 'Urgs Urgs Urgs',
help_description => 'Help with Urgs',
entries => \@entries); - An option entry is a hash reference like this:
{ long_name => 'verbose',short_name => 'v',
flags => [qw/reverse hidden in-main/],
arg_type => 'none',
arg_value => \$verbose,
description => 'verbose desc.',
arg_description => 'verbose arg desc.' }- Of those keys only long_name, arg_type, and arg_value are required. So
this is a valid option entry too:
{ long_name => 'package-names',arg_type => 'string-array',
arg_value => \$package_names }For convenience, option entries can also be specified as array
references containing long_name, short_name, arg_type, and arg_value:
[ 'filenames', 'f', 'filename-array', \$filenames ]If you don't want an option to have a short name, specify undef for it:
[ 'filenames', undef, 'filename-array', \$filenames ] - $context->add_group ($group)
- o $group (Glib::OptionGroup)
- $context->add_main_entries ($entries, $translation_domain)
- o $entries (scalar) reference to an array of option entries
- o $translation_domain (string)
- boolean = $context->get_help_enabled $context->set_help_enabled ($help_enabled)
- o $help_enabled (boolean)
- boolean = $context->get_ignore_unknown_options $context->set_ignore_unknown_options ($ignore_unknown)
- o $ignore_unknown (boolean)
- optiongroup = $context->get_main_group $context->set_main_group ($group)
- o $group (Glib::OptionGroup)
- boolean = $context->parse
- This method works directly on @ARGV.
- May croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure.
- $group->set_translate_func ($func, $data=undef)
- o $func (scalar)
- o $data (scalar)
- $group->set_translation_domain ($domain)
- o $domain (string)
