| <h2>Introduction</h2> |
| <p>The utilities in <code>org.apache.commons.cli.avalon</code> assist |
| you in parsing command line options during startup time. It allows you |
| to associate a short option and a long option to the same command, and |
| then test for it in a switch statement.</p> |

| <h2>Parsing Rules</h2> |
| <p> |
| The command line is parsed according to the following rules. There are |
| two forms of options in this package, the Long form and the Short form. |
| The long form of an option is preceded by the '--' characters while the |
| short form is preceded by a single '-'. Some example options would be; |
| "--an-option", "-a", "--day", "-s -f -a". |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| In the tradition of UNIX programs, the short form of an option can occur |
| immediately after another short form option. So if 'a', 'b' and 'c' are |
| short forms of options that take no parameters then the following |
| command lines are equivalent: "-abc", "-a -bc", "-a -b -c", "-ab -c", etc. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Options can also accept arguments if specified. You can specify that an |
| option requires an argument in which the text immediately following the |
| option will be considered to be an argument to the option. So if 'a' was an |
| option that required an argument then the following would be equivalent; |
| "-abc", "-a bc" (namely the option 'a' with argument 'bc'). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Options can also specify optional arguments. In this case if there is any |
| text immediately following the option character then it is considered an |
| argument. Otherwise, the option has no arguments. For example if 'a' was an |
| option that required an optional argument then "-abc" is an option 'a' with |
| argument "bc" while "-a bc" is an option 'a' with no argument, followed by |
| the text "bc". </p> |
| <p>It is also possible to place an '=' sign between the option |
| and its argument. So if we assume that a is an option that |
| requires an argument then the following are equivalent; |
| "-a=bc" and "-abc". |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| In the case of a long option with an optional argument, the '=' sign is required. |
| For example. --optarg=1, not --optarg 1. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| In some cases it is also necessary to disable command line parsing so that you |
| can pass a text argument to the program that starts with a '-' character. To do |
| this insert the sequence '--' onto the command line with no text immediately |
| following it. This will disable processing for the rest of the command line. |
| The '--' characters will not be passed to the user program. For instance the |
| line "-- -b" would result in the program being passed the |
| text "-b" (ie. not as an option). |
