Template option validator for OptionParser

Attributes
[RW] charset

Character-set for HTML output. encoding is preferred over charset

[RW] coverage_report

If true, only report on undocumented files

[RW] dry_run

If true, RDoc will not write any files.

[RW] encoding

Encoding of output where. This is set via –encoding.

[RW] exclude

Files matching this pattern will be excluded

[RW] files

The list of files to be processed

[RW] force_output

Create the output even if the output directory does not look like an rdoc output directory

[RW] force_update

Scan newer sources than the flag file if true.

[RW] formatter

Formatter to mark up text with

[RW] generator

Description of the output generator (set with the --fmt option)

[RW] generator_options

Loaded generator options. Used to prevent –help from loading the same options multiple times.

[RW] hyperlink_all

Old rdoc behavior: hyperlink all words that match a method name, even if not preceded by '#' or '::'

[RW] line_numbers

Include line numbers in the source code

[RW] main_page

Name of the file, class or module to display in the initial index page (if not specified the first file we encounter is used)

[RW] op_dir

The name of the output directory

[RW] option_parser

The OptionParser for this instance

[RW] pipe

Is RDoc in pipe mode?

[RW] rdoc_include

Array of directories to search for files to satisfy an :include:

[RW] show_hash

Include the '#' at the front of hyperlinked instance method names

[RW] tab_width

The number of columns in a tab

[RW] template

Template to be used when generating output

[RW] template_dir

Directory the template lives in

[RW] title

Documentation title

[RW] update_output_dir

Should RDoc update the timestamps in the output dir?

[RW] verbosity

Verbosity, zero means quiet

[RW] visibility

Minimum visibility of a documented method. One of :public, :protected, :private. May be overridden on a per-method basis with the :doc: directive.

[RW] webcvs

URL of web cvs frontend

Instance Public methods
check_files()

Check that the files on the command line exist

# File ../ruby/lib/rdoc/options.rb, line 212
def check_files
  @files.delete_if do |file|
    if File.exist? file then
      if File.readable? file then
        false
      else
        warn "file '#{file}' not readable"

        true
      end
    else
      warn "file '#{file}' not found"

      true
    end
  end
end
check_generator()

Ensure only one generator is loaded

# File ../ruby/lib/rdoc/options.rb, line 233
def check_generator
  if @generator then
    raise OptionParser::InvalidOption,
      "generator already set to #{@generator_name}"
  end
end
default_title=(string)

Set the title, but only if not already set. Used to set the title from a source file, so that a title set from the command line will have the priority.

# File ../ruby/lib/rdoc/options.rb, line 245
def default_title=(string)
  @title ||= string
end
finish()

Completes any unfinished option setup business such as filtering for existent files, creating a regexp for exclude and setting a default template.

# File ../ruby/lib/rdoc/options.rb, line 254
def finish
  @op_dir ||= 'doc'

  @rdoc_include << "." if @rdoc_include.empty?

  if @exclude.nil? or Regexp === @exclude then
    # done, #finish is being re-run
  elsif @exclude.empty? then
    @exclude = nil
  else
    @exclude = Regexp.new(@exclude.join("|"))
  end

  check_files

  # If no template was specified, use the default template for the output
  # formatter

  unless @template then
    @template     = @generator_name
    @template_dir = template_dir_for @template
  end

  self
end
generator_descriptions()

Returns a properly-space list of generators and their descriptions.

# File ../ruby/lib/rdoc/options.rb, line 283
def generator_descriptions
  lengths = []

  generators = RDoc::RDoc::GENERATORS.map do |name, generator|
    lengths << name.length

    description = generator::DESCRIPTION if
      generator.const_defined? :DESCRIPTION

    [name, description]
  end

  longest = lengths.max

  generators.sort.map do |name, description|
    if description then
      "  %-*s - %s" % [longest, name, description]
    else
      "  #{name}"
    end
  end.join "\n"
end
parse(argv)

Parses command line options.

# File ../ruby/lib/rdoc/options.rb, line 309
  def parse(argv)
    ignore_invalid = true

    argv.insert(0, *ENV['RDOCOPT'].split) if ENV['RDOCOPT']

    opts = OptionParser.new do |opt|
      @option_parser = opt
      opt.program_name = File.basename $0
      opt.version = RDoc::VERSION
      opt.release = nil
      opt.summary_indent = ' ' * 4
      opt.banner = <<-EOF
Usage: #{opt.program_name} [options] [names...]

  Files are parsed, and the information they contain collected, before any
  output is produced. This allows cross references between all files to be
  resolved. If a name is a directory, it is traversed. If no names are
  specified, all Ruby files in the current directory (and subdirectories) are
  processed.

  How RDoc generates output depends on the output formatter being used, and on
  the options you give.

  Options can be specified via the RDOCOPT environment variable, which
  functions similar to the RUBYOPT environment variable for ruby.

    $ export RDOCOPT="--show-hash"

  will make rdoc show hashes in method links by default.  Command-line options
  always will override those in RDOCOPT.

  Available formatters:

#{generator_descriptions}

  RDoc understands the following file formats:

      EOF

      parsers = Hash.new { |h,parser| h[parser] = [] }

      RDoc::Parser.parsers.each do |regexp, parser|
        parsers[parser.name.sub('RDoc::Parser::', '')] << regexp.source
      end

      parsers.sort.each do |parser, regexp|
        opt.banner << "  - #{parser}: #{regexp.join ', '}\n"
      end

      opt.banner << "\n  The following options are deprecated:\n\n"

      name_length = DEPRECATED.keys.sort_by { |k| k.length }.last.length

      DEPRECATED.sort_by { |k,| k }.each do |name, reason|
        opt.banner << "    %*1$2$s  %3$s\n" % [-name_length, name, reason]
