* @file
*
* @brief This is the only file required to use The Lean Mean C++ Option Parser.
* Just \#include it and you're set.
*
* The Lean Mean C++ Option Parser handles the program's command line arguments
* (argc, argv).
* It supports the short and long option formats of getopt(), getopt_long()
* and getopt_long_only() but has a more convenient interface.
*
* @par Feedback:
* Send questions, bug reports, feature requests etc. to: <tt><b>optionparser-feedback(a)lists.sourceforge.net</b></tt>
*
* @par Highlights:
* <ul style="padding-left:1em;margin-left:0">
* <li> It is a header-only library. Just <code>\#include "optionparser.h"</code> and you're set.
* <li> It is freestanding. There are no dependencies whatsoever, not even the
* C or C++ standard library.
* <li> It has a usage message formatter that supports column alignment and
* line wrapping. This aids localization because it adapts to
* translated strings that are shorter or longer (even if they contain
* Asian wide characters).
* <li> Unlike getopt() and derivatives it doesn't force you to loop through
* options sequentially. Instead you can access options directly like this:
* <ul style="margin-top:.5em">
* <li> Test for presence of a switch in the argument vector:
* @code if ( options[QUIET] ) ... @endcode
* <li> Evaluate --enable-foo/--disable-foo pair where the last one used wins:
* @code if ( options[FOO].last()->type() == DISABLE ) ... @endcode
* <li> Cumulative option (-v verbose, -vv more verbose, -vvv even more verbose):
* @code int verbosity = options[VERBOSE].count(); @endcode
* <li> Iterate over all --file=&lt;fname> arguments:
* @code for (Option* opt = options[FILE]; opt; opt = opt->next())
* fname = opt->arg; ... @endcode
* <li> If you really want to, you can still process all arguments in order:
* @code
* for (int i = 0; i < p.optionsCount(); ++i) {
* Option& opt = buffer[i];
* switch(opt.index()) {
* case HELP: ...
* case VERBOSE: ...
* case FILE: fname = opt.arg; ...
* case UNKNOWN: ...
* @endcode
* </ul>
* </ul> @n
* Despite these features the code size remains tiny.
* It is smaller than <a href="http://uclibc.org">uClibc</a>'s GNU getopt() and just a
* couple 100 bytes larger than uClibc's SUSv3 getopt(). @n
* (This does not include the usage formatter, of course. But you don't have to use that.)
*
* @par Download:
* Tarball with examples and test programs:
* <a style="font-size:larger;font-weight:bold" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/optionparser/files/optionparser-1.6.tar.gz/download">optionparser-1.6.tar.gz</a> @n
* Just the header (this is all you really need):
* <a style="font-size:larger;font-weight:bold" href="http://optionparser.sourceforge.net/optionparser.h">optionparser.h</a>
*
* @par Changelog:
* <b>Version 1.6:</b> Fix for MSC compiler. @n
* <b>Version 1.5:</b> Fixed 2 warnings about potentially uninitialized variables. @n
* Added const version of Option::next(). @n
* <b>Version 1.4:</b> Fixed 2 printUsage() bugs that messed up output with small COLUMNS values. @n
* <b>Version 1.3:</b> Compatible with Microsoft Visual C++. @n
* <b>Version 1.2:</b> Added @ref option::Option::namelen "Option::namelen" and removed the extraction
* of short option characters into a special buffer. @n
* Changed @ref option::Arg::Optional "Arg::Optional" to accept arguments if they are attached
* rather than separate. This is what GNU getopt() does and how POSIX recommends
* utilities should interpret their arguments.@n
* <b>Version 1.1:</b> Optional mode with argument reordering as done by GNU getopt(), so that
* options and non-options can be mixed. See
* @ref option::Parser::parse() "Parser::parse()".
*
*
* @par Example program:
* (Note: @c option::* identifiers are links that take you to their documentation.)

* @endcode
*
* @par Option syntax:
* @li The Lean Mean C++ Option Parser follows POSIX <code>getopt()</code> conventions and supports
* GNU-style <code>getopt_long()</code> long options as well as Perl-style single-minus
* long options (<code>getopt_long_only()</code>).
* @li short options have the format @c -X where @c X is any character that fits in a char.
* @li short options can be grouped, i.e. <code>-X -Y</code> is equivalent to @c -XY.
* @li a short option may take an argument either separate (<code>-X foo</code>) or
* attached (@c -Xfoo). You can make the parser accept the additional format @c -X=foo by
* registering @c X as a long option (in addition to being a short option) and
* enabling single-minus long options.
* @li an argument-taking short option may be grouped if it is the last in the group, e.g.
* @c -ABCXfoo or <code> -ABCX foo </code> (@c foo is the argument to the @c -X option).
* @li a lone minus character @c '-' is not treated as an option. It is customarily used where
* a file name is expected to refer to stdin or stdout.
* @li long options have the format @c --option-name.
* @li the option-name of a long option can be anything and include any characters.
* Even @c = characters will work, but don't do that.
* @li [optional] long options may be abbreviated as long as the abbreviation is unambiguous.
* You can set a minimum length for abbreviations.
* @li [optional] long options may begin with a single minus. The double minus form is always
* accepted, too.
* @li a long option may take an argument either separate (<code> --option arg </code>) or
* attached (<code> --option=arg </code>). In the attached form the equals sign is mandatory.
* @li an empty string can be passed as an attached long option argument: <code> --option-name= </code>.
* Note the distinction between an empty string as argument and no argument at all.
* @li an empty string is permitted as separate argument to both long and short options.
* @li Arguments to both short and long options may start with a @c '-' character. E.g.
* <code> -X-X </code>, <code>-X -X</code> or <code> --long-X=-X </code>. If @c -X
* and @c --long-X take an argument, that argument will be @c "-X" in all 3 cases.
* @li If using the built-in @ref option::Arg::Optional "Arg::Optional", optional arguments must
* be attached.
* @li the special option @c -- (i.e. without a name) terminates the list of
* options. Everything that follows is a non-option argument, even if it starts with
* a @c '-' character. The @c -- itself will not appear in the parse results.
* @li the first argument that doesn't start with @c '-' or @c '--' and does not belong to
* a preceding argument-taking option, will terminate the option list and is the
* first non-option argument. All following command line arguments are treated as
* non-option arguments, even if they start with @c '-' . @n
* NOTE: This behaviour is mandated by POSIX, but GNU getopt() only honours this if it is
* explicitly requested (e.g. by setting POSIXLY_CORRECT). @n
* You can enable the GNU behaviour by passing @c true as first argument to
* e.g. @ref option::Parser::parse() "Parser::parse()".
* @li Arguments that look like options (i.e. @c '-' followed by at least 1 character) but
* aren't, are NOT treated as non-option arguments. They are treated as unknown options and
* are collected into a list of unknown options for error reporting. @n
* This means that in order to pass a first non-option
* argument beginning with the minus character it is required to use the
* @c -- special option, e.g.
* @code
* program -x -- --strange-filename
* @endcode
* In this example, @c --strange-filename is a non-option argument. If the @c --
* were omitted, it would be treated as an unknown option. @n
* See @ref option::Descriptor::longopt for information on how to collect unknown options.

* @brief Parses the given argument vector.
*
* @param gnu if true, parse() will not stop at the first non-option argument. Instead it will
* reorder arguments so that all non-options are at the end. This is the default behaviour
* of GNU getopt() but is not conforming to POSIX. @n
* Note, that once the argument vector has been reordered, the @c gnu flag will have
* no further effect on this argument vector. So it is enough to pass @c gnu==true when
* creating Stats.
* @param usage Array of Descriptor objects that describe the options to support. The last entry
* of this array must have 0 in all fields.
* @param argc The number of elements from @c argv that are to be parsed. If you pass -1, the number
* will be determined automatically. In that case the @c argv list must end with a NULL
* pointer.
* @param argv The arguments to be parsed. If you pass -1 as @c argc the last pointer in the @c argv
* list must be NULL to mark the end.
* @param options Each entry is the first element of a linked list of Options. Each new option
* that is parsed will be appended to the list specified by that Option's
* Descriptor::index. If an entry is not yet used (i.e. the Option is invalid),
* it will be replaced rather than appended to. @n
* The minimum length of this array is the greatest Descriptor::index value that
* occurs in @c usage @e PLUS ONE.
* @param buffer Each argument that is successfully parsed (including unknown arguments, if they
* have a Descriptor whose CheckArg does not return @ref ARG_ILLEGAL) will be stored in this
* array. parse() scans the array for the first invalid entry and begins writing at that
* index. You can pass @c bufmax to limit the number of options stored.
* @param min_abbr_len Passing a value <code> min_abbr_len > 0 </code> enables abbreviated long
* options. The parser will match a prefix of a long option as if it was
* the full long option (e.g. @c --foob=10 will be interpreted as if it was
* @c --foobar=10 ), as long as the prefix has at least @c min_abbr_len characters
* (not counting the @c -- ) and is unambiguous.
* @n Be careful if combining @c min_abbr_len=1 with @c single_minus_longopt=true
* because the ambiguity check does not consider short options and abbreviated
* single minus long options will take precedence over short options.
* @param single_minus_longopt Passing @c true for this option allows long options to begin with
* a single minus. The double minus form will still be recognized. Note that
* single minus long options take precedence over short options and short option
* groups. E.g. @c -file would be interpreted as @c --file and not as
* <code> -f -i -l -e </code> (assuming a long option named @c "file" exists).
* @param bufmax The greatest index in the @c buffer[] array that parse() will write to is
* @c bufmax-1. If there are more options, they will be processed (in particular
* their CheckArg will be called) but not stored. @n
* If you used Stats::buffer_max to dimension this array, you can pass
* -1 (or not pass @c bufmax at all) which tells parse() that the buffer is
* "large enough".
* @attention
* Remember that @c options and @c buffer store Option @e objects, not pointers. Therefore it
* is not possible for the same object to be in both arrays. For those options that are found in
* both @c buffer[] and @c options[] the respective objects are independent copies. And only the
* objects in @c options[] are properly linked via Option::next() and Option::prev().
* You can iterate over @c buffer[] to
* process all options in the order they appear in the argument vector, but if you want access to
* the other Options with the same Descriptor::index, then you @e must access the linked list via
* @c options[]. You can get the linked list in options from a buffer object via something like
* @c options[buffer[i].index()].

* @internal
* @brief Splits a @c Descriptor[] array into tables, rows, lines and columns and

*
* The top-level organizational unit is the @e table.
* A table begins at a Descriptor with @c help!=NULL and extends up to
* a Descriptor with @c help==NULL.
*
* A table consists of @e rows. Due to line-wrapping and explicit breaks
* a row may take multiple lines on screen. Rows within the table are separated
* by \\n. They never cross Descriptor boundaries. This means a row ends either
* at \\n or the 0 at the end of the help string.
*
* A row consists of columns/cells. Columns/cells within a row are separated by \\t.
* Line breaks within a cell are marked by \\v.
*
* Rows in the same table need not have the same number of columns/cells. The
* extreme case are interjections, which are rows that contain neither \\t nor \\v.
* These are NOT treated specially by LinePartIterator, but they are treated
* specially by printUsage().
*
* LinePartIterator iterates through the usage at 3 levels: table, row and part.
* Tables and rows are as described above. A @e part is a line within a cell.
* LinePartIterator iterates through 1st parts of all cells, then through the 2nd
* parts of all cells (if any),... @n
* Example: The row <code> "1 \v 3 \t 2 \v 4" </code> has 2 cells/columns and 4 parts.
* The parts will be returned in the order 1, 2, 3, 4.
*
* It is possible that some cells have fewer parts than others. In this case
* LinePartIterator will "fill up" these cells with 0-length parts. IOW, LinePartIterator
* always returns the same number of parts for each column. Note that this is different
* from the way rows and columns are handled. LinePartIterator does @e not guarantee that
* the same number of columns will be returned for each row.

/**
* @brief Outputs a nicely formatted usage string with support for multi-column formatting
* and line-wrapping.
*
* printUsage() takes the @c help texts of a Descriptor[] array and formats them into
* a usage message, wrapping lines to achieve the desired output width.
*
* <b>Table formatting:</b>
*
* Aside from plain strings which are simply line-wrapped, the usage may contain tables. Tables
* are used to align elements in the output.
*
* @code
* // Without a table. The explanatory texts are not aligned.
* -c, --create |Creates something.
* -k, --kill |Destroys something.
*
* // With table formatting. The explanatory texts are aligned.
* -c, --create |Creates something.
* -k, --kill |Destroys something.
* @endcode
*
* Table formatting removes the need to pad help texts manually with spaces to achieve
* alignment. To create a table, simply insert \\t (tab) characters to separate the cells
* within a row.
*
* @code
* const option::Descriptor usage[] = {
* {..., "-c, --create \tCreates something." },
* {..., "-k, --kill \tDestroys something." }, ...
* @endcode
*
* Note that you must include the minimum amount of space desired between cells yourself.
* Table formatting will insert further spaces as needed to achieve alignment.
*
* You can insert line breaks within cells by using \\v (vertical tab).
*
* @code
* const option::Descriptor usage[] = {
* {..., "-c,\v--create \tCreates\vsomething." },
* {..., "-k,\v--kill \tDestroys\vsomething." }, ...
*
* // results in
*
* -c, Creates
* --create something.
* -k, Destroys
* --kill something.
* @endcode
*
* You can mix lines that do not use \\t or \\v with those that do. The plain
* lines will not mess up the table layout. Alignment of the table columns will
* be maintained even across these interjections.
*
* @code
* const option::Descriptor usage[] = {
* {..., "-c, --create \tCreates something." },
* {..., "----------------------------------" },
* {..., "-k, --kill \tDestroys something." }, ...
*
* // results in
*
* -c, --create Creates something.
* ----------------------------------
* -k, --kill Destroys something.
* @endcode
*
* You can have multiple tables within the same usage whose columns are
* aligned independently. Simply insert a dummy Descriptor with @c help==0.
*
* @code
* const option::Descriptor usage[] = {
* {..., "Long options:" },
* {..., "--very-long-option \tDoes something long." },
* {..., "--ultra-super-mega-long-option \tTakes forever to complete." },
* {..., 0 }, // ---------- table break -----------
* {..., "Short options:" },
* {..., "-s \tShort." },
* {..., "-q \tQuick." }, ...
*
* // results in
*
* Long options:
* --very-long-option Does something long.
* --ultra-super-mega-long-option Takes forever to complete.
* Short options:
* -s Short.
* -q Quick.
*
* // Without the table break it would be
*
* Long options:
* --very-long-option Does something long.
* --ultra-super-mega-long-option Takes forever to complete.
* Short options:
* -s Short.
* -q Quick.
* @endcode
*
* <b>Output methods:</b>
*
* Because TheLeanMeanC++Option parser is freestanding, you have to provide the means for
* output in the first argument(s) to printUsage(). Because printUsage() is implemented as
* a set of template functions, you have great flexibility in your choice of output
* method. The following example demonstrates typical uses. Anything that's similar enough
* will work.
*
* @code
* #include <unistd.h> // write()
* #include <iostream> // cout
* #include <sstream> // ostringstream
* #include <cstdio> // fwrite()
* using namespace std;
*
* void my_write(const char* str, int size) {
* fwrite(str, size, 1, stdout);
* }
*
* struct MyWriter {
* void write(const char* buf, size_t size) const {
* fwrite(str, size, 1, stdout);
* }
* };
*
* struct MyWriteFunctor {
* void operator()(const char* buf, size_t size) {
* fwrite(str, size, 1, stdout);
* }
* };
* ...
* printUsage(my_write, usage); // custom write function
* printUsage(MyWriter(), usage); // temporary of a custom class
* MyWriter writer;
* printUsage(writer, usage); // custom class object
* MyWriteFunctor wfunctor;
* printUsage(&wfunctor, usage); // custom functor
* printUsage(write, 1, usage); // write() to file descriptor 1
* printUsage(cout, usage); // an ostream&
* printUsage(fwrite, stdout, usage); // fwrite() to stdout
* ostringstream sstr;
* printUsage(sstr, usage); // an ostringstream&
*
* @endcode
*
* @par Notes:
* @li the @c write() method of a class that is to be passed as a temporary
* as @c MyWriter() is in the example, must be a @c const method, because
* temporary objects are passed as const reference. This only applies to
* temporary objects that are created and destroyed in the same statement.
* If you create an object like @c writer in the example, this restriction
* does not apply.
* @li a functor like @c MyWriteFunctor in the example must be passed as a pointer.
* This differs from the way functors are passed to e.g. the STL algorithms.
* @li All printUsage() templates are tiny wrappers around a shared non-template implementation.
* So there's no penalty for using different versions in the same program.
* @li printUsage() always interprets Descriptor::help as UTF-8 and always produces UTF-8-encoded
* output. If your system uses a different charset, you must do your own conversion. You
* may also need to change the font of the console to see non-ASCII characters properly.
* This is particularly true for Windows.
* @li @b Security @b warning: Do not insert untrusted strings (such as user-supplied arguments)
* into the usage. printUsage() has no protection against malicious UTF-8 sequences.
*
* @param prn The output method to use. See the examples above.
* @param usage the Descriptor[] array whose @c help texts will be formatted.
* @param width the maximum number of characters per output line. Note that this number is
* in actual characters, not bytes. printUsage() supports UTF-8 in @c help and will
* count multi-byte UTF-8 sequences properly. Asian wide characters are counted
* as 2 characters.
* @param last_column_min_percent (0-100) The minimum percentage of @c width that should be available
* for the last column (which typically contains the textual explanation of an option).
* If less space is available, the last column will be printed on its own line, indented
* according to @c last_column_own_line_max_percent.
* @param last_column_own_line_max_percent (0-100) If the last column is printed on its own line due to
* less than @c last_column_min_percent of the width being available, then only
* @c last_column_own_line_max_percent of the extra line(s) will be used for the
* last column's text. This ensures an indentation. See example below.
*
* @code
* // width=20, last_column_min_percent=50 (i.e. last col. min. width=10)
* --3456789 1234567890
* 1234567890
*
* // width=20, last_column_min_percent=75 (i.e. last col. min. width=15)
* // last_column_own_line_max_percent=75
* --3456789
* 123456789012345
* 67890
*
* // width=20, last_column_min_percent=75 (i.e. last col. min. width=15)
* // last_column_own_line_max_percent=33 (i.e. max. 5)
* --3456789
* 12345
* 67890
* 12345
* 67890
* @endcode
