#!/usr/local/bin/perl # # file: $isip/scripts/perl/command_line/command_line.pm # # this file contains the subroutines that pertain to command line parsing # # subroutine: command_line # # parse a command line in a standard robust manner. see the cl_example.pl # script for an example of use. # # arguments: # # the first element of the argument list should be the number of fixed # position command line options, referred to as $num_fixed. # $num_fixed = -1, allow any number of fixed arguments # $num_fixed = 0, no fixed arguments # $num_fixed > 0, allow exactly $num_fixed fixed arguments # # the rest of the argument list should be a sequence of text strings # representing allowable options followed by integers giving the number # of arguments for that option. the integer for the number of arguments # follows the same rules as the indicator for the number of fixed argument. # e.g.: # foo.pl -param runit.cfg -debug 3 # has two options, -param and -debug, with corresponding values of # runit.cfg and 3. both of these options take one argument. there are no # fixed arguments. so the call to the command_line procedure would appear as: # ($param_file,$debug_level) = command_line(0,"-param",1,"-debug",1); # # the options can appear anywhere in any order on the command line, # even intermixed with the fixed arguments. the obvious exception is that a # variable number of option arguments must not immediately precede a # fixed argument on the command line. e.g.: # isip_play -sf 8000 foo.dat -channels 0 1 2 3 # will be legal, but # isip_play -sf 8000 -channels 0 1 2 3 foo.dat # is not, as the routine will not be able to distinguish if foo.dat is # the fixed argument or the fifth channel argument. this is only for a # variable number of option arguments, had the number of channel # arguments been specified to 4 then either case would be valid. # # the return list from this subroutine will first contain $num_fixed # fixed arguments in the order they appear on the command line, # followed by the option values, respectively spaced to the input # list. if an option was not specified on the command line its # position in the list will hold a null string. # # an example is necessary to clarify: # # consider a simplified usage of isip_play # usage: isip_play -sf 8000 -t ul foo.ul # this string has two options and 1 fixed argument. so, # ($sample_freq,$type,$filename) = command_line(1,"-sf",1,"-t",1); # will do the trick. if the program had two fixed arguments, i.e.: # usage: isip_play -sf 8000 -t ul foo1.ul foo2.ul # simply specify two fixed arguments, # ($sample_freq,$type,$f1,$f2) = command_line(2,"-sf",1,"-t",1); # # alternately, the fixed arguments may be returned as a list, so # ($sample_freq,$type,@files) = command_line(2,"-sf",1,"-t",1); # works much the same way. this is also the approach that should be # used if a variable number of fixed arguments is specified. perl # handles this internally. # # up to this point, all options have used 1 argument. any option may # take any number of arguments, with -1 signifying a variable number # of arguments. for example, flags will usually take no arguments, so # usage: isip_play -swap_bytes -sf 8000 foo.ul # will have the interface # ($swap_bytes,$sf,$f1) = command_line(1,"-swap_bytes",0,"-sf",1); # while the program # usage: swap_channels foo.ul -channels c1 c2 -t .ul # will interface as: # ($chans,$type,$file) = command_line(1,"-channels",2,"-type",1); # the scalar variable $chans will be a space delimited string "c1 c2". # # define some useful constants for the command line and help routines # $DEFAULT_ISIP_HELP_OPTION = "(?:-help|-\\?)"; $DEFAULT_ISIP_HELP_COMMAND = "more"; @tmp = split(/\//,$0); $DEFAULT_ISIP_PROG_NAME = pop(@tmp); $DEFAULT_ISIP_HELP_FILE = <<__DEF_ISIP_HELP_HF__; The creator of the script you are using has not included online help for this tool.
