For an input file in the form + <code><b>name.cli</b></code> the following is generated. By + default or if the <code><b>--generate-cxx</b></code> option is + specified, the following C++ files are generated: + <code><b>name.hxx</b></code> (header file), <code><b>name.ixx</b></code> + (inline file, generated unless the <code><b>--suppress-inline</b></code> + option is specified), and <code><b>name.cxx</b></code> (source file). + If the <code><b>--generate-html</b></code> option is specified, then + the <code><b>name.html</b></code> HTML documentation file is generated. + If the <code><b>--generate-man</b></code> option is specified, then + the <code><b>name.1</b></code> man page file is generated. When + <code><b>--generate-html</b></code> or <code><b>--generate-man</b></code> + is specified, the <code><b>--stdout</b></code> option can be used to + redirect the output to STDOUT instead of a file.</p> + + <h1>OPTIONS</h1> + +<!-- + The following documentation was generated by CLI, a command + line interface compiler for C++. +--> + +<dl class="options"> + <dt><code><b>--help</b></code></dt> + <dd>Print usage information and exit.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--version</b></code></dt> + <dd>Print version and exit.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--output-dir</b></code>|<code><b>-o</b></code> <i>dir</i></dt> + <dd>Write the generated files to <i>dir</i> instead of the current directory.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--generate-modifier</b></code></dt> + <dd>Generate option value modifiers in addition to accessors.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--generate-specifier</b></code></dt> + <dd>Generate functions for determining whether the option was specified on the + command line.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--generate-description</b></code></dt> + <dd>Generate the option description list that can be examined at runtime.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--generate-file-scanner</b></code></dt> + <dd>Generate the <code>argv_file_scanner</code> implementation.

This + is useful when you have multiple options classes, potentially in separate + files, and would like their usage to have the same indentation level.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--cli-namespace</b></code> <i>ns</i></dt> + <dd>Generate the CLI support types in the <i>ns</i> namespace + (<code><b>cli</b></code> by default). The namespace can be nested, for + example <code><b>details::cli</b></code>.

The <i>fq-name</i> name should be a fully-qualified options + class name, for example, <code><b>app::options</b></code>. This + functionality is useful if you need to insert custom documentation between + options belonging to different classes.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--stdout</b></code></dt> + <dd>Write output to STDOUT instead of a file. This option is not valid when + generating C++ code and is normally used to combine generated documentation + for several option classes in a single file.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--hxx-suffix</b></code> <i>suffix</i></dt> + <dd>Use <i>suffix</i> instead of the default <code><b>.hxx</b></code> to + construct the name of the generated header file.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--ixx-suffix</b></code> <i>suffix</i></dt> + <dd>Use <i>suffix</i> instead of the default <code><b>.ixx</b></code> to + construct the name of the generated inline file.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--cxx-suffix</b></code> <i>suffix</i></dt> + <dd>Use <i>suffix</i> instead of the default <code><b>.cxx</b></code> to + construct the name of the generated source file.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--man-suffix</b></code> <i>suffix</i></dt> + <dd>Use <i>suffix</i> instead of the default <code><b>.1</b></code> to construct + the name of the generated man page file.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--html-suffix</b></code> <i>suffix</i></dt> + <dd>Use <i>suffix</i> instead of the default <code><b>.html</b></code> to + construct the name of the generated HTML file.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--option-prefix</b></code> <i>prefix</i></dt> + <dd>Use <i>prefix</i> instead of the default <code><b>-</b></code> as an option + prefix.

If you set the option prefix to the empty value, + then all the unknown command line arguments will be treated as program + arguments.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--option-separator</b></code> <i>sep</i></dt> + <dd>Use <i>sep</i> instead of the default <code><b>--</b></code> as an optional + separator between options and arguments. All the command line arguments that + are parsed after this separator are treated as program arguments. Set the + option separator to the empty value if you don't want this functionality.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--include-with-brackets</b></code></dt> + <dd>Use angle brackets (<>) instead of quotes ("") in the generated + <code><b>#include</b></code> directives.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--include-prefix</b></code> <i>prefix</i></dt> + <dd>Add <i>prefix</i> to the generated <code><b>#include</b></code> directive + paths.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--guard-prefix</b></code> <i>prefix</i></dt> + <dd>Add <i>prefix</i> to the generated header inclusion guards.

If provided, the replacement name is + used instead. All C++ keywords are already in this list.</dd> + + <dt><code><b>--options-file</b></code> <i>file</i></dt> + <dd>Read additional options from <i>file</i> with each option appearing on a + separate line optionally followed by space and an option value. Empty lines + and lines starting with <code><b>#</b></code> are ignored. Option values can + be enclosed in double (<code><b>"</b></code>) or single + (<code><b>'</b></code>) quotes to preserve leading and trailing whitespaces + as well as to specify empty values. If the value itself contains trailing or + leading quotes, enclose it with an extra pair of quotes, for example + <code><b>'"x"'</b></code>. Non-leading and non-trailing quotes are + interpreted as being part of the option value. + + <p>The semantics of providing options in a file is equivalent to providing + the same set of options in the same order on the command line at the point + where the <code><b>--options-file</b></code> option is specified except that + the shell escaping and quoting is not required.
