Struct
GLibOptionContext
Instance methods
g_option_context_add_group
Adds a GOptionGroup to the context, so that parsing with context
will recognize the options in the group. Note that this will take
ownership of the group and thus the group should not be freed.
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_add_main_entries
A convenience function which creates a main group if it doesn’t
exist, adds the entries to it and sets the translation domain.
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_free
Frees context and all the groups which have been added to it.
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_get_description
Returns the description. See g_option_context_set_description().
Available since: 2.12
g_option_context_get_help
Returns a formatted, translated help text for the given context.
To obtain the text produced by --help, call
g_option_context_get_help (context, TRUE, NULL).
To obtain the text produced by --help-all, call
g_option_context_get_help (context, FALSE, NULL).
To obtain the help text for an option group, call
g_option_context_get_help (context, FALSE, group).
Available since: 2.14
g_option_context_get_help_enabled
Returns whether automatic --help generation
is turned on for context. See g_option_context_set_help_enabled().
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_get_ignore_unknown_options
Returns whether unknown options are ignored or not. See g_option_context_set_ignore_unknown_options().
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_get_main_group
Returns a pointer to the main group of context.
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_get_strict_posix
Returns whether strict POSIX code is enabled.
Available since: 2.44
g_option_context_get_summary
Returns the summary. See g_option_context_set_summary().
Available since: 2.12
g_option_context_parse
Parses the command line arguments, recognizing options
which have been added to context. A side-effect of
calling this function is that g_set_prgname() will be called.
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_set_description
Adds a string to be displayed in --help output after the list
of options. This text often includes a bug reporting address.
Available since: 2.12
g_option_context_set_help_enabled
Enables or disables automatic generation of --help output.
By default, g_option_context_parse() recognizes --help, -h,
-?, --help-all and --help-groupname and creates suitable
output to stdout.
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_set_ignore_unknown_options
Sets whether to ignore unknown options or not. If an argument is
ignored, it is left in the argv array after parsing. By default,
g_option_context_parse() treats unknown options as error.
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_set_main_group
Sets a GOptionGroup as main group of the context.
This has the same effect as calling g_option_context_add_group(),
the only difference is that the options in the main group are
treated differently when generating --help output.
Available since: 2.6
g_option_context_set_summary
Adds a string to be displayed in --help output before the list
of options. This is typically a summary of the program functionality.
Available since: 2.12
g_option_context_set_translate_func
Sets the function which is used to translate the contexts
user-visible strings, for --help output. If func is NULL,
strings are not translated.
Available since: 2.12
g_option_context_set_translation_domain
A convenience function to use gettext() for translating
user-visible strings.
Available since: 2.12
