#
# When this file is changed, tools/command-lines.h
# and tools/command-lines-count.h must be regenerated
# with:
#
# scripts/create-commands --output count scripts/command-lines.in > tools/command-lines-count.h
# scripts/create-commands --output struct scripts/command-lines.in > tools/command-lines.h
#

#
# Syntax
#
# A new command has a unique combination of:
# command name, required option args and required
# positional args.
#
# To define a new command, begin a single line with a
# command name, followed by required options/args,
# (e.g. --foo, or --foo val), followed by required
# positional args, (e.g. VG)
#
# After the single line of required elements are lines
# of optional elements:
# OO: <optional --option args>
# OP: <optional positional args>
#
# command_name required_opt_arg ... required_pos_arg ...
# OO: optional_opt_arg, ...
# OP: optional_pos_arg ...
#
# required_opt_arg/optional_opt_arg must begin with the
# long form option name, e.g. --foo.  If the option name
# takes a value, then the type of value is specified,
# e.g. --foo String.
#
# Possible option names are listed in args.h
#
# Use --foo_long to specify that only the long form of
# --foo is accepted by the command.  (This is uncommon.)
#
# Possible option arg types are shown in tools/vals.h,
# e.g. Bool, String, VG, SizeMB.
#
# --option args outside the list of types in vals.h are treated

# positional args can be multiple types separated by |, e.g. VG|LV|Tag
#
# If a positional arg is repeatable, it is followed by ..., e.g. VG|LV|Tag ...
#
# LV can have a suffix indicating the LV type, e.g. LV_linear, LV_thinpool.
# LV_raid represents any raidN.  LV_type1_type2_type3 when the LV is
# limited to multiple specific types.
#
# Note that two commands whose required paramters differ only by
# the LV types they accept are ambiguous.  That is, they cannot be
# distinguished by just looking at the command, but require reading
# the VG to find the LV type.  So, command definitions that differ
# only in accepted LV types are not allowed.  It would be best to
# distinguish them by using different option names.
# There are FIXME's below for some of these cases.

# VG, LV can have the suffix _new, indicating the named VG or LV
# does not yet exist.

# If Select is included in pos_arg, it means that the pos_arg
# may be empty if the --select option is used.

# --size and --extents are interchangable, but only --size is used

# automatically included and recognized as an alternative to --size.
