Constructor Detail

IntOption

public IntOption(java.lang.String shortForm,
                 java.lang.String longForm,
                 int def,
                 java.lang.String docStr)

Creates an integer option and registers it with the Parser class.

Parameters:

shortForm - single-character form of this option, or null for an option with no short form

longForm - long form of this option, or null for an option with no long form.

def - default value to return if the option does not occur

docStr - short (preferably less than 40 characters) string specifying what happens when this option's value is "<n>".

Method Detail

expectsValue

public boolean expectsValue()

Description copied from interface: Option

Returns true if this option expects a value on the command line.

recordOccurrence

public void recordOccurrence(java.lang.String form,
                             java.lang.String valueStr)

Description copied from class: AbstractOption

This default implementation prints a warning if this option has already been occurred. It also sets the occurred member variable to true. However, it does not parse or record the value.

Specified by:

recordOccurrence in interface Option

Overrides:

recordOccurrence in class AbstractOption

Parameters:

form - specifies the particular long or short form of the option that was used

valueStr - the given value, or null if no value was given. The parser will only pass null for this parameter if expectsValue returns false; otherwise, if the value is missing, the parser will not call this method.

getUsageString

public java.lang.String getUsageString()

Description copied from interface: Option

Returns a string that documents the option. This string should fit on one 80-column line.

getValue

public int getValue()

Returns the value specified on the command line for this option, or the default value if the option did not occur.
