lua_altgetopt is a module for Lua programming language
|
||
|
for processing application's arguments the same way
|
||
|
BSD/GNU getopt_long(3) functions do.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Main features and goals:
|
||
|
1) compatibility to SUS "Utility Syntax Guidelines"
|
||
|
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap12.html#tag_12_02
|
||
|
guidelines 3-13.
|
||
|
2) This module is for plain Lua
|
||
|
2) No extra dependencies
|
||
|
3) No hooks, no functional tricks ;-)
|
||
|
4) Support for long options, e.g. compatibility with getopt_long(3) C
|
||
|
function
|
||
|
present in *BSD and GNU libc.
|
||
|
5) Long options may optionally have one-char synonym or other long synonym
|
||
|
6) Strict error checking (checks for an incorrect use of options)
|
||
|
7) alt_getopt.lua is a Lua module.
