[pacman-dev] [PATCH v3] libmakepkg: add optional argument support to parseopts

Thu Oct 24 00:38:08 UTC 2019


Adds a "?" suffix that can be used to indicate that an option's argument is
optional.

This allows options to have a default behaviour when the user doesn't
specify one, e.g.: --color=[when] being able to behave like --color=auto
when only --color is passed

Options with optional arguments given on the command line will be returned
in the form "--opt=optarg" and "-o=optarg". Despite that not being the
syntax for passing an argument with a shortopt (trying to pass -o=foo
would make -o's argument "=foo"), this is done to allow the caller to split
the option and its optarg easily

 # A getopt_long-like parser which portably supports longopts and
-# shortopts with some GNU extensions. It does not allow for options
-# with optional arguments. For both short and long opts, options
-# requiring an argument should be suffixed with a colon. After the
-# first argument containing the short opts, any number of valid long
-# opts may be be passed. The end of the options delimiter must then be
-# added, followed by the user arguments to the calling program.
