It takes exactly one argument, a parser. The parser is a dictionary. It can contain these fields: - usage - a usage string. - prog - a program name. - error_cb - a callback that is called when parsing fails. - done_cb - a callback that is called when it's done parsing. - args - the arguments. - descs - argument descriptions. In case of errors, this function returns nil and an error message. You can also handle any error from the error callback of course. Usage string is an arbitrary string that can contain a sequence "%prog". This sequence is replaced with program name. Program name can be explicitly specified here. If it's not, it's retrieved from "args" as zeroth index. If that is nil, "program" is used. Error callback is called on errors right before this function returns. It returns no values. It takes the parser and an error message as arguments. Done callack is called on success right before this function returns. It takes the parser, optionala rguments and positional arguments. Arguments ("args") is an array with zeroth index optionally specifying program name. It contains strings, similarly to "argv" in other languages. Descriptions (descs) is an array of tables, each table being an argument description. -- RETURN VALUES -- --- OPTIONAL ARGS --- The returned optional arguments is a mixed table. It contains mappings from argument names (without prefix) to values. The argument name here is in this order: alias, short name, long name. The meaning of aliases is described below. This also means that any given argument has one key only. If a value is not given (optional or doesn't take it) it's the boolean value "true" instead. If it is given, it's either the string value or whatever a callback returns (see below). It also contains array elements as the order of given arguments goes. Those array elements have this layout: { optn, short = shortn, long = longn, alias = aliasn, val = stringval, ... } "optn" refers to the same name as above (in order alias, short, long). "shortn" refers to the short name given in the description. "longn" refers to the long name given in the description. "alias" refers to the optional alias. "val" is the string value that was given, if given. This is then followed by zero or more values which are return values of either option callback (see below) or the string value or nothing. --- POSITIONAL ARGS --- The returned positional arguments is a simple array of strings. -- DESCRIPTIONS -- The most important part of the parser is descriptions. It describes what kind of arguments can be given and also describes categories for the help listing. A description is represented by a table. The table has this layout: { shortn, longn, optional, help = helpmsg, metavar = metavar, alias = alias, callback = retcb, list = list, max_count = max_count } "shortn" refers to the short name. For example if you want your argument to be specifeable as "-x", you use "x". "longn" here refers to the long name. For "--help", it's "help". "optional" refers to whether it is required to specify value of the argument. The boolean value "true" means that a value is always needed. The value "false" means that the value can never be given. The value "nil" means that the value is optional. "help" refers to the description of the parameter in help listing. The field "metavar" specifies the string under which the value field will be displayed in help listing (see the documentation for "help"). The field "alias" can be used to specify an alias under which the value/argument will be known in the returned optional arguments (i.e. opts[alias]). It's fully optional, see above in "optional args". The field "callback" can be used to specify a function that takes the description, the parser and the string value and returns one or more values. Those values will then be present in optional args. When multiple values are returned from such callback, the mapping opts[n] will get you an array of these values. The field "list" can be used to specify a value into which values will be appended. When you pass such parameter to your application multiple times, the list will contain all the values provided. The mapping opts[n] will refer to the list rather than the last value given like without list. The field "max_count" can be used to specify a limit on how many arguments can be provided. Its implicit value is 1, unless a list is provided, in which case it's -1 (which is a value for infinity here). A description can also be used to specify a category, purely for help listing purposes: { category = "catname", alias = alias } The alias here refers to a name by which the category can be referred to when printing help. Useful when your category name is long and contains spaces and you want a simple "--help=mycat". ]] M.parse = function(parser) local ret, opts, args = pcall(getopt_u, parser) if not ret then if parser.error_cb then parser:error_cb(opts) end return nil, opts end if parser.done_cb then parser:done_cb(opts, args) end return opts, args, parser end local parse = M.parse local repl_prog = function(str, progn) return (sgsub(sgsub(str, "%f[%%]%%prog", progn), "%%%%prog", "%%prog")) end local buf_write = function(self, ...) local vs = { ... } for i, v in ipairs(vs) do self[#self + 1] = v end end local get_metavar = function(desc) local mv = desc.metavar if not mv and (desc[3] or desc[3] == nil) then mv = desc[2] and supper(desc[2]) or "VAL" elseif desc[3] == false then mv = nil end return mv end local help = function(parser, f, category) local usage = parser.usage local progn = parser.prog or (parser.args or arg)[0] or "program" if usage then usage = repl_prog(usage, progn) else usage = sformat("Usage: %s [OPTIONS]", progn) end local buf = { write = buf_write } buf:write(usage, "\n") if parser.header then buf:write("\n", repl_prog(parser.header, progn), "\n") end local nignore = 0 for i, desc in ipairs(parser.descs) do if desc.help == false then nignore = nignore + 1 end end if #parser.descs > nignore then local ohdr = parser.optheader buf:write("\n", ohdr and repl_prog(ohdr, progn) or "The following options are supported:", "\n\n") local lls = 0 for i, desc in ipairs(parser.descs) do if desc.help ~= false and desc[1] then local mv = get_metavar(desc) if mv then lls = math.max(lls, #mv + ((desc[3] == nil) and 5 or 4)) else lls = math.max(lls, 2) end end end local lns = {} local lln = 0 local iscat = false local wascat = false for i, desc in ipairs(parser.descs) do local nign = desc.help ~= false if nign and (not category or iscat) and (desc[1] or desc[2] or desc.metavar) then local mv = get_metavar(desc) local ln = {} ln[#ln + 1] = " " if desc[1] then ln[#ln + 1] = "-" .. desc[1] if mv then ln[#ln + 1] = (desc[3] and "[" or "[?") .. mv ..

Keep in mind that if the second argument is given and it's not a string, it's considered to be the file stream (without category being specified). The help uses this format: --------------
