Other differences between GNU's getopt and this implementation: * To enforce a coherent description of options and arguments, there are explanation fields in the option/argument descriptor. * Error messages are now more informative, but no longer POSIX compliant... :-( And a final Haskell advertisement: The GNU C implementation uses well over 1100 lines, we need only 195 here, including a 46 line example! :-) -} module System.Console.GetOpt ( -- * GetOpt getOpt, getOpt', usageInfo, ArgOrder(..), OptDescr(..), ArgDescr(..), -- * Examples -- |To hopefully illuminate the role of the different data structures, -- here are the command-line options for a (very simple) compiler, -- done in two different ways. -- The difference arises because the type of 'getOpt' is -- parameterized by the type of values derived from flags. -- ** Interpreting flags as concrete values -- $example1 -- ** Interpreting flags as transformations of an options record -- $example2 ) where import Data.List ( isPrefixOf, find ) -- |What to do with options following non-options data ArgOrder a = RequireOrder -- ^ no option processing after first non-option | Permute -- ^ freely intersperse options and non-options | ReturnInOrder (String -> a) -- ^ wrap non-options into options {-| Each 'OptDescr' describes a single option.

Then the rest of the program will use the constructed list of flags to determine it\'s behaviour. -} {- $example2 A different approach is to group the option values in a record of type @Options@, and have each flag yield a function of type @Options -> Options@ transforming this record. > module Opts2 where > > import System.Console.GetOpt > import Data.Maybe ( fromMaybe ) > > data Options = Options > { optVerbose :: Bool > , optShowVersion :: Bool > , optOutput :: Maybe FilePath > , optInput :: Maybe FilePath > , optLibDirs :: [FilePath] > } deriving Show > > defaultOptions = Options > { optVerbose = False > , optShowVersion = False > , optOutput = Nothing > , optInput = Nothing > , optLibDirs = [] > } > > options :: [OptDescr (Options -> Options)] > options = > [ Option ['v'] ["verbose"] > (NoArg (\ opts -> opts { optVerbose = True })) > "chatty output on stderr" > , Option ['V','?'] ["version"] > (NoArg (\ opts -> opts { optShowVersion = True })) > "show version number" > , Option ['o'] ["output"] > (OptArg ((\ f opts -> opts { optOutput = Just f }) . fromMaybe "output") > "FILE") > "output FILE" > , Option ['c'] [] > (OptArg ((\ f opts -> opts { optInput = Just f }) . fromMaybe "input") > "FILE") > "input FILE" > , Option ['L'] ["libdir"] > (ReqArg (\ d opts -> opts { optLibDirs = optLibDirs opts ++ [d] }) "DIR") > "library directory" > ] > > compilerOpts :: [String] -> IO (Options, [String]) > compilerOpts argv = > case getOpt Permute options argv of > (o,n,[] ) -> return (foldl (flip id) defaultOptions o, n) > (_,_,errs) -> ioError (userError (concat errs ++ usageInfo header options)) > where header = "Usage: ic [OPTION...] files..." Similarly, each flag could yield a monadic function transforming a record, of type @Options -> IO Options@ (or any other monad), allowing option processing to perform actions of the chosen monad, e.g. printing help or version messages, checking that file arguments exist, etc. -}
