-=== Why +OptionParser+?
-
-When a Ruby program executes, it captures its command-line arguments
-and options into variable ARGV.
-This simple program just prints its +ARGV+:
-
- :include: ruby/argv.rb
-
-Execution, with arguments and options:
-
- $ ruby argv.rb foo --bar --baz bat bam
- ["foo", "--bar", "--baz", "bat", "bam"]
-
-The executing program is responsible for parsing and handling
-the command-line options.
-
-OptionParser offers methods for parsing and handling those options.
-
-With +OptionParser+, you can define options so that for each option:
-
-- The code that defines the option and code that handles that option
- are in the same place.
-- The option may take no argument, a required argument, or an optional argument.
-- The argument may be automatically converted to a specified class.
-- The argument may be restricted to specified _forms_.
-- The argument may be restricted to specified _values_.
-
-The class also has method #help, which displays automatically-generated help text.

-=== To Begin With
-
-To use +OptionParser+:
-
-1. Require the +OptionParser+ code.
-2. Create an +OptionParser+ object.
-3. Define one or more options.
-4. Parse the command line.
-
-File +basic.rb+ defines three options, <tt>-x</tt>,
-<tt>-y</tt>, and <tt>-z</tt>, each with a descriptive string,
-and each with a block.
-
- :include: ruby/basic.rb
-
-From these defined options, the parser automatically builds help text:
-
- $ ruby basic.rb --help
- Usage: basic [options]
- -x Whether to X
- -y Whether to Y
- -z Whether to Z
-
-When an option is found during parsing,
-the block defined for the option is called with the argument value.
-An invalid option raises an exception.
-
-Method #parse!, which is used most often in this tutorial,
-removes from +ARGV+ the options and arguments it finds,
-leaving other non-option arguments for the program to handle on its own.
-The method returns the possibly-reduced +ARGV+ array.
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby basic.rb -x -z
- ["x", true]
- ["z", true]
- []
- $ ruby basic.rb -z -y -x
- ["z", true]
- ["y", true]
- ["x", true]
- []
- $ ruby basic.rb -x input_file.txt output_file.txt
- ["x", true]
- ["input_file.txt", "output_file.txt"]
- $ ruby basic.rb -a
- basic.rb:16:in `<main>': invalid option: -a (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
-
-=== Defining Options
-
-A common way to define an option in +OptionParser+
-is with instance method OptionParser#on.
-
-The method may be called with any number of arguments
-(whose order does not matter),
-and may also have a trailing optional keyword argument +into+.
-
-The given arguments determine the characteristics of the new option.
-These may include:
-
-- One or more short option names.
-- One or more long option names.
-- Whether the option takes no argument, an optional argument, or a required argument.
-- Acceptable _forms_ for the argument.
-- Acceptable _values_ for the argument.
-- A proc or method to be called when the parser encounters the option.
-- String descriptions for the option.
-
-=== Option Names
-
-You can give an option one or more names of two types:
-
-- Short (1-character) name, beginning with one hyphen (<tt>-</tt>).
-- Long (multi-character) name, beginning with two hyphens (<tt>--</tt>).
-
-==== Short Option Names
-
-A short option name consists of a hyphen and a single character.
-
-File +short_names.rb+
-defines an option with a short name, <tt>-x</tt>,
-and an option with two short names (aliases, in effect) <tt>-y</tt> and <tt>-z</tt>.
-
- :include: ruby/short_names.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby short_names.rb --help
- Usage: short_names [options]
- -x Short name
- -1, -% Two short names
- $ ruby short_names.rb -x
- ["x", true]
- $ ruby short_names.rb -1
- ["-1 or -%", true]
- $ ruby short_names.rb -%
- ["-1 or -%", true]
-
-Multiple short names can "share" a hyphen:
-
- $ ruby short_names.rb -x1%
- ["x", true]
- ["-1 or -%", true]
- ["-1 or -%", true]
-
-==== Long Option Names
-
-A long option name consists of two hyphens and a one or more characters
-(usually two or more characters).
-
-File +long_names.rb+
-defines an option with a long name, <tt>--xxx</tt>,
-and an option with two long names (aliases, in effect) <tt>--y1%</tt> and <tt>--z2#</tt>.
-
- :include: ruby/long_names.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby long_names.rb --help
- Usage: long_names [options]
- --xxx Long name
- --y1%, --z2# Two long names
- $ ruby long_names.rb --xxx
- ["-xxx", true]
- $ ruby long_names.rb --y1%
- ["--y1% or --z2#", true]
- $ ruby long_names.rb --z2#
- ["--y1% or --z2#", true]
-
-A long name may be defined with both positive and negative senses.
-
-File +long_with_negation.rb+ defines an option that has both senses.
-
- :include: ruby/long_with_negation.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby long_with_negation.rb --help
- Usage: long_with_negation [options]
- --[no-]binary Long name with negation
- $ ruby long_with_negation.rb --binary
- [true, TrueClass]
- $ ruby long_with_negation.rb --no-binary
- [false, FalseClass]
-
-==== Mixing Option Names
-
-Many developers like to mix short and long option names,
-so that a short name is in effect an abbreviation of a long name.
-
-File +mixed_names.rb+
-defines options that each have both a short and a long name.
-
- :include: ruby/mixed_names.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb --help
- Usage: mixed_names [options]
- -x, --xxx Short and long, no argument
- -y, --yyyYYY Short and long, required argument
- -z, --zzz [ZZZ] Short and long, optional argument
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb -x
- ["--xxx", true]
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb --xxx
- ["--xxx", true]
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb -y
- mixed_names.rb:12:in `<main>': missing argument: -y (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb -y FOO
- ["--yyy", "FOO"]
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb --yyy
- mixed_names.rb:12:in `<main>': missing argument: --yyy (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb --yyy BAR
- ["--yyy", "BAR"]
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb -z
- ["--zzz", nil]
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb -z BAZ
- ["--zzz", "BAZ"]
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb --zzz
- ["--zzz", nil]
- $ ruby mixed_names.rb --zzz BAT
- ["--zzz", "BAT"]
-
-==== Option Name Abbreviations
-
-By default, abbreviated option names on the command-line are allowed.
-An abbreviated name is valid if it is unique among abbreviated option names.
-
- :include: ruby/name_abbrev.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby name_abbrev.rb --help
- Usage: name_abbrev [options]
- -n, --dry-run
- -d, --draft
- $ ruby name_abbrev.rb -n
- ["--dry-run", true]
- $ ruby name_abbrev.rb --dry-run
- ["--dry-run", true]
- $ ruby name_abbrev.rb -d
- ["--draft", true]
- $ ruby name_abbrev.rb --draft
- ["--draft", true]
- $ ruby name_abbrev.rb --d
- name_abbrev.rb:9:in `<main>': ambiguous option: --d (OptionParser::AmbiguousOption)
- $ ruby name_abbrev.rb --dr
- name_abbrev.rb:9:in `<main>': ambiguous option: --dr (OptionParser::AmbiguousOption)
- $ ruby name_abbrev.rb --dry
- ["--dry-run", true]
- $ ruby name_abbrev.rb --dra
- ["--draft", true]
-
-You can disable abbreviation using method +require_exact+.
-
- :include: ruby/no_abbreviation.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby no_abbreviation.rb --dry-ru
- no_abbreviation.rb:10:in `<main>': invalid option: --dry-ru (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
- $ ruby no_abbreviation.rb --dry-run
- ["--dry-run", true]
-
-=== Option Arguments
-
-An option may take no argument, a required argument, or an optional argument.
-
-==== Option with No Argument
-
-All the examples above define options with no argument.
-
-==== Option with Required Argument
-
-Specify a required argument for an option by adding a dummy word
-to its name definition.
-
-File +required_argument.rb+ defines two options;
-each has a required argument because the name definition has a following dummy word.
-
- :include: ruby/required_argument.rb
-
-When an option is found, the given argument is yielded.
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby required_argument.rb --help
- Usage: required_argument [options]
- -x, --xxx XXX Required argument via short name
- -y, --y YYY Required argument via long name
- $ ruby required_argument.rb -x AAA
- ["--xxx", "AAA"]
- $ ruby required_argument.rb -y BBB
- ["--yyy", "BBB"]
-
-Omitting a required argument raises an error:
-
- $ ruby required_argument.rb -x
- required_argument.rb:9:in `<main>': missing argument: -x (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
-
-==== Option with Optional Argument
-
-Specify an optional argument for an option by adding a dummy word
-enclosed in square brackets to its name definition.
-
-File +optional_argument.rb+ defines two options;
-each has an optional argument because the name definition has a following dummy word
-in square brackets.
-
- :include: ruby/optional_argument.rb
-
-When an option with an argument is found, the given argument yielded.
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby optional_argument.rb --help
- Usage: optional_argument [options]
- -x, --xxx [XXX] Optional argument via short name
- -y, --yyy [YYY] Optional argument via long name
- $ ruby optional_argument.rb -x AAA
- ["--xxx", "AAA"]
- $ ruby optional_argument.rb -y BBB
- ["--yyy", "BBB"]
-
-Omitting an optional argument does not raise an error.
-
-=== Argument Values
-
-Permissible argument values may be restricted
-either by specifying explicit values
-or by providing a pattern that the given value must match.
-
-==== Explicit Argument Values
-
-You can specify argument values in either of two ways:
-
-- Specify values an array of strings.
-- Specify values a hash.
-
-===== Explicit Values in Array
-
-You can specify explicit argument values in an array of strings.
-The argument value must be one of those strings, or an unambiguous abbreviation.
-
-File +explicit_array_values.rb+ defines options with explicit argument values.
-
- :include: ruby/explicit_array_values.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby explicit_array_values.rb --help
- Usage: explicit_array_values [options]
- -xXXX Values for required argument
- -y [YYY] Values for optional argument
- $ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x
- explicit_array_values.rb:9:in `<main>': missing argument: -x (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
- $ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x foo
- ["-x", "foo"]
- $ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x f
- ["-x", "foo"]
- $ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x bar
- ["-x", "bar"]
- $ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -y ba
- explicit_array_values.rb:9:in `<main>': ambiguous argument: -y ba (OptionParser::AmbiguousArgument)
- $ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x baz
- explicit_array_values.rb:9:in `<main>': invalid argument: -x baz (OptionParser::InvalidArgument)
-
-
-===== Explicit Values in Hash
-
-You can specify explicit argument values in a hash with string keys.
-The value passed must be one of those keys, or an unambiguous abbreviation;
-the value yielded will be the value for that key.
-
-File +explicit_hash_values.rb+ defines options with explicit argument values.
-
- :include: ruby/explicit_hash_values.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb --help
- Usage: explicit_hash_values [options]
- -xXXX Values for required argument
- -y [YYY] Values for optional argument
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x
- explicit_hash_values.rb:9:in `<main>': missing argument: -x (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x foo
- ["-x", 0]
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x f
- ["-x", 0]
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x bar
- ["-x", 1]
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x baz
- explicit_hash_values.rb:9:in `<main>': invalid argument: -x baz (OptionParser::InvalidArgument)
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y
- ["-y", nil]
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y baz
- ["-y", 2]
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y bat
- ["-y", 3]
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y ba
- explicit_hash_values.rb:9:in `<main>': ambiguous argument: -y ba (OptionParser::AmbiguousArgument)
- $ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y bam
- ["-y", nil]
-
-==== Argument Value Patterns
-
-You can restrict permissible argument values
-by specifying a Regexp that the given argument must match.
-
-File +matched_values.rb+ defines options with matched argument values.
-
- :include: ruby/matched_values.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby matched_values.rb --help
- Usage: matched_values [options]
- --xxx XXX Matched values
- $ ruby matched_values.rb --xxx foo
- ["--xxx", "foo"]
- $ ruby matched_values.rb --xxx FOO
- ["--xxx", "FOO"]
- $ ruby matched_values.rb --xxx bar
- matched_values.rb:6:in `<main>': invalid argument: --xxx bar (OptionParser::InvalidArgument)
-
-=== Keyword Argument +into+
-
-In parsing options, you can add keyword option +into+ with a hash-like argument;
-each parsed option will be added as a name/value pair.
-
-This is useful for:
-
-- Collecting options.
-- Checking for missing options.
-- Providing default values for options.
-
-==== Collecting Options
-
-Use keyword argument +into+ to collect options.
-
- :include: ruby/collected_options.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby collected_options.rb --help
- Usage: into [options]
- -x, --xxx Short and long, no argument
- -y, --yyyYYY Short and long, required argument
- -z, --zzz [ZZZ] Short and long, optional argument
- $ ruby collected_options.rb --xxx
- {:xxx=>true}
- $ ruby collected_options.rb --xxx --yyy FOO
- {:xxx=>true, :yyy=>"FOO"}
- $ ruby collected_options.rb --xxx --yyy FOO --zzz Bar
- {:xxx=>true, :yyy=>"FOO", :zzz=>"Bar"}
- $ ruby collected_options.rb --xxx --yyy FOO --yyy BAR
- {:xxx=>true, :yyy=>"BAR"}
-
-Note in the last execution that the argument value for option <tt>--yyy</tt>
-was overwritten.
-
-==== Checking for Missing Options
-
-Use the collected options to check for missing options.
-
- :include: ruby/missing_options.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby missing_options.rb --help
- Usage: missing_options [options]
- -x, --xxx Short and long, no argument
- -y, --yyyYYY Short and long, required argument
- -z, --zzz [ZZZ] Short and long, optional argument
- $ ruby missing_options.rb --yyy FOO
- missing_options.rb:11:in `<main>': Missing required options: [:xxx, :zzz] (RuntimeError)
-
-==== Default Values for Options
-
-Initialize the +into+ argument to define default values for options.
-
- :include: ruby/default_values.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby default_values.rb --help
- Usage: default_values [options]
- -x, --xxx Short and long, no argument
- -y, --yyyYYY Short and long, required argument
- -z, --zzz [ZZZ] Short and long, optional argument
- $ ruby default_values.rb --yyy FOO
- {:yyy=>"FOO", :zzz=>"BBB"}
-
-=== Argument Converters
-
-An option can specify that its argument is to be converted
-from the default +String+ to an instance of another class.
-There are a number of built-in converters.
-
-Example: File +date.rb+
-defines an option whose argument is to be converted to a +Date+ object.
-The argument is converted by method Date#parse.
-
- :include: ruby/date.rb
-
-Executions:
-
- $ ruby date.rb --date 2001-02-03
- [#<Date: 2001-02-03 ((2451944j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>, Date]
- $ ruby date.rb --date 20010203
- [#<Date: 2001-02-03 ((2451944j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>, Date]
- $ ruby date.rb --date "3rd Feb 2001"
- [#<Date: 2001-02-03 ((2451944j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>, Date]
-
-You can also define custom converters.
-See {Argument Converters}[./argument_converters.rdoc]
-for both built-in and custom converters.
-
-=== Help
-
-+OptionParser+ makes automatically generated help text available.
-
-The help text consists of:
-
-- A banner, showing the usage.
-- Option short and long names.
-- Option dummy argument names.
-- Option descriptions.
-
-Example code:
-
- :include: ruby/help.rb
-
-The option names and dummy argument names are defined as described above.
-
-The option description consists of the strings that are not themselves option names;
-An option can have more than one description string.
-Execution:
-
- Usage: help [options]
- -x, --xxx Adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget.
- Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus
- -y, --yyy YYY Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer.
- -z, --zzz [ZZZ] Et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur
- ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies
- nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem.
-
-The program name is included in the default banner:
-<tt>Usage: #{program_name} [options]</tt>;
-you can change the program name.
-
- :include: ruby/help_program_name.rb
-
-Execution:
-
- $ ruby help_program_name.rb --help
- Usage: help_program_name.rb [options]
-
-You can also change the entire banner.
-
- :include: ruby/help_banner.rb
-
-Execution:
-
- $ ruby help_banner.rb --help
- Usage: ruby help_banner.rb
-
-By default, the option names are indented 4 spaces
-and the width of the option-names field is 32 spaces.
-
-You can change these values, along with the banner,
-by passing parameters to OptionParser.new.
-
- :include: ruby/help_format.rb
-
-Execution:
-
- $ ruby help_format.rb --help
- ruby help_format.rb [options]
- -x, --xxx Adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget.
- Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus
- -y, --yyy YYY Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer.
- -z, --zzz [ZZZ] Et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur
- ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies
- nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem.
-
-=== Top List and Base List
-
-An +OptionParser+ object maintains a stack of OptionParser::List objects,
-each of which has a collection of zero or more options.
-It is unlikely that you'll need to add or take away from that stack.
-
-The stack includes:
-
-- The <em>top list</em>, given by OptionParser#top.
-- The <em>base list</em>, given by OptionParser#base.
-
-When +OptionParser+ builds its help text, the options in the top list
-precede those in the base list.
-
-=== Methods for Defining Options
-
-Option-defining methods allow you to create an option, and also append/prepend it
-to the top list or append it to the base list.
-
-Each of these next three methods accepts a sequence of parameter arguments and a block,
-creates an option object using method OptionParser#make_switch (see below),
-and returns the created option:
-
-- \Method OptionParser#define appends the created option to the top list.
-
-- \Method OptionParser#define_head prepends the created option to the top list.
-
-- \Method OptionParser#define_tail appends the created option to the base list.
-
-These next three methods are identical to the three above,
-except for their return values:
-
-- \Method OptionParser#on is identical to method OptionParser#define,
- except that it returns the parser object +self+.
-
-- \Method OptionParser#on_head is identical to method OptionParser#define_head,
- except that it returns the parser object +self+.
-
-- \Method OptionParser#on_tail is identical to method OptionParser#define_tail,
- except that it returns the parser object +self+.
-
-Though you may never need to call it directly,
-here's the core method for defining an option:
-
-- \Method OptionParser#make_switch accepts an array of parameters and a block.
- See {Parameters for New Options}[optparse/option_params.rdoc].
- This method is unlike others here in that it:
- - Accepts an <em>array of parameters</em>;
- others accept a <em>sequence of parameter arguments</em>.
- - Returns an array containing the created option object,
- option names, and other values;
- others return either the created option object
- or the parser object +self+.
-
-=== Parsing
-
-+OptionParser+ has six instance methods for parsing.
-
-Three have names ending with a "bang" (<tt>!</tt>):
-
-- parse!
-- order!
-- permute!
-
-Each of these methods:
-
-- Accepts an optional array of string arguments +argv+;
- if not given, +argv+ defaults to the value of OptionParser#default_argv,
- whose initial value is ARGV.
-- Accepts an optional keyword argument +into+
- (see {Keyword Argument into}[#label-Keyword+Argument+into]).
-- Returns +argv+, possibly with some elements removed.
-
-The three other methods have names _not_ ending with a "bang":
-
-- parse
-- order
-- permute
-
-Each of these methods:
-
-- Accepts an array of string arguments
- _or_ zero or more string arguments.
-- Accepts an optional keyword argument +into+ and its value _into_.
- (see {Keyword Argument into}[#label-Keyword+Argument+into]).
-- Returns +argv+, possibly with some elements removed.
-
-==== \Method +parse!+
-
-\Method +parse!+:
-
-- Accepts an optional array of string arguments +argv+;
- if not given, +argv+ defaults to the value of OptionParser#default_argv,
- whose initial value is ARGV.
-- Accepts an optional keyword argument +into+
- (see {Keyword Argument into}[#label-Keyword+Argument+into]).
-- Returns +argv+, possibly with some elements removed.
-
-The method processes the elements in +argv+ beginning at <tt>argv[0]</tt>,
-and ending, by default, at the end.
-
-Otherwise processing ends and the method returns when:
-
-- The terminator argument <tt>--</tt> is found;
- the terminator argument is removed before the return.
-- Environment variable +POSIXLY_CORRECT+ is defined
- and a non-option argument is found;
- the non-option argument is not removed.
- Note that the _value_ of that variable does not matter,
- as only its existence is checked.

-==== \Method +parse+
-
-\Method +parse+:
-
-- Accepts an array of string arguments
- _or_ zero or more string arguments.
-- Accepts an optional keyword argument +into+ and its value _into_.
- (see {Keyword Argument into}[#label-Keyword+Argument+into]).
-- Returns +argv+, possibly with some elements removed.
-
-If given an array +ary+, the method forms array +argv+ as <tt>ary.dup</tt>.
-If given zero or more string arguments, those arguments are formed
-into array +argv+.
-
-The method calls
-
- parse!(argv, into: into)
-
-Note that environment variable +POSIXLY_CORRECT+
-and the terminator argument <tt>--</tt> are honored.
