Option parsers

A Parser is composed of a list of options. Several kinds of options are supported:

Flags: simple no-argument options. When a flag is encountered on the command line, its value is returned.
Options: options with an argument. An option can define a reader , which converts its argument from String to the desired value, or throws a parse error if the argument does not validate correctly.
Arguments: positional arguments, validated in the same way as option arguments.
Commands. A command defines a completely independent sub-parser. When a command is encountered, the whole command line is passed to the corresponding parser.

data Parser a Source #

A Parser a is an option parser returning a value of type a .

Constructors

ParserPrefs

Fields

prefMultiSuffix :: String

metavar suffix for multiple options
prefDisambiguate :: Bool

automatically disambiguate abbreviations (default: False)
prefShowHelpOnError :: Bool

always show help text on parse errors (default: False)
prefShowHelpOnEmpty :: Bool

show the help text for a command or subcommand if it fails with no input (default: False)
prefBacktrack :: Backtracking

backtrack to parent parser when a subcommand fails (default: Backtrack)
prefColumns :: Int

number of columns in the terminal, used to format the help page (default: 80)
prefHelpLongEquals :: Bool

Running parsers

runParserInfo :: MonadP m => ParserInfo a -> Args -> m a Source #

runParserFully :: MonadP m => ArgPolicy -> Parser a -> Args -> m a Source #

runParserStep :: MonadP m => ArgPolicy -> Parser a -> String -> Args -> m ( Maybe ( Parser a), Args ) Source #

runParser :: MonadP m => ArgPolicy -> IsCmdStart -> Parser a -> Args -> m (a, Args ) Source #

Apply a Parser to a command line, and return a result and leftover arguments. This function returns an error if any parsing error occurs, or if any options are missing and don't have a default value.

evalParser :: Parser a -> Maybe a Source #

The default value of a Parser . This function returns an error if any of the options don't have a default value.

Low-level utilities

mapParser :: ( forall x. ArgumentReachability -> Option x -> b) -> Parser a -> [b] Source #

Map a polymorphic function over all the options of a parser, and collect the results in a list.

treeMapParser :: ( forall x. ArgumentReachability -> Option x -> b) -> Parser a -> OptTree b Source #

Like mapParser , but collect the results in a tree structure.

optionNames :: OptReader a -> [ OptName ] Source #
