- =head1 NAME
-
- Tk::CmdLine - Process standard X11 command line options and set initial resources
-
- =for pm Tk/CmdLine.pm
-
- =for category Creating and Configuring Widgets
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- Tk::CmdLine::SetArguments([@argument]);
-
- my $value = Tk::CmdLine::cget([$option]);
-
- Tk::CmdLine::SetResources((\@resource | $resource) [, $priority]);
-
- Tk::CmdLine::LoadResources(
- [ -symbol => $symbol ]
- [ -file => $fileSpec ]
- [ -priority => $priority ]
- [ -echo => $fileHandle ] );
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- Process standard X11 command line options and set initial resources.
-
- The X11R5 man page for X11 says: "Most X programs attempt to use the same names
- for command line options and arguments. All applications written with the
- X Toolkit Intrinsics automatically accept the following options: ...".
- This module processes these command line options for perl/Tk applications
- using the C<SetArguments>() function.
-
- This module can optionally be used to load initial resources explicitly via
- function C<SetResources>(), or from specified files (default: the standard X11
- application-specific resource files) via function C<LoadResources>().
-
- =head2 Command Line Options
-
- =over 4
-
- =item B<-background> I<Color> | B<-bg> I<Color>
-
- Specifies the color to be used for the window background.
-
- =item B<-class> I<Class>
-
- Specifies the class under which resources for the application should be found.
- This option is useful in shell aliases to distinguish between invocations
- of an application, without resorting to creating links to alter the executable
- file name.
-
- =item B<-display> I<Display> | B<-screen> I<Display>
-
- Specifies the name of the X server to be used.
-
- =item B<-font> I<Font> | B<-fn> I<Font>
-
- Specifies the font to be used for displaying text.
-
- =item B<-foreground> I<Color> | B<-fg> I<Color>
-
- Specifies the color to be used for text or graphics.
-
- =item B<-geometry> I<Geometry>
-
- Specifies the initial size and location of the I<first>
- L<MainWindow|Tk::MainWindow>.
-
- =item B<-iconic>
-
- Indicates that the user would prefer that the application's windows initially
- not be visible as if the windows had been immediately iconified by the user.
- Window managers may choose not to honor the application's request.
-
- =item B<-motif>
-
- Specifies that the application should adhere as closely as possible to Motif
- look-and-feel standards. For example, active elements such as buttons and
- scrollbar sliders will not change color when the pointer passes over them.
-
- =item B<-name> I<Name>
-
- Specifies the name under which resources for the application should be found.
- This option is useful in shell aliases to distinguish between invocations
- of an application, without resorting to creating links to alter the executable
- file name.
-
- =item B<-synchronous>
-
- Indicates that requests to the X server should be sent synchronously, instead of
- asynchronously. Since Xlib normally buffers requests to the server, errors do
- do not necessarily get reported immediately after they occur. This option turns
- off the buffering so that the application can be debugged. It should never
- be used with a working program.
-
- =item B<-title> I<TitleString>
-
- This option specifies the title to be used for this window. This information is
- sometimes used by a window manager to provide some sort of header identifying
- the window.
-
- =item B<-xrm> I<ResourceString>
-
- Specifies a resource pattern and value to override any defaults. It is also
- very useful for setting resources that do not have explicit command line
- arguments.
-
- The I<ResourceString> is of the form E<lt>I<pattern>E<gt>:E<lt>I<value>E<gt>,
- that is (the first) ':' is used to determine which part is pattern and which
- part is value. The (E<lt>I<pattern>E<gt>, E<lt>I<value>E<gt>) pair is entered
- into the options database with B<optionAdd> (for each
- L<MainWindow|Tk::MainWindow> configured), with I<interactive> priority.
-
- =back
-
- =head2 Initial Resources
-
- There are several mechanism for initializing the resource database to be used
- by an X11 application. Resources may be defined in a $C<HOME>/.Xdefaults file,
- a system application defaults file (e.g.
- /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/E<lt>B<CLASS>E<gt>),
- or a user application defaults file (e.g. $C<HOME>/E<lt>B<CLASS>E<gt>).
- The Tk::CmdLine functionality for setting initial resources concerns itself
- with the latter two.
-
- Resource files contain data lines of the form
- E<lt>I<pattern>E<gt>:E<lt>I<value>E<gt>.
- They may also contain blank lines and comment lines (denoted
- by a ! character as the first non-blank character). Refer to L<option|Tk::option>
- for a description of E<lt>I<pattern>E<gt>:E<lt>I<value>E<gt>.
-
- =over 4
-
- =item System Application Defaults Files
-
- System application defaults files may be specified via environment variable
- $C<XFILESEARCHPATH> which, if set, contains a list of file patterns
- (joined using the OS-dependent path delimiter, e.g. colon on B<UNIX>).
-
- =item User Application Defaults Files
-
- User application defaults files may be specified via environment variables
- $C<XUSERFILESEARCHPATH>, $C<XAPPLRESDIR> or $C<HOME>.

- =head1 METHODS
-
- =over 4
-
- =item B<SetArguments> - Tk::CmdLine::SetArguments([@argument])
-
- Extract the X11 options contained in a specified array (@ARGV by default).
-
- Tk::CmdLine::SetArguments([@argument])
-
- The X11 options may be specified using a single dash I<-> as per the X11
- convention, or using two dashes I<--> as per the POSIX standard (e.g.
- B<-geometry> I<100x100>, B<-geometry> I<100x100> or B<-geometry=>I<100x100>).
- The options may be interspersed with other options or arguments.
- A I<--> by itself terminates option processing.
-
- By default, command line options are extracted from @ARGV the first time
- a MainWindow is created. The Tk::MainWindow constructor indirectly invokes
- C<SetArguments>() to do this.
-
- =item B<GetArguments> - Tk::CmdLine::GetArguments()
-
- Get a list of the X11 options that have been processed by C<SetArguments>().
- (C<GetArguments>() first invokes C<SetArguments>() if it has not already been invoked.)
-
- =item B<cget> - Tk::CmdLine::cget([$option])
-
- Get the value of a configuration option specified via C<SetArguments>().
- (C<cget>() first invokes C<SetArguments>() if it has not already been invoked.)
-
- Tk::CmdLine::cget([$option])
-
- The valid options are: B<-class>, B<-name>, B<-screen> and B<-title>.
- If no option is specified, B<-class> is implied.
-
- A typical use of C<cget>() might be to obtain the application class in order
- to define the name of a resource file to be loaded in via C<LoadResources>().
-
- my $class = Tk::CmdLine::cget(); # process command line and return class
-
- =item B<SetResources> - Tk::CmdLine::SetResources((\@resource | $resource) [, $priority])
-
- Set the initial resources.
-
- Tk::CmdLine::SetResources((\@resource | $resource) [, $priority])
-
- A single resource may be specified using a string of the form
- 'E<lt>I<pattern>E<gt>:E<lt>I<value>E<gt>'. Multiple resources may be specified
- by passing an array reference whose elements are either strings of the above
- form, and/or anonymous arrays of the form [ E<lt>I<pattern>E<gt>,
- E<lt>I<value>E<gt> ]. The optional second argument specifies the priority,
- as defined in L<option|Tk::option>, to be associated with the resources
- (default: I<userDefault>).
-
- Note that C<SetResources>() first invokes C<SetArguments>() if it has not already
- been invoked.
-
- =item B<LoadResources> - Tk::CmdLine::LoadResources([%options])
-
- Load initial resources from one or more files.
-
- Tk::CmdLine::LoadResources(
- [ -symbol => $symbol ]
- [ -file => $fileSpec ]
- [ -priority => $priority ]
- [ -echo => $fileHandle ] );
-
- [ B<-symbol> =E<gt> $symbol ] specifies the name of an environment variable
- that, if set, defines a list of one or more directories and/or file patterns
- (joined using the OS-dependent path delimiter, e.g. colon on B<UNIX>).
- $C<XUSERFILESEARCHPATH> is a special case.
- If $C<XUSERFILESEARCHPATH> is not set, $C<XAPPLRESDIR> is checked instead.
- If $C<XAPPLRESDIR> is not set, $C<HOME> is checked instead.
-
- An item is identified as a file pattern if it contains one or more /%[A-Za-z]/
- patterns. Only patterns B<%L>, B<%T> and B<%N> are currently recognized. All
- others are replaced with the null string. Pattern B<%L> is translated into
- $C<LANG>. Pattern B<%T> is translated into I<app-defaults>. Pattern B<%N> is
- translated into the application class name.
-
- Each file pattern, after substitutions are applied, is assumed to define a
- FileSpec to be examined.
-
- When a directory is specified, FileSpecs
- E<lt>B<DIRECTORY>E<gt>/E<lt>B<LANG>E<gt>/E<lt>B<CLASS>E<gt>
- and E<lt>B<DIRECTORY>E<gt>/E<lt>B<CLASS>E<gt> are defined, in that order.
-
- [ B<-file> =E<gt> $fileSpec ] specifies a resource file to be loaded in.
- The file is silently skipped if if does not exist, or if it is not readable.
-
- [ B<-priority> =E<gt> $priority ] specifies the priority, as defined in
- L<option|Tk::option>, to be associated with the resources
- (default: I<userDefault>).
-
- [ B<-echo> =E<gt> $fileHandle ] may be used to specify that a line should be
- printed to the corresponding FileHandle (default: \*STDOUT) everytime a file
- is examined / loaded.
-
- If no B<-symbol> or B<-file> options are specified, C<LoadResources>()
- processes symbol $C<XFILESEARCHPATH> with priority I<startupFile> and
- $C<XUSERFILESEARCHPATH> with priority I<userDefault>.
- (Note that $C<XFILESEARCHPATH> and $C<XUSERFILESEARCHPATH> are supposed to
- contain only patterns. $C<XAPPLRESDIR> and $C<HOME> are supposed to be a single
- directory. C<LoadResources>() does not check/care whether this is the case.)
-
- For each set of FileSpecs, C<LoadResources>() examines each FileSpec to
- determine if the file exists and is readable. The first file that meets this
- criteria is read in and C<SetResources>() is invoked.
-
- Note that C<LoadResources>() first invokes C<SetArguments>() if it has not already
- been invoked.

- =head1 NOTES
-
- This module is an object-oriented module whose methods can be invoked as object
- methods, class methods or regular functions. This is accomplished via an
- internally-maintained object reference which is created as necessary, and which
- always points to the last object used. C<SetArguments>(), C<SetResources>() and
- C<LoadResources>() return the object reference.

- =item 1
-
- @ARGV is processed by Tk::CmdLine at MainWindow creation.
-
- use Tk;

-
- @ARGV is processed by Tk::CmdLine before MainWindow creation.
- An @ARGV of (--geometry=100x100 -opt1 a b c -bg red)
- is equal to (-opt1 a b c) after C<SetArguments>() is invoked.
-
- use Tk;
-
- Tk::CmdLine::SetArguments(); # Tk::CmdLine->SetArguments() works too

-
- 1999.03.04 Ben Pavon E<lt>ben.pavon@hsc.hac.comE<gt>
-
- Rewritten as an object-oriented module.
-
- Allow one to process command line options in a specified array (@ARGV by default).
- Eliminate restrictions on the format and location of the options within the array
- (previously the X11 options could not be specified in POSIX format and had to be
- at the beginning of the array).
-
- Added the C<SetResources>() and C<LoadResources>() functions to allow the definition
- of resources prior to MainWindow creation.
-
- =item *
-
- 2000.08.31 Ben Pavon E<lt>ben.pavon@hsc.hac.comE<gt>
-
- Added the C<GetArguments>() method which returns the list of arguments that
- have been processed by C<SetArguments>().
-
- Modified C<LoadResources>() to split the symbols using the OS-dependent
- path delimiter defined in the B<Config> module.
-
- Modified C<LoadResources>() to eliminate a warning message when processing
- patterns B<%l>, B<%C>, B<%S>.
