;; @module getopts.lsp
;; @description Parse short and long command line options according to POSIX rules
;; @version 1.0 initial release
;; @author Ted Walther, July 2011
;;
;; POSIX options come in 4 types; long and short, with or without an extra argument.
;;
;; Short options are just a single letter with a <tt>-</tt> in front. '-a -v -h' are single options. Short options can be collapsed together. '-a -v -h' is the same thing as '-avh'
;;
;; A short option that takes an argument can take the following two forms: '-fmyletter.txt' is the same as '-f myletter.txt'
;;
;; Long options start with '--'. '--quiet' and '--help' are good examples.
;;
;; A long option that takes an argument can be in the following two forms: '--file=myletter.txt' is the same as '--file myletter.txt'
;;
;; Here is an example of how to use this module. It includes a bunch of standard options that every GNU program should support.
;;
;; @example
;;
;; (module "getopts.lsp")
;;
;; (setq version-string "Version: 1.0 (2011)")
;;
;; (shortopt "V" (getopts:die version-string) nil "Print version string")
;; (shortopt "v" (++ verbosity) nil "Increase verbosity")
;; (shortopt "q" (setq verbosity 0) nil "Quiet")
;; (shortopt "?" (getopts:usage) nil "Print this help message")
;; (shortopt "h" (getopts:usage) nil "Print this help message")
;; (shortopt "o" (setq output-file getopts:arg) "file" "Output file")
;; (longopt "help" (getopts:usage) nil "Print this help message")
;; (longopt "quiet" (setq verbosity 0) nil "Quiet")
;; (longopt "verbose" (++ verbosity) nil)
;; (longopt "version" (getopts:die version-string) nil "Print version string")
;; (longopt "output" (setq output-file getopts:arg) "file" "Output file")
;;
;; (println (main-args))
;; (println (getopts (2 (main-args))))
;; (println "Verbosity: " verbosity)
;; (println "Output To: " output-file)
;; (exit)
;; @syntax (shortopt <opt> <action> <arg?> <desc>)
;; @param <opt> The single letter option
;; @param <action> The code to execute when the option is found
;; @param <arg?> 'nil' if the option doesn't take an argument, otherwise a string that describes the type of argument the option takes.
;; @param <desc> A string that describes the option. This is used by the 'usage' function.
;; @example
;; (shortopt "o" (setq output-file getopts:arg) "file" "Output file")
;; ...
;; $ ./myscript.lsp -ofoo.txt -q
;; $ ./myscript.lsp -qofoo.txt
;; $ ./myscript.lsp -o foo.txt -q
;; $ ./myscript.lsp -qo foo.txt

(push (list opt (list action arg? (or desc ""))) getopts:short)))
;; @syntax (longopt <opt> <action> <arg?> <desc>)
;; @param <opt> The long option
;; @param <action> The code to execute when the option is found
;; @param <arg?> 'nil' if the option doesn't take an argument, otherwise a string that describes the type of argument the option takes.
;; @param <desc> A string that describes the option. This is used by the 'usage' function.
;; @example
;; (longopt "output" (setq output-file getopts:arg) "file" "Output file")
;; ...
;; $ ./myscript.lsp --output=foo.txt --quiet
;; $ ./myscript.lsp --verbose --output foo.txt

(setf (assoc opt getopts:long) (list opt (list action arg? (or desc ""))))
(push (list opt (list action arg? (or desc ""))) getopts:long)))
;; @syntax getopts:arg
;;
;; The variable <getopts:arg> holds the argument to the option, for those options
;; which take an argument. This is useful inside the <action> code, so you can make
;; use of the argument. For instance, '--prefix=/usr/bin' on the command line, would
;; leave the value '/usr/bin' in <getopts:arg>, and your <action> code could store the
;; value or act on it in some other way.
