# A simple **OptionParser** class to parse option flags from the command-line. # Use it like so: # # parser = new OptionParser switches, helpBanner # options = parser.parse process.argv # # The first non-option is considered to be the start of the file (and file # option) list, and all subsequent arguments are left unparsed. exports.OptionParser = class OptionParser # Initialize with a list of valid options, in the form: # # [short-flag, long-flag, description] # # Along with an an optional banner for the usage help. constructor: (rules, @banner) -> @rules = buildRules rules # Parse the list of arguments, populating an `options` object with all of the # specified options, and returning it. `options.arguments` will be an array # containing the remaining non-option arguments. `options.literals` will be # an array of options that are meant to be passed through directly to the # executing script. This is a simpler API than many option parsers that allow # you to attach callback actions for every flag.
