Types of commandline structure
Commandline parametrization can be structured in many ways. The class BasicArgsParser implements support for those most useful ones; however, the component design allows to reuse most args-inject code (gathering declaration) when implementing another parser.
Following sections describe the what BasicArgsParser currently supports:
Minimalistic
- no subcommand - whole application has single functionality
- some options
- examples: wget, cat, head, ... simply most Unix utilities
- sample code: MyPathTool
Basic
- multiple subcommands supported, one per execution, command-specific parameters
- global options, command-specific options
- options (with their values) can occur anywhere with respect to command and its parameters
- examples: svn
- sample code:
Multicommand (not supported yet)
