parse

public CommandLine parse(Options options,

parse in interface CommandLineParser

Parameters:

options - the specified Options

arguments - the command line arguments

Returns:

the list of atomic option and value tokens

Throws:

ParseException - if there are any problems encountered while parsing the command line tokens.

parse

public CommandLine parse(Options options,
                         String[] arguments,
                         Properties properties)
                  throws ParseException

parse

public CommandLine parse(Options options,
                         String[] arguments,
                         boolean stopAtNonOption)
                  throws ParseException

Description copied from interface: CommandLineParser

Parse the arguments according to the specified options.

Specified by:

parse in interface CommandLineParser

Parameters:

options - the specified Options

arguments - the command line arguments

stopAtNonOption - if true an unrecognized argument stops the parsing and the remaining arguments are added to the CommandLines args list. If false an unrecognized argument triggers a ParseException.

Returns:

the list of atomic option and value tokens

ParseException - if there are any problems encountered while parsing the command line tokens.

parse

public CommandLine parse(Options options,
                         String[] arguments,
                         Properties properties,
                         boolean stopAtNonOption)
                  throws ParseException

Parse the arguments according to the specified options and properties.

Parameters:

options - the specified Options

arguments - the command line arguments

properties - command line option name-value pairs

stopAtNonOption - if true an unrecognized argument stops the parsing and the remaining arguments are added to the CommandLines args list. If false an unrecognized argument triggers a ParseException.

Returns:

the list of atomic option and value tokens

Throws:

ParseException - if there are any problems encountered while parsing the command line tokens.

handleConcatenatedOptions

protected void handleConcatenatedOptions(String token)
                                  throws ParseException

Breaks token into its constituent parts using the following algorithm.

• ignore the first character ("-")
• foreach remaining character check if an Option exists with that id.
• if an Option does exist then add that character prepended with "-" to the list of processed tokens.
• if the Option can have an argument value and there are remaining characters in the token then add the remaining characters as a token to the list of processed tokens.
• if an Option does NOT exist AND stopAtNonOption IS set then add the special token "--" followed by the remaining characters and also the remaining tokens directly to the processed tokens list.
• if an Option does NOT exist AND stopAtNonOption IS NOT set then add that character prepended with "-".

Parameters:

token - The current token to be burst at the first non-Option encountered.

Throws:

ParseException - if there are any problems encountered while parsing the command line token.
