Detailed Description

The command line argument parser used by the main ARGoS executable.

If you plan to write your own main.cpp file, and want to keep the same command line arguments, use this class.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetAction()

EAction argos::CARGoSCommandLineArgParser::GetAction ( )
inline

Returns the action parsed by Parse().

Returns
The action parsed by Parse().

Parse()

Definition at line 87 of file argos_command_line_arg_parser.h.

◆ GetExperimentConfigFile()

const std::string& argos::CARGoSCommandLineArgParser::GetExperimentConfigFile ( )
inline

Returns the experiment configuration file as parsed by Parse().

The returned value is meaningful only if GetAction() returns ACTION_RUN_EXPERIMENT.

Returns

◆ GetQuery()

const std::string& argos::CARGoSCommandLineArgParser::GetQuery ( )
inline

Returns the query on the plugins as parsed by Parse().

The returned value is meaningful only if GetAction() returns ACTION_QUERY.

Returns
The query on the plugins as parsed by Parse().

Definition at line 107 of file argos_command_line_arg_parser.h.

◆ IsHelpWanted()

bool argos::CARGoSCommandLineArgParser::IsHelpWanted ( )
inline

Returns true if color if a help message must be displayed.

Help maybe be necessary either in case of parsing error, or because the –help</t> argument was passed on the command line.

Definition at line 128 of file argos_command_line_arg_parser.h.

◆ IsLogColored()

bool argos::CARGoSCommandLineArgParser::IsLogColored ( )
inline

Returns true if color is enabled for LOG and LOGERR.

◆ Parse()

void argos::CARGoSCommandLineArgParser::Parse ( SInt32  n_argc,
char **  ppch_argv 
)
virtual

Parses the command line.

In parsing is successful, it sets m_eAction to the action to perform, along with the relevant operands.

Parameters
n_argcThe number of command line arguments.
ppch_argvAn array of C-style strings containing the arguments.
Exceptions
CARGoSExceptionif a parse error occurs.

◆ PrintUsage()

void argos::CARGoSCommandLineArgParser::PrintUsage ( CARGoSLog c_log)
virtual

Prints usage information to the wanted log.

Parameters
c_logThe output log (LOG or LOGERR)
