    • Method Detail

      • hasOptions

        public boolean hasOptions()
        Tells whether any options were detected.
        Returns:
        true if any options were detected
      • has

        public boolean has​(String option)
        Tells whether the given option was detected.
        Parameters:
        option - the option to search for
        Returns:
        true if the option was detected
        See Also:
        has(OptionSpec)
      • has

        public boolean has​(OptionSpec<?> option)
        Tells whether the given option was detected.

        This method recognizes only instances of options returned from the fluent interface methods.

        Specifying a ArgumentAcceptingOptionSpec.defaultsTo(Object, Object[]) default argument value} for an option does not cause this method to return true if the option was not detected on the command line.

        Parameters:
        option - the option to search for
        Returns:
        true if the option was detected
        See Also:
        has(String)
      • hasArgument

        public boolean hasArgument​(String option)
        Tells whether there are any arguments associated with the given option.
        Parameters:
        option - the option to search for
        Returns:
        true if the option was detected and at least one argument was detected for the option
        See Also:
        hasArgument(OptionSpec)
      • hasArgument

        public boolean hasArgument​(OptionSpec<?> option)
        Tells whether there are any arguments associated with the given option.

        This method recognizes only instances of options returned from the fluent interface methods.

        Specifying a default argument value for an option does not cause this method to return true if the option was not detected on the command line, or if the option can take an optional argument but did not have one on the command line.

        Parameters:
        option - the option to search for
        Returns:
        true if the option was detected and at least one argument was detected for the option
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if option is null
        See Also:
        hasArgument(String)
      • valueOf

        public Object valueOf​(String option)
        Gives the argument associated with the given option. If the option was given an argument type, the argument will take on that type; otherwise, it will be a String.

        Specifying a default argument value for an option will cause this method to return that default value even if the option was not detected on the command line, or if the option can take an optional argument but did not have one on the command line.

        Parameters:
        option - the option to search for
        Returns:
        the argument of the given option; null if no argument is present, or that option was not detected
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if option is null
        OptionException - if more than one argument was detected for the option
      • valueOf

        public <V> V valueOf​(OptionSpec<V> option)
        Gives the argument associated with the given option.

        This method recognizes only instances of options returned from the fluent interface methods.

        Type Parameters:
        V - represents the type of the arguments the given option accepts
        Parameters:
        option - the option to search for
        Returns:
        the argument of the given option; null if no argument is present, or that option was not detected
        Throws:
        OptionException - if more than one argument was detected for the option
        NullPointerException - if option is null
        ClassCastException - if the arguments of this option are not of the expected type
      • valuesOf

        public List<?> valuesOf​(String option)

        Gives any arguments associated with the given option. If the option was given an argument type, the arguments will take on that type; otherwise, they will be Strings.

        Parameters:
        option - the option to search for
        Returns:
        the arguments associated with the option, as a list of objects of the type given to the arguments; an empty list if no such arguments are present, or if the option was not detected
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if option is null
      • valuesOf

        public <V> List<V> valuesOf​(OptionSpec<V> option)

        Gives any arguments associated with the given option. If the option was given an argument type, the arguments will take on that type; otherwise, they will be Strings.

        This method recognizes only instances of options returned from the fluent interface methods.

        Type Parameters:
        V - represents the type of the arguments the given option accepts
        Parameters:
        option - the option to search for
        Returns:
        the arguments associated with the option; an empty list if no such arguments are present, or if the option was not detected
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if option is null
        OptionException - if there is a problem converting the option's arguments to the desired type; for example, if the type does not implement a correct conversion constructor or method
      • specs

        public List<OptionSpec<?>> specs()
        Gives the set of options that were detected, in the form of OptionSpecs, in the order in which the options were found on the command line.
        Returns:
        the set of detected command line options
      • asMap

        public Map<OptionSpec<?>,​List<?>> asMap()
        Gives all declared options as a map of string to OptionSpec.
        Returns:
        the declared options as a map
      • nonOptionArguments

        public List<?> nonOptionArguments()
        Returns:
        the detected non-option arguments
      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
