Euclid::Fits::ProgramOptions Class Reference

#include <ProgramOptions.h>

Class Description

Helper class to declare positional and named options, and help message.

Here is an example use case for the following command line:

Program <positional> --named1 <value1> --named2 <value2> 

Let's assume that the help message is provided in a file help.txt in the auxiliary directory.

In the associated Elements::Program, override defineProgramArguments() as follows:

std::pair<OptionsDescription, PositionalOptionsDescription> defineProgramArguments() override {
  auto options = ProgramOptions::fromAuxdir("help.txt");
  options.positional("positional", value<std::string>(), "Positional option");
  options.named("named1", value<int>(), "Named option 1");
  options.named("named2", value<int>(), "Named option 2");
  return options.asPair();
}

Public Types
using	OptionsDescription = boost::program_options::options_description
	Same alias as Elements::Program::OptionsDescription.
using	PositionalOptionsDescription = boost::program_options::positional_options_description
	Same alias as Elements::Program::PositionalOptionsDescription.
using	ValueSemantics = boost::program_options::value_semantic
	Shortcut to Boost's class.
