It takes into account Qt-specific options, * KDE-specific options and application specific options. * * This class is used in %main() via the static method * init(). * * A typical %KDE application using %TDECmdLineArgs should look like this: * * \code * int main(int argc, char *argv[]) * { * // Initialize command line args * TDECmdLineArgs::init(argc, argv, appName, programName, description, version); * * // Tell which options are supported * TDECmdLineArgs::addCmdLineOptions( options ); * * // Add options from other components * KUniqueApplication::addCmdLineOptions(); * * .... * * // Create application object without passing 'argc' and 'argv' again. * KUniqueApplication app; * * .... * * // Handle our own options/arguments * // A TDEApplication will usually do this in main but this is not * // necessary. * // A KUniqueApplication might want to handle it in newInstance(). * * TDECmdLineArgs *args = TDECmdLineArgs::parsedArgs(); * * // A binary option (on / off) * if (args->isSet("some-option")) * .... * * // An option which takes an additional argument * TQCString anotherOptionArg = args->getOption("another-option"); * * // Arguments (e.g. files to open) * for(int i = 0; i < args->count(); i++) // Counting start at 0! * { * // don't forget to convert to Unicode! * openFile( TQFile::decodeName( args->arg(i))); * // Or more convenient: * // openURL( args->url(i)); * * } * * args->clear(); // Free up some memory. * .... * } * \endcode * * The options that an application supports are configured using the * TDECmdLineOptions class. An example is shown below: * * \code * static const TDECmdLineOptions options[] = * { * { "a", I18N_NOOP("A short binary option"), 0 }, * { "b \", I18N_NOOP("A short option which takes an argument"), 0 }, * { "c \", I18N_NOOP("As above but with a default value"), "9600" }, * { "option1", I18N_NOOP("A long binary option, off by default"), 0 }, * { "nooption2", I18N_NOOP("A long binary option, on by default"), 0 }, * { ":", I18N_NOOP("Extra options:"), 0 }, * { "option3 \", I18N_NOOP("A long option which takes an argument"), 0 }, * { "option4 \", I18N_NOOP("A long option which takes an argument, defaulting to 9600"), "9600" }, * { "d", 0, 0 }, * { "option5", I18N_NOOP("A long option which has a short option as alias"), 0 }, * { "e", 0, 0 }, * { "nooption6", I18N_NOOP("Another long option with an alias"), 0 }, * { "f", 0, 0 }, * { "option7 \", I18N_NOOP("'--option7 speed' is the same as '-f speed'"), 0 }, * { "!option8 \", I18N_NOOP("All options following this one will be treated as arguments"), 0 }, * { "+file", I18N_NOOP("A required argument 'file'"), 0 }, * { "+[arg1]", I18N_NOOP("An optional argument 'arg1'"), 0 }, * { "!+command", I18N_NOOP("A required argument 'command', that can contain multiple words, even starting with '-'"), 0 }, * { "", I18N_NOOP("Additional help text not associated with any particular option") 0 }, * TDECmdLineLastOption // End of options. * }; * \endcode * * The I18N_NOOP macro is used to indicate that these strings should be * marked for translation. The actual translation is done by TDECmdLineArgs. * You can't use i18n() here because we are setting up a static data * structure and can't do translations at compile time. * * Note that a program should define the options before any arguments. * * When a long option has a short option as an alias, a program should * only test for the long option. * * With the above options a command line could look like: * \code * myapp -a -c 4800 --display localhost:0.0 --nooption5 -d /tmp/file * \endcode * * Long binary options can be in the form 'option' and 'nooption'. * A command line may contain the same binary option multiple times, * the last option determines the outcome: * \code * myapp --nooption4 --option4 --nooption4 * \endcode * is the same as: * \code * myapp --nooption4 * \endcode * * If an option value is provided multiple times, normally only the last * value is used: * \code * myapp -c 1200 -c 2400 -c 4800 * \endcode * is usually the same as: * \code * myapp -c 4800 * \endcode * * However, an application can choose to use all values specified as well. * As an example of this, consider that you may wish to specify a * number of directories to use: * \code * myapp -I /usr/include -I /opt/kde/include -I /usr/X11/include * \endcode * When an application does this it should mention this in the description * of the option. To access these options, use getOptionList() * * Tips for end-users: * * @li Single char options like "-a -b -c" may be combined into "-abc" * @li The option "--foo bar" may also be written "--foo=bar" * @li The option "-P lp1" may also be written "-P=lp1" or "-Plp1" * @li The option "--foo bar" may also be written "-foo bar" * * @author Waldo Bastian * @version 0.0.4 */ class TDECORE_EXPORT TDECmdLineArgs { friend class TDEApplication; friend class KUniqueApplication; friend class TQPtrList; public: // Static functions: /** * Initialize class. * * This function should be called as the very first thing in * your application. * @param _argc As passed to @p main(...). * @param _argv As passed to @p main(...). * @param _appname The untranslated name of your application.
