| 1 | This is a Java port of the GNU getopt functions based on the versions
|
|---|
| 2 | contained in glibc 2.0.6. I have attempted to keep the functionality
|
|---|
| 3 | and programmer's interface as faithful to the original as possible.
|
|---|
| 4 | However, due to differences between Java and C, some minor changes
|
|---|
| 5 | has to me made. (Given the obtuse interface in the clib version,
|
|---|
| 6 | perhaps some major changes should have been made). This should not
|
|---|
| 7 | affect the way options appear to be parsed to the end user of program
|
|---|
| 8 | that uses this Java getopt. The use of these classes are completely
|
|---|
| 9 | documented in the javadoc comments, so I will not repeat that info here.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | Note that since these objects are part of a package called "gnu.getopt",
|
|---|
| 12 | they need to be in a subdirectory called gnu/getopt somewhere in your
|
|---|
| 13 | CLASSPATH. This includes the "MessagesBundle" files.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | I am not aware of any bugs. If you find one though, please send email
|
|---|
| 16 | to me at [email protected]. The more detailed a bug report the better.
|
|---|
| 17 | Bug fixes are also welcome at the same address. Please reference
|
|---|
| 18 | release number "1.0.7". If you use this code, it would be helpful
|
|---|
| 19 | if you let me know so that I can let you know if anything changes or
|
|---|
| 20 | if any major bugs have been found/fixed.
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | I have included a Makefile for compiling the code. If you do not have
|
|---|
| 23 | access to make, then you can simply do a "javac *.java" at the OS
|
|---|
| 24 | command line (or follow your vendor's instructions for compiling a
|
|---|
| 25 | Java class). To build the documentation, do a "make docs"
|
|---|
| 26 | or "javadoc -public *.java". Note that the images needed by the html
|
|---|
| 27 | generated by javadoc are not included. You will need to get those
|
|---|
| 28 | from some other Java documentation package.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | Note that the Makefile is not compliant with the GNU makefile
|
|---|
| 31 | standards as I anticipate that at some point a master makefile will
|
|---|
| 32 | be created for various GNU Java packages. And it is serious overkill
|
|---|
| 33 | to create a megabloat makefile (kinda like this megabloat README) for
|
|---|
| 34 | such a simple package.
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | There is sample code showing how to use getopt available in the
|
|---|
| 37 | GetoptDemo.java file.
|

|
|---|
| 39 | Happy hacking,
|
