Detailed Description

xiiCommandLineOptionDoc can be used to document a command line option whose logic might be more complex than what the other option types provide.

This class is meant to be used for options that are actually queried directly through xiiCommandLineUtils, but should still show up in the command line option documentation, such that the user can discover them.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetLongDesc()

void xiiCommandLineOptionDoc::GetLongDesc ( xiiStringBuilder & ref_sOut) const
overridevirtual

Returns a proper description of the option.

The long description is allowed to contain newlines (
) and the output will be formatted accordingly.

Implements xiiCommandLineOption.

◆ GetOptions()

void xiiCommandLineOptionDoc::GetOptions ( xiiStringBuilder & ref_sOut) const
overridevirtual

Writes all the supported options (e.g. '-arg') to 'out'. If more than one option is allowed, they should be separated with semicolons or pipes.

Implements xiiCommandLineOption.

◆ GetParamDefaultValueDesc()

void xiiCommandLineOptionDoc::GetParamDefaultValueDesc ( xiiStringBuilder & ref_sOut) const
overridevirtual

Returns a very short string for the options default value. For example "0" or "auto".

Implements xiiCommandLineOption.

Reimplemented in xiiCommandLineOptionEnum, xiiCommandLineOptionFloat, and xiiCommandLineOptionInt.

◆ GetParamShortDesc()

void xiiCommandLineOptionDoc::GetParamShortDesc ( xiiStringBuilder & ref_sOut) const
overridevirtual

Returns a very short description of the option (type). For example "<int>" or "<enum>".

Implements xiiCommandLineOption.

Reimplemented in xiiCommandLineOptionEnum, xiiCommandLineOptionFloat, and xiiCommandLineOptionInt.
