Detailed Description

A basic command line interpreter.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CommandLine()

ts::CommandLine::CommandLine ( Report & report = (ts::CerrReport::Instance()) )

Constructor.

Parameters

[in,out] report Reference to a report where all messages are displayed. The reference must remain valid as long as this object exists.

Member Function Documentation

◆ setShell()

void ts::CommandLine::setShell ( const UString & shell )

Set the "shell" string for all commands.

Parameters

[in] shell Shell name string.

See also: Args::setShell()

◆ command() [1/2]

Args * ts::CommandLine::command	(	const UString &	name,
		const UString &	description = UString(),
		const UString &	syntax = UString(),
		int	flags = 0 )

inline

Add the definition of a command to the interpreter, without command handler.

Parameters

[in]	name	Command name.
[in]	description	A short one-line description of the command.
[in]	syntax	A short one-line syntax summary, eg. "[options] filename ...".
[in]	flags	An or'ed mask of Args::Flags values.

Returns: A pointer to the Args for this command. The application will typically add options to this Args.

		int	flags = 0 )

inline

Add the definition of a command to the interpreter.

Template Parameters

HANDLER A subclass of CommandLineHandler.

Parameters

[in]	handler	Command handler object. A null pointer is allowed (unhandled command).
[in]	method	Command handler method. A null pointer is allowed (unhandled command).

[in]	description	A short one-line description of the command.
[in]	syntax	A short one-line syntax summary, eg. "[options] filename ...".
[in]	flags	An or'ed mask of Args::Flags values.

Returns: A pointer to the Args for this command. The application will typically add options to this Args.

See also: Args::Flags; Args::Args()

◆ setCommandLineHandler()

template<class HANDLER>
requires std::derived_from<HANDLER, CommandLineHandler>

void ts::CommandLine::setCommandLineHandler	(	HANDLER *	handler,
		CommandStatus(HANDLER::*	method )(const UString &, Args &),
		const UString &	name = UString() )

inline

Set a new command line handler for one or all commands.

Template Parameters

HANDLER A subclass of CommandLineHandler.

Parameters

[in]	handler	Command handler object. A null pointer is allowed (unhandled command).
[in]	method	Command handler method. A null pointer is allowed (unhandled command).
[in]	name	Command name. If empty (the default), handler is set on all commands.

◆ addPredefinedCommands()

void ts::CommandLine::addPredefinedCommands ( )

Add the predefined commands help, quit and exit. Useful for interactive interpreters.

◆ processRedirections()

bool ts::CommandLine::processRedirections ( bool on )

Set command line redirection from files.

Parameters

[in] on If true, process command line arguments redirection. All lines with the form '@filename' are replaced by the content The initial default is false.

Returns: The previous state of the redirections.

◆ analyzeCommand() [1/2]

bool ts::CommandLine::analyzeCommand ( const UString & command )

Analyze a command line.

Parameters

[in] command Full command line, with command name and parameters. Parameters are separated with spaces. Special characters and spaces must be escaped or quoted in the parameters.

Returns: True if the command is correct, false otherwise.

◆ analyzeCommand() [2/2]

bool ts::CommandLine::analyzeCommand	(	const UString &	name,
		const UStringVector &	arguments )

Analyze a command line.

Parameters

[in]	name	Command name.
[in]	arguments	Arguments from command line.

Returns: True if the command is correct, false otherwise.

◆ processCommand() [1/2]

CommandStatus ts::CommandLine::processCommand	(	const UString &	line,
		Report *	redirect = nullptr )

Analyze and process a command line.

Parameters

[in]	line	Full command line, with command name and parameters. Parameters are separated with spaces. Special characters and spaces must be escaped or quoted in the parameters.
[in]	redirect	If not null, temporarily redirect errors here.

Returns: Command status.

◆ processCommand() [2/2]

CommandStatus ts::CommandLine::processCommand	(	const UString &	name,
		const UStringVector &	arguments,
		Report *	redirect = nullptr )

Analyze and process a command line.

[in]	exit_on_error	If true, exit command session on first error.
[in]	redirect	If not null, temporarily redirect errors here.

Returns: Command status of the last command.
