# shFlags -- Advanced command-line flag library for Unix shell scripts.
# http://code.google.com/p/shflags/
#
# Author: kate.ward@forestent.com (Kate Ward)
#
# This module implements something like the google-gflags library available
# from http://code.google.com/p/google-gflags/.
#
# FLAG TYPES: This is a list of the DEFINE_*'s that you can do.  All flags take
# a name, default value, help-string, and optional 'short' name (one-letter
# name).  Some flags have other arguments, which are described with the flag.
#
# DEFINE_string: takes any input, and intreprets it as a string.
#
# DEFINE_boolean: typically does not take any argument: say --myflag to set
#   FLAGS_myflag to true, or --nomyflag to set FLAGS_myflag to false.
#   Alternately, you can say
#     --myflag=true  or --myflag=t or --myflag=0  or
#     --myflag=false or --myflag=f or --myflag=1
#   Passing an option has the same affect as passing the option once.
#
# DEFINE_float: takes an input and intreprets it as a floating point number. As
#   shell does not support floats per-se, the input is merely validated as
#   being a valid floating point value.
#
# DEFINE_integer: takes an input and intreprets it as an integer.
#
# SPECIAL FLAGS: There are a few flags that have special meaning:
#   --help (or -?)  prints a list of all the flags in a human-readable fashion
#   --flagfile=foo  read flags from foo.  (not implemented yet)
#   --              as in getopt(), terminates flag-processing
#
# EXAMPLE USAGE:
#
#   -- begin hello.sh --
#   #! /bin/sh
#   . ./shflags
#   DEFINE_string name 'world' "somebody's name" n
#   FLAGS "$@" || exit $?
#   eval set -- "${FLAGS_ARGV}"
#   echo "Hello, ${FLAGS_name}."
#   -- end hello.sh --
#
#   $ ./hello.sh -n Kate
#   Hello, Kate.
#
# NOTE: Not all systems include a getopt version that supports long flags. On
# these systems, only short flags are recognized.

# A basic boolean flag. Boolean flags do not take any arguments, and their
# value is either 1 (false) or 0 (true). For long flags, the false value is
# specified on the command line by prepending the word 'no'. With short flags,
# the presense of the flag toggles the current value between true and false.
# Specifying a short boolean flag twice on the command results in returning the
# value back to the default value.
#
# A default value is required for boolean flags.
#
# For example, lets say a Boolean flag was created whose long name was 'update'
# and whose short name was 'x', and the default value was 'false'. This flag
# could be explicitly set to 'true' with '--update' or by '-x', and it could be
# explicitly set to 'false' with '--noupdate'.
