<p>Welcome to the Cmdr project, written by Andreas Kupries.</p>
<p>For availability please read <i class="term"><a href="cmdr_howto_get_sources.html">Cmdr - How To Get The Sources</a></i>.</p>
<p>This is the main package of the framework, its public entry point.
It provides four commands for setup and configuration of command
hierarchies.</p>
</div>
<div id="section2" class="section"><h2><a name="section2">API</a></h2>
<dl class="definitions">
<dt><a name="1"><b class="cmd">::cmdr</b> <b class="method">new</b> <i class="arg">name</i> <i class="arg">specification</i></a></dt>
<dd><p>This command creates an automatically-named officer instance which is
the root of the command hierarchy given in the <i class="arg">specification</i>,
and has the user-visible command <i class="arg">name</i>.</p>
<p>The result of the command is the new instance command.</p></dd>
<dt><a name="2"><b class="cmd">::cmdr</b> <b class="method">create</b> <i class="arg">obj</i> <i class="arg">name</i> <i class="arg">specification</i></a></dt>
<dd><p>This command creates the officer instance <i class="arg">obj</i> which is the root
of the command hierarchy given in the <i class="arg">specification</i>, and has the
user-visible command <i class="arg">name</i>.</p>
<p>The result of the command is the new instance command.</p>
<dl class="arguments">
<dt>string <i class="arg">name</i></dt>
<dd><p>The user-visible name of the command (hierarchy).</p></dd>
<dt>script <i class="arg">actions</i></dt>
<dd><p>The specification of the subordinate commands. On the command line
these are the toplevel commands of the application using the
hierarchy. Please read <i class="term"><a href="cmdr_dsl_officer.html">Cmdr - Officer Specification Language</a></i> for the
details.</p></dd>
</dl></dd>
<dt><a name="3"><b class="cmd">::cmdr</b> <b class="method">interactive</b> <span class="opt">?<i class="arg">enable</i>?</span></a></dt>
<dd><p>This command globally (de)activates the interactive parts of the
framework, as per the value of <i class="arg">enable</i>.</p>
<p>By default (initial state) the framework allows interaction.</p>
<dl class="arguments">
<dt>boolean <i class="arg">enable</i></dt>
<dd><p>If not specified defaults to <b class="const">true</b>, globally enabling the
interactive parts of the framework. The value <b class="const">false</b> globally
disables the interactive parts of the framework</p></dd>
</dl></dd>
<dt><a name="4"><b class="cmd">::cmdr</b> <b class="method">interactive?</b></a></dt>
<dd><p>This method returns the state of the global interaction flag.</p></dd>
