CliBuilderInternal (Groovy 5.0.7)

Package: groovy.cli.internal

## [Groovy] Class CliBuilderInternal

- groovy.cli.internal.CliBuilderInternal

-     class CliBuilderInternal
      extends Object

  Cut-down version of CliBuilder with just enough functionality for Groovy's internal usage. Uses the embedded version of picocli classes. TODO: prune this right back to have only the functionality needed by Groovy commandline tools

    Properties
    Type | Name and description
    --- | ---
    `boolean` | `acceptLongOptionsWithSingleHyphen` For backwards compatibility with Apache Commons CLI, set this property to `true` if the parser should recognize long options with both a single hyphen and a double hyphen prefix.
    `PrintWriter` | `errorWriter` The PrintWriter to write to when invalid user input was provided to the parse(java.lang.String[]) method.
    `boolean` | `expandArgumentFiles` Whether arguments of the form '`@`filename' will be expanded into the arguments contained within the file named filename (default true).
    `String` | `footer` Optional additional message for usage; displayed after the options.
    `String` | `header` Optional additional message for usage; displayed after the usage summary but before the options are displayed.
    `String` | `name` This property allows customizing the program name displayed in the synopsis when `cli.usage()` is called.
    `CommandLine.Model.ParserSpec` | `parser`
    `Boolean` | `posix` To disallow clustered POSIX short options, set this to false.
    `Map<String, TypedOption>` | `savedTypeOptions` Internal data structure mapping option names to their associated TypedOption object.
    `boolean` | `stopAtNonOption` Configures what the parser should do when arguments not recognized as options are encountered: when `true` (the default), the remaining arguments are all treated as positional parameters.
    `String` | `usage` The command synopsis displayed as the first line in the usage help message, e.g., when `cli.usage()` is called.
    `CommandLine.Model.UsageMessageSpec` | `usageMessage`
    `int` | `width` Allows customisation of the usage message width.
    `PrintWriter` | `writer` The PrintWriter to write the usage help message to when `cli.usage()` is called.

- - ### Property Detail

    - #### boolean acceptLongOptionsWithSingleHyphen

      For backwards compatibility with Apache Commons CLI, set this property to `true` if the parser should recognize long options with both a single hyphen and a double hyphen prefix. The default is `false`, so only long options with a double hyphen prefix (`--option`) are recognized.

      Since:
        2.5

    - #### PrintWriter errorWriter

      The PrintWriter to write to when invalid user input was provided to the parse(java.lang.String[]) method. Defaults to stderr but you can provide your own PrintWriter if desired.

      Since:
        2.5

    - #### boolean expandArgumentFiles

      Whether arguments of the form '`@`filename' will be expanded into the arguments contained within the file named filename (default true).

    - #### String footer

      Optional additional message for usage; displayed after the options.

    - #### String header

      Optional additional message for usage; displayed after the usage summary but before the options are displayed.

    - #### String name

      This property allows customizing the program name displayed in the synopsis when `cli.usage()` is called. Ignored if the usage property is set.

      Since:
        2.5

    - #### final CommandLine.Model.ParserSpec parser

    - #### Boolean posix

      To disallow clustered POSIX short options, set this to false.

    - #### Map<String, TypedOption> savedTypeOptions

      Internal data structure mapping option names to their associated TypedOption object.

    - #### boolean stopAtNonOption

      Configures what the parser should do when arguments not recognized as options are encountered: when `true` (the default), the remaining arguments are all treated as positional parameters. When `false`, the parser will continue to look for options, and only the unrecognized arguments are treated as positional parameters.

    - #### String usage

      The command synopsis displayed as the first line in the usage help message, e.g., when `cli.usage()` is called. When not set, a default synopsis is generated that shows the supported options and parameters.

    - #### final CommandLine.Model.UsageMessageSpec usageMessage

    - #### int width

      Allows customisation of the usage message width.

    - #### PrintWriter writer

      The PrintWriter to write the usage help message to when `cli.usage()` is called. Defaults to stdout but you can provide your own PrintWriter if desired.
