MGR.CommandLineParser is a multi-command line parser library.
It provides an extensible mechanism to provide define commands
(with multiple out-of-the-box providers)
and is able to automatically generate help/usage output for all commands.
Built-in providers lets you define command by:
- creating classes that implements
MGR.CommandLineParser.Command.ICommandHandlerfor the logic of your command andMGR.CommandLineParser.Command.CommandDatafor the data associated to the command, or inheritsMGR.CommandLineParser.Command.CommandBase(provides some basic behavior for commands like support of--helpoption) - dynamically defining a command that uses a lambda as execution (via the package `MGR.CommandLineParser.Command.Lambda)
The general syntax on the command line is:
<commandName> <options> <arguments>
Options can be specified by their normal/long form (--full-option)
or with its short form (-fo).
The value of the option can be separated of the name of the option
by a space ( ) or a colon (:).
Arguments is a list of non-option string that is passed to the command.
There is also some ways to customize others parts of the parser:
- how to display information to the user: the
IConsoleinterface - how the value of the options are converted: the
IConverterinterface
This library use dependency injection to retrieve the implementation of all this service, so you just have to register your own implementation to override/augment the default behavior.
