22 * @Short_description: parses commandline options
23 * @Title: Commandline option parser
25 * The GOption commandline parser is intended to be a simpler replacement
26 * for the popt library. It supports short and long commandline options,
27 * as shown in the following example:
29 * `testtreemodel -r 1 --max-size 20 --rand --display=:1.0 -vb -- file1 file2`
31 * The example demonstrates a number of features of the GOption
34 * - Options can be single letters, prefixed by a single dash.
36 * - Multiple short options can be grouped behind a single dash.
38 * - Long options are prefixed by two consecutive dashes.
40 * - Options can have an extra argument, which can be a number, a string or
41 * a filename. For long options, the extra argument can be appended with
42 * an equals sign after the option name, which is useful if the extra
43 * argument starts with a dash, which would otherwise cause it to be
44 * interpreted as another option.
46 * - Non-option arguments are returned to the application as rest arguments.
48 * - An argument consisting solely of two dashes turns off further parsing,
49 * any remaining arguments (even those starting with a dash) are returned
50 * to the application as rest arguments.
52 * Another important feature of GOption is that it can automatically
53 * generate nicely formatted help output. Unless it is explicitly turned
54 * off with g_option_context_set_help_enabled(), GOption will recognize
55 * the `--help`, `-?`, `--help-all` and `--help-groupname` options
56 * (where `groupname` is the name of a #GOptionGroup) and write a text
57 * similar to the one shown in the following example to stdout.
61 * testtreemodel [OPTION...] - test tree model performance
64 * -h, --help Show help options
65 * --help-all Show all help options
66 * --help-gtk Show GTK+ Options
68 * Application Options:
69 * -r, --repeats=N Average over N repetitions
70 * -m, --max-size=M Test up to 2^M items
71 * --display=DISPLAY X display to use
72 * -v, --verbose Be verbose
73 * -b, --beep Beep when done
74 * --rand Randomize the data
77 * GOption groups options in #GOptionGroups, which makes it easy to
78 * incorporate options from multiple sources. The intended use for this is
79 * to let applications collect option groups from the libraries it uses,
80 * add them to their #GOptionContext, and parse all options by a single call
81 * to g_option_context_parse(). See gtk_get_option_group() for an example.
83 * If an option is declared to be of type string or filename, GOption takes
84 * care of converting it to the right encoding; strings are returned in
85 * UTF-8, filenames are returned in the GLib filename encoding. Note that
86 * this only works if setlocale() has been called before
87 * g_option_context_parse().
89 * Here is a complete example of setting up GOption to parse the example
90 * commandline above and produce the example help output.
91 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
92 * static gint repeats = 2;
93 * static gint max_size = 8;
94 * static gboolean verbose = FALSE;
95 * static gboolean beep = FALSE;
96 * static gboolean randomize = FALSE;
98 * static GOptionEntry entries[] =
100 * { "repeats", 'r', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_INT, &repeats, "Average over N repetitions", "N" },
101 * { "max-size", 'm', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_INT, &max_size, "Test up to 2^M items", "M" },
102 * { "verbose", 'v', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &verbose, "Be verbose", NULL },
103 * { "beep", 'b', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &beep, "Beep when done", NULL },
104 * { "rand", 0, 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &randomize, "Randomize the data", NULL },
109 * main (int argc, char *argv[])
111 * GError *error = NULL;
112 * GOptionContext *context;
114 * context = g_option_context_new ("- test tree model performance");
115 * g_option_context_add_main_entries (context, entries, GETTEXT_PACKAGE);
116 * g_option_context_add_group (context, gtk_get_option_group (TRUE));
117 * if (!g_option_context_parse (context, &argc, &argv, &error))
119 * g_print ("option parsing failed: %s\n", error->message);
128 * On UNIX systems, the argv that is passed to main() has no particular
129 * encoding, even to the extent that different parts of it may have
130 * different encodings. In general, normal arguments and flags will be
131 * in the current locale and filenames should be considered to be opaque
132 * byte strings. Proper use of %G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME vs
133 * %G_OPTION_ARG_STRING is therefore important.
135 * Note that on Windows, filenames do have an encoding, but using
136 * #GOptionContext with the argv as passed to main() will result in a
137 * program that can only accept commandline arguments with characters
138 * from the system codepage. This can cause problems when attempting to
139 * deal with filenames containing Unicode characters that fall outside
142 * A solution to this is to use g_win32_get_command_line() and
143 * g_option_context_parse_strv() which will properly handle full Unicode
144 * filenames. If you are using #GApplication, this is done
145 * automatically for you.
147 * The following example shows how you can use #GOptionContext directly
148 * in order to correctly deal with Unicode filenames on Windows:
150 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
152 * main (int argc, char **argv)
154 * GError *error = NULL;
155 * GOptionContext *context;
159 * args = g_win32_get_command_line ();
161 * args = g_strdupv (argv);
164 * /* ... setup context ... */
166 * if (!g_option_context_parse_strv (context, &args, &error))
168 * /* ... error ... */

333 * the #GOptionContext, typically something like "FILES" or
334 * "FILE1 FILE2...". If you are using #G_OPTION_REMAINING for
335 * collecting "rest" arguments, GLib handles this automatically by
336 * using the @arg_description of the corresponding #GOptionEntry in
339 * Another usage is to give a short summary of the program
340 * functionality, like " - frob the strings", which will be displayed
341 * in the same line as the usage. For a longer description of the
342 * program functionality that should be displayed as a paragraph
343 * below the usage line, use g_option_context_set_summary().
345 * Note that the @parameter_string is translated using the
346 * function set with g_option_context_set_translate_func(), so
