NAME

Application::DoParseOptions - instance method

TEMPLATE

argsParsed = int DoParseOptions(char * option, char * nextArgument)

SPECIFIERS

public virtual

DESCRIPTION

DoParseOptions parses a command line option and returns the number of parsed arguments.
The method ParseCommandLine calls this method for every argument starting with "-". DoParseOptions processes the following options: -Ed, -Eb, -Ec, -Eh, -Em, -Ee, -EE, -Ew, -Ei, -Ep x,y.
This method must be overridden if the application should recognize additional command line options. If the complete command line should be interpreted differently then override the method ParseCommandLine. Method is sometimes overridden.

ARGUMENTS

char * option: a command line option starting with "-", f.i. "-Eb"
char * nextArgument: the next argument behind the option on the command line, f.i. if option is the 3rd argument then nextArgument contains the 4th argument. The nextArgument may be useful if option requires an additional argument.
The nextArgument can be NULL.

RETURN ARGUMENT

int argsParsed: the number of parsed arguments.
If the command line option uses only the option then it is 1. If nextArgument is also used then it is 2. If the option is unknown then 0 must be returned.
