Interface defining a command-line interface (in other words a command such as 'run', 'ls'...).
This interface is polyglot to ease reuse such as in Vert.x Shell.
A command line interface has a name, and defines a set of options and arguments. Options are key-value pair such as -foo=bar
or -flag
. The supported formats depend on the used parser. Arguments are unlike options raw values. Options are defined using Option
, while argument are defined using Argument
. Command line interfaces also define a summary and a description. These attributes are used in the usage generation . To disable the help generation, set the hidden
attribute to true
. Command Line Interface object does not contains "value", it's a model. It must be evaluated by a parser that returns a CommandLine
object containing the argument and option values. Author: Clement Escoffier See Also:
