Method Detail

findOption

protected final OptionMetadata findOption(ParseState<T> state,
                                          java.util.List<OptionMetadata> options,
                                          java.lang.String name)

Tries to find an option with the given name

Parameters:

state - Current parser state

options - Allowed options

name - Name

Returns:

Option if found, null otherwise

findOption

protected final OptionMetadata findOption(ParseState<T> state,
                                          java.util.List<OptionMetadata> options,
                                          java.lang.String name,
                                          OptionMetadata defaultValue)

Tries to find an option with the given name

Parameters:

state - Current parser state

options - Allowed options

name - Name

defaultValue - Default value to return if nothing found

Returns:

Option if found, defaultValue otherwise

hasShortNamePrefix

protected boolean hasShortNamePrefix(java.lang.String name)

Return true if the option has a short name prefix i.e. starts with a single - character. This does not mean that it actually is a short option since definitions of what are considered a short option will vary by concrete implementation

Parameters:

name - Option name

Returns:

True if a short name prefix, false otherwise

noValueForOption

protected void noValueForOption(ParseState<T> state,
                                OptionMetadata option)

Reports that no/insufficient values were provided for an option

Parameters:

state - Parser state

option - Option whose value(s) are missing

isSeparatorOrOption

protected boolean isSeparatorOrOption(ParseState<T> state,
                                      java.util.List<OptionMetadata> allowedOptions,
                                      java.lang.String argsSeparator,
                                      boolean shortForm,
                                      java.lang.String peekedToken)

Checks whether the next value is an arguments separator or option

This helps option parsers ensure they are not overly greedy when trying to consume options and their values when they should instead be raising an error because no value is provided for an option.

Parameters:

state - Parse State

allowedOptions - Allowed options

argsSeparator - Arguments separator

shortForm - Whether to test only for short form, if true only consider the first character of peekedToken

peekedToken - The peeked token to check whether it is the arguments separator or an option

Returns:

True if the peeked token represents an arguments separator or an option
