inline SwitchArg(const std::string &flag, const std::string &name, const std::string &desc, bool def = false, Visitor *v = NULL)

SwitchArg constructor.

Parameters

  • flag – - The one character flag that identifies this argument on the command line.

  • name – - A one word name for the argument. Can be used as a long flag on the command line.

  • desc – - A description of what the argument is for or does.

  • def – - The default value for this Switch.

  • v – - An optional visitor. You probably should not use this unless you have a very good reason.

inline SwitchArg(const std::string &flag, const std::string &name, const std::string &desc, CmdLineInterface &parser, bool def = false, Visitor *v = NULL)

SwitchArg constructor.

Parameters

  • flag – - The one character flag that identifies this argument on the command line.

  • name – - A one word name for the argument. Can be used as a long flag on the command line.

  • desc – - A description of what the argument is for or does.

  • def – - The default value for this Switch.

  • v – - An optional visitor. You probably should not use this unless you have a very good reason.

inline virtual bool processArg(int *i, std::vector<std::string> &args)

Handles the processing of the argument. This re-implements the Arg version of this method to set the _value of the argument appropriately.

Parameters

  • i – - Pointer the the current argument in the list.

  • args – - Mutable list of strings. Passed in from main().

inline bool combinedSwitchesMatch(std::string &combined)

Checks a string to see if any of the chars in the string match the flag for this Switch.

inline bool getValue()

Returns bool, whether or not the switch has been set.
