4925695e 21;;; This module implements some complex command line option parsing, in
3925d0c3 22;;; the spirit of the GNU C library function `getopt_long'. Both long
4925695e 23;;; and short options are supported.
64705682 24;;;
4925695e
JB
25;;; The theory is that people should be able to constrain the set of
26;;; options they want to process using a grammar, rather than some arbitrary
27;;; structure. The grammar makes the option descriptions easy to read.
64705682 28;;;
3925d0c3
TTN
29;;; `getopt-long' is a procedure for parsing command-line arguments in a
30;;; manner consistent with other GNU programs. `option-ref' is a procedure
31;;; that facilitates processing of the `getopt-long' return value.
4925695e
JB

33;;; (getopt-long ARGS GRAMMAR)
34;;; Parse the arguments ARGS according to the argument list grammar GRAMMAR.
35;;;
36;;; ARGS should be a list of strings. Its first element should be the
37;;; name of the program; subsequent elements should be the arguments
38;;; that were passed to the program on the command line. The
39;;; `program-arguments' procedure returns a list of this form.
40;;;
41;;; GRAMMAR is a list of the form:
42;;; ((OPTION (PROPERTY VALUE) ...) ...)
43;;;
44;;; Each OPTION should be a symbol. `getopt-long' will accept a
45;;; command-line option named `--OPTION'.
46;;; Each option can have the following (PROPERTY VALUE) pairs:
64705682 47;;;
4925695e
JB
48;;; (single-char CHAR) --- Accept `-CHAR' as a single-character
49;;; equivalent to `--OPTION'. This is how to specify traditional
50;;; Unix-style flags.
51;;; (required? BOOL) --- If BOOL is true, the option is required.
52;;; getopt-long will raise an error if it is not found in ARGS.
53;;; (value BOOL) --- If BOOL is #t, the option accepts a value; if
54;;; it is #f, it does not; and if it is the symbol
55;;; `optional', the option may appear in ARGS with or
64705682 56;;; without a value.
4925695e
JB
57;;; (predicate FUNC) --- If the option accepts a value (i.e. you
58;;; specified `(value #t)' for this option), then getopt
59;;; will apply FUNC to the value, and throw an exception
60;;; if it returns #f. FUNC should be a procedure which
61;;; accepts a string and returns a boolean value; you may
62;;; need to use quasiquotes to get it into GRAMMAR.
63;;;
64;;; The (PROPERTY VALUE) pairs may occur in any order, but each
65;;; property may occur only once. By default, options do not have
66;;; single-character equivalents, are not required, and do not take
67;;; values.
64705682 68;;;
4925695e
JB
69;;; In ARGS, single-character options may be combined, in the usual
70;;; Unix fashion: ("-x" "-y") is equivalent to ("-xy"). If an option
71;;; accepts values, then it must be the last option in the
72;;; combination; the value is the next argument. So, for example, using
73;;; the following grammar:
74;;; ((apples (single-char #\a))
75;;; (blimps (single-char #\b) (value #t))
76;;; (catalexis (single-char #\c) (value #t)))
77;;; the following argument lists would be acceptable:
78;;; ("-a" "-b" "bang" "-c" "couth") ("bang" and "couth" are the values
79;;; for "blimps" and "catalexis")
80;;; ("-ab" "bang" "-c" "couth") (same)
81;;; ("-ac" "couth" "-b" "bang") (same)
82;;; ("-abc" "couth" "bang") (an error, since `-b' is not the
83;;; last option in its combination)
84;;;
85;;; If an option's value is optional, then `getopt-long' decides
86;;; whether it has a value by looking at what follows it in ARGS. If
3925d0c3
TTN
87;;; the next element is does not appear to be an option itself, then
88;;; that element is the option's value.
4925695e
JB
89;;;
90;;; The value of a long option can appear as the next element in ARGS,
91;;; or it can follow the option name, separated by an `=' character.
92;;; Thus, using the same grammar as above, the following argument lists
93;;; are equivalent:
94;;; ("--apples" "Braeburn" "--blimps" "Goodyear")
95;;; ("--apples=Braeburn" "--blimps" "Goodyear")
96;;; ("--blimps" "Goodyear" "--apples=Braeburn")
97;;;
98;;; If the option "--" appears in ARGS, argument parsing stops there;
99;;; subsequent arguments are returned as ordinary arguments, even if
100;;; they resemble options. So, in the argument list:
101;;; ("--apples" "Granny Smith" "--" "--blimp" "Goodyear")
102;;; `getopt-long' will recognize the `apples' option as having the
103;;; value "Granny Smith", but it will not recognize the `blimp'
104;;; option; it will return the strings "--blimp" and "Goodyear" as
105;;; ordinary argument strings.
106;;;
107;;; The `getopt-long' function returns the parsed argument list as an
108;;; assocation list, mapping option names --- the symbols from GRAMMAR
109;;; --- onto their values, or #t if the option does not accept a value.
110;;; Unused options do not appear in the alist.
111;;;
112;;; All arguments that are not the value of any option are returned
113;;; as a list, associated with the empty list.
114;;;
115;;; `getopt-long' throws an exception if:
3925d0c3
TTN
116;;; - it finds an unrecognized property in GRAMMAR
117;;; - the value of the `single-char' property is not a character
4925695e
JB
118;;; - it finds an unrecognized option in ARGS
119;;; - a required option is omitted
120;;; - an option that requires an argument doesn't get one
121;;; - an option that doesn't accept an argument does get one (this can
122;;; only happen using the long option `--opt=value' syntax)
123;;; - an option predicate fails
124;;;
125;;; So, for example:
126;;;
127;;; (define grammar
128;;; `((lockfile-dir (required? #t)
129;;; (value #t)
130;;; (single-char #\k)
131;;; (predicate ,file-is-directory?))
132;;; (verbose (required? #f)
133;;; (single-char #\v)
134;;; (value #f))
135;;; (x-includes (single-char #\x))
64705682 136;;; (rnet-server (single-char #\y)
4925695e
JB
137;;; (predicate ,string?))))
138;;;
64705682 139;;; (getopt-long '("my-prog" "-vk" "/tmp" "foo1" "--x-includes=/usr/include"
4925695e
JB
140;;; "--rnet-server=lamprod" "--" "-fred" "foo2" "foo3")
141;;; grammar)
142;;; => ((() "foo1" "-fred" "foo2" "foo3")
143;;; (rnet-server . "lamprod")
144;;; (x-includes . "/usr/include")
145;;; (lockfile-dir . "/tmp")
146;;; (verbose . #t))
147
3925d0c3
TTN
148;;; (option-ref OPTIONS KEY DEFAULT)
149;;; Return value in alist OPTIONS using KEY, a symbol; or DEFAULT if not
150;;; found. The value is either a string or `#t'.
151;;;
152;;; For example, using the `getopt-long' return value from above:
153;;;
154;;; (option-ref (getopt-long ...) 'x-includes 42) => "/usr/include"
155;;; (option-ref (getopt-long ...) 'not-a-key! 31) => 31
