Multiple short options can be grouped behind a single dash. * - Long options are prefixed by two consecutive dashes. * - Options can have an extra argument, which can be a number, a string or * a filename. For long options, the extra argument can be appended with * an equals sign after the option name, which is useful if the extra * argument starts with a dash, which would otherwise cause it to be * interpreted as another option. * - Non-option arguments are returned to the application as rest arguments. * - An argument consisting solely of two dashes turns off further parsing, * any remaining arguments (even those starting with a dash) are returned * to the application as rest arguments. * * The OptionContext groups options in OptionGroups, which makes it easy to * incorporate options from multiple sources. The intended use for this is * to let applications collect option groups from the libraries it uses, * add them to their OptionContext, and parse all options by a single call * to parse(). See Gtk::Main::add_gtk_option_group(), for an example. * * Add options by creating OptionEntry instances and appropriately-typed variables, * and adding them to an OptionGroup with OptionGroup::add_entry() or * OptionGroup::add_entry_filename(). The option group should then be added to * the OptionContext with set_main_group() or add_group(). * * You might find it convenient to derive your own class from OptionGroup to * contain these OptionEntry instances and member variables. * * If an option is of type string (see OptionGroup::add_entry()) or filename * (see OptionGroup::add_entry_filename()), OptionContext takes * care of converting it to the right encoding. strings are returned in * UTF-8 encoding and filenames are returned in the GLib filename encoding. * Note that this only works if setlocale() has been called before * OptionContext::parse(). * * OptionContext can automatically generate nicely formatted help output. Unless it is * explicitly turned off with set_help_enabled(), this will recognize * the --help, -?, --help-all and --help-groupname options * (where groupname is the name of an OptionGroup) and write suitable text to * stdout. * * */ class OptionContext { _CLASS_GENERIC(OptionContext, GOptionContext) _IGNORE(g_option_context_free) public: /** Creates a new option context. * @param parameter_string A string which is displayed in the first line of --help output, after programname [OPTION...] */ explicit OptionContext(const Glib::ustring& parameter_string = Glib::ustring()); //Note that, unlike Glib::Wrap(), this would create a second C++ instance for the same C instance,u //so it should be used carefully.
