Futhark.CodeGen.Backends.GenericC.Options

Description

This module defines a generator for getopt_long based command line argument parsing. Each option is associated with arbitrary C code that will perform side effects, usually by setting some global variables.

Synopsis

data Option = Option {
- optionLongName :: String
- optionShortName :: Maybe Char
- optionArgument :: OptionArgument
- optionAction :: Stm
}
data OptionArgument
- = NoArgument
- | RequiredArgument
- | OptionalArgument
generateOptionParser :: String -> [Option] -> Func

generateOptionParser :: String -> [Option] -> Func Source #

Generate an option parser as a function of the given name, that accepts the given command line options. The result is a function that should be called with argc and argv. The function returns the number of argv elements that have been processed.

If option parsing fails for any reason, the entire process will terminate with error code 1.
