\ingroup tools
\brief The QCommandLineParser class provides a means for handling the
command line options.
QCoreApplication provides the command-line arguments as a simple list of strings.
QCommandLineParser provides the ability to define a set of options, parse the
command-line arguments, and store which options have actually been used, as
well as option values.
Any argument that isn't an option (i.e. doesn't start with a \c{-}) is stored
as a "positional argument".
The parser handles short names, long names, more than one name for the same
option, and option values.
Options on the command line are recognized as starting with a single or
double \c{-} character(s).
The option \c{-} (single dash alone) is a special case, often meaning standard
input, and not treated as an option. The parser will treat everything after the
option \c{--} (double dash) as positional arguments.
Short options are single letters. The option \c{v} would be specified by
passing \c{-v} on the command line. In the default parsing mode, short options
can be written in a compact form, for instance \c{-abc} is equivalent to \c{-a -b -c}.
The parsing mode for can be set to ParseAsLongOptions, in which case \c{-abc}
will be parsed as the long option \c{abc}.
Long options are more than one letter long and cannot be compacted together.
The long option \c{verbose} would be passed as \c{--verbose} or \c{-verbose}.
Passing values to options can be done using the assignment operator: \c{-v=value}
\c{--verbose=value}, or a space: \c{-v value} \c{--verbose value}, i.e. the next
argument is used as value (even if it starts with a \c{-}).
The parser does not support optional values - if an option is set to
require a value, one must be present. If such an option is placed last
and has no value, the option will be treated as if it had not been
specified.
The parser does not automatically support negating or disabling long options
by using the format \c{--disable-option} or \c{--no-option}. However, it is
possible to handle this case explicitly by making an option with \c{no-option}
as one of its names, and handling the option explicitly.
Example:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qcommandlineparser_main.cpp 0
If your compiler supports the C++11 standard, the three addOption() calls in
the above example can be simplified:
\snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qcommandlineparser_main.cpp cxx11
Known limitation: the parsing of Qt options inside QCoreApplication and subclasses
happens before QCommandLineParser exists, so it can't take it into account. This
means any option value that looks like a builtin Qt option, will be treated by
QCoreApplication as a builtin Qt option. Example: \c{--profile -reverse} will
lead to QGuiApplication seeing the -reverse option set, and removing it from
QCoreApplication::arguments() before QCommandLineParser defines the \c{profile}
option and parses the command line.
\section2 How to Use QCommandLineParser in Complex Applications
In practice, additional error checking needs to be performed on the positional
arguments and option values. For example, ranges of numbers should be checked.
It is then advisable to introduce a function to do the command line parsing
which takes a struct or class receiving the option values returning an
enumeration representing the result. The dnslookup example of the QtNetwork
module illustrates this:
\snippet dnslookup.h 0
\snippet dnslookup.cpp 0
In the main function, help should be printed to the standard output if the help option
was passed and the application should return the exit code 0.
If an error was detected, the error message should be printed to the standard
error output and the application should return an exit code other than 0.
\snippet dnslookup.cpp 1
A special case to consider here are GUI applications on Windows and mobile
platforms. These applications may not use the standard output or error channels
since the output is either discarded or not accessible.
On Windows, QCommandLineParser uses message boxes to display usage information
and errors if no console window can be obtained.
For other platforms, it is recommended to display help texts and error messages
using a QMessageBox. To preserve the formatting of the help text, rich text
with \c <pre> elements should be used:
\code
switch (parseCommandLine(parser, &query, &errorMessage)) {
case CommandLineOk:
break;
case CommandLineError:
QMessageBox::warning(0, QGuiApplication::applicationDisplayName(),
"<html><head/><body><h2>" + errorMessage + "</h2><pre>"
+ parser.helpText() + "</pre></body></html>");
return 1;
case CommandLineVersionRequested:
QMessageBox::information(0, QGuiApplication::applicationDisplayName(),
QGuiApplication::applicationDisplayName() + ' '
+ QCoreApplication::applicationVersion());
return 0;
case CommandLineHelpRequested:
QMessageBox::warning(0, QGuiApplication::applicationDisplayName(),
"<html><head/><body><pre>"
+ parser.helpText() + "</pre></body></html>");
return 0;
}
\endcode
However, this does not apply to the dnslookup example, because it is a
console application.

\enum QCommandLineParser::SingleDashWordOptionMode
This enum describes the way the parser interprets command-line
options that use a single dash followed by multiple letters, as as \c{-abc}.
\value ParseAsCompactedShortOptions \c{-abc} is interpreted as \c{-a -b -c},
i.e. as three short options that have been compacted on the command-line,
if none of the options take a value. If \c{a} takes a value, then it
is interpreted as \c{-a bc}, i.e. the short option \c{a} followed by the value \c{bc}.
This is typically used in tools that behave like compilers, in order
to handle options such as \c{-DDEFINE=VALUE} or \c{-I/include/path}.
This is the default parsing mode. New applications are recommended to
use this mode.
\value ParseAsLongOptions \c{-abc} is interpreted as \c{--abc},
i.e. as the long option named \c{abc}. This is how Qt's own tools
(uic, rcc...) have always been parsing arguments. This mode should be
used for preserving compatibility in applications that were parsing
arguments in such a way. There is an exception if the \c{a} option has the
QCommandLineOption::ShortOptionStyle flag set, in which case it is still
interpreted as \c{-a bc}.

/*!
\enum QCommandLineParser::OptionsAfterPositionalArgumentsMode
This enum describes the way the parser interprets options that
occur after positional arguments.
\value ParseAsOptions \c{application argument --opt -t} is interpreted as setting
the options \c{opt} and \c{t}, just like \c{application --opt -t argument} would do.
This is the default parsing mode. In order to specify that \c{--opt} and \c{-t}
are positional arguments instead, the user can use \c{--}, as in
\c{application argument -- --opt -t}.
\value ParseAsPositionalArguments \c{application argument --opt} is interpreted as
having two positional arguments, \c{argument} and \c{--opt}.
This mode is useful for executables that aim to launch other executables
(e.g. wrappers, debugging tools, etc.) or that support internal commands
followed by options for the command. \c{argument} is the name of the command,
and all options occurring after it can be collected and parsed by another
command line parser, possibly in another executable.

This can be useful for instance to show a graphical error message in graphical programs.
Calling parse() instead of process() can also be useful in order to ignore unknown
options temporarily, because more option definitions will be provided later on
(depending on one of the arguments), before calling process().
