pattern[R]

Guesses argument style from arg. Returns corresponding OptionParser::Switch class (OptionalArgument, etc.).

Public Instance Methods

summarize(sdone = {}, ldone = {}, width = 1, max = width - 1, indent = "") click to toggle source

Produces the summary text. Each line of the summary is yielded to the block (without newline).

sdone

Already summarized short style options keyed hash.

ldone

Already summarized long style options keyed hash.

width

Width of left side (option part). In other words, the right side (description part) starts after width columns.

max

Maximum width of left side -> the options are filled within max columns.

indent

Prefix string indents all summarized lines.

    if l.length < width and (r = right[0]) and !r.empty?
      l = l.to_s.ljust(width) + ' ' + r
      right.shift
    end
    yield(indent + l)
  end

  while begin l = left.shift; r = right.shift; l or r end
    l = l.to_s.ljust(width) + ' ' + r if r and !r.empty?
    yield(indent + l)
  end

  self
end
            
switch_name() click to toggle source

Main name of the switch.

 
               # File optparse.rb, line 654
def switch_name
  (long.first || short.first).sub(/\A-+(?:\[no-\])?/, '')
