Detailed Description

Class that helps parse command line input arguments from (argc,argv[]) and set options.

This class will process command-line arguments in the form of (argc,argv[]) and set user-defined options. This class can also work in a number of modes. This processor can require that all options be recognized or not.

This class object will also setup the behavior of Teuchos::VerboseObjectBase::getDefaultOStream() if this->addOutputSetupOptions()==true

Warning, the option --show-timer-summary is only enabled if the subpackage TeuchosComm is enabled!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Teuchos::CommandLineProcessor::CommandLineProcessor	(	bool	throwExceptions = `true`,
		bool	recogniseAllOptions = `true`,
		bool	addOutputSetupOptions = `false`
	)

Default Constructor.

Parameters:

throwExceptions	[in] If `true` then `this->parse()` will throw exceptions instead of returning `!=PARSE_SUCCESSFUL`.
recogniseAllOptions	[in] If `true` then `this->parse()` will return the appropriate error for any option it does not recognize. If `false`, then `this->parse()` will simply ignore options that it does not recognize. However, a warning will be printed for any unrecognized option, but no errors will be returned.
addOutputSetupOptions	[in] If `true` then options will be automatically added to setup `Teuchos::VerboseObjectBase::getDefaultOStream()`.

Teuchos::CommandLineProcessor::~CommandLineProcessor ( )

		const EType	enum_opt_values[],
		const char *	enum_opt_names[],

CommandLineProcessor::EParseCommandLineReturn Teuchos::CommandLineProcessor::parse	(	int	argc,
		char *	argv[],
		std::ostream *	errout = `&std::cerr`
	)		const

Parse a command line.

Parameters:

argc	[in] number of entries in argv[]
argv	[in/out] array (length argc) of command line arguments. argv[0] should be the name of the program on the shell as usual.
errout	[out] If `!=NULL` then error and help messages are sent here. The default is set to `&std::cerr`.

Postconditions:

If an unrecognized option is found
- If this->recogniseAllOptions()==true
  - An error message will be printed to *errout and parsing will stop as follows:
  - If this->throwExceptions()==true
    - This method will throw an UnrecognizedOption std::exception
  - else
    - This method will return PARSE_UNRECOGNIZED_OPTION
  - endif
- else
  - A warning message will be printed to *errout and parsing will continue
- endif
else if the option --help is found
- If this->throwExceptions()==true
  - This method will throw a HelpPrinted std::exception
- else
  - This method will return PARSE_HELP_PRINTED
- endif
else
- This method will return PARSE_SUCCESSFUL
endif

Note that if the option --pause-for-debugging is present, then std::string Type 0 and press enter to continue : will be printed to standard error (std::cerr) and execution will be suspended until the user enters any non-null character(s). This option is designed to make it easier to attach a debugger, especially in a parallel MPI program. If HAVE_MPI is defined, then output/input is only performed with the process with rank 0 and then MPI calls insure that all processors wait (using MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD)) until the user has entered something. This allows the user to attach a debugger to one or more parallel MPI processes and set breakpoints before execution resumes. Note that the stream *errout is not used for this output/input but instead std::cerr is directly used.

If Teuchos::VerboseObjectBase::getDefaultOStream().get()!=NULL and this->addOutputSetupOptions(), then any of the default setup options for Teuchos::VerboseObjectBase::getDefaultOStream() that are set on the commandline will be set on Teuchos::VerboseObjectBase::getDefaultOStream().

void Teuchos::CommandLineProcessor::printHelpMessage	(	const char	program_name[],
		std::ostream &	out
	)		const

Print the help message.

Parameters:

out	[in/out] The stream the documentation will be printed to.

This will print a formatted set of documentation that shows what options are set, what their default values are and any user-supplied documentation about each option.

Definition at line 399 of file Teuchos_CommandLineProcessor.cpp.

void Teuchos::CommandLineProcessor::printFinalTimerSummary ( const Ptr< std::ostream > & out = null )

Call to print timers so that they don't get printed in the destructor.

Calling this function after the first call has no effect.
