add()

void tt::CommandLineParser::add ( std::string name, datum_type_t type, std::string help, std::function< int(std::string_view)> enum_conversion = {} )

inlinenoexcept

Add a configuration option.

Parameters

name	Name of the option. Excluding the leading dashes
type	Type of the option's argument
help	Description text of the option.
enum_conversion	A function that converts a string to an integer.

has_error()

bool tt::CommandLineParser::has_error ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

check if an error has occured during parsing.

parse()

datum tt::CommandLineParser::parse ( std::vector< std::string > const & arguments )

inlinenoexcept

Parse the arguments.

The result will be a map of option/value pairs. Special options are:

• 'executable-path' The path to the exectuable.
• 'arguments' A list of strings of the non-option arguments.

Parameters

arguments

a list of command line arguments, including the exectable name as the first argument.

Returns

The result as a map-datum, with option names as the keys.

print_help()

void tt::CommandLineParser::print_help ( )

inline

Print help text for the command line arguments.

This will also print any error messages that happened during the parsing.
