Extends command line arguments array (ARGV) to parse itself.
Substitution of getopts is possible as follows. Also see OptionParser#getopts.
def getopts(*args) ($OPT = ARGV.getopts(*args)).each do |opt, val| eval "$OPT_#{opt.gsub(/[^A-Za-z0-9_]/, '_')} = val" end rescue OptionParser::ParseError end
 
               # File optparse.rb, line 2205
def getopts(*args)
  options.getopts(self, *args)
end
             
            Actual OptionParser object, automatically created if nonexistent.
If called with a block, yields the OptionParser object and returns the result of the block. If an OptionParser::ParseError exception occurs in the block, it is rescued, a error message printed to STDERR and nil returned.
 
               # File optparse.rb, line 2164
def options
  @optparse ||= OptionParser.new
  @optparse.default_argv = self
  block_given? or return @optparse
  begin
    yield @optparse
  rescue ParseError
    @optparse.warn $!
    nil
  end
end
             
            Sets OptionParser object, when opt is false or nil, methods OptionParser::Arguable#options and OptionParser::Arguable#options= are undefined. Thus, there is no ways to access the OptionParser object via the receiver object.
 
               # File optparse.rb, line 2147
def options=(opt)
  unless @optparse = opt
    class << self
      undef_method(:options)
      undef_method(:options=)
    end
  end
end
             
            Parses self destructively in order and returns self containing the rest arguments left unparsed.
 
               # File optparse.rb, line 2180
def order!(&blk) options.order!(self, &blk) end
