|
|---|
| 4 | This module helps scripts to parse the command line arguments in
|
|---|
| 5 | sys.argv. It supports the same conventions as the Unix getopt()
|
|---|
| 6 | function (including the special meanings of arguments of the form `-'
|
|---|
| 7 | and `--'). Long options similar to those supported by GNU software
|
|---|
| 8 | may be used as well via an optional third argument. This module
|
|---|
| 9 | provides two functions and an exception:
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | getopt() -- Parse command line options
|
|---|
| 12 | gnu_getopt() -- Like getopt(), but allow option and non-option arguments
|
|---|
| 13 | to be intermixed.
|
|---|
| 14 | GetoptError -- exception (class) raised with 'opt' attribute, which is the
|
|---|
| 15 | option involved with the exception.
