| Description: |
>From "Melissa Chawla" <[email protected]> I've added 2 new procedures to the tcllib/cmdline package: The getKnownOpt and getKnownOptions procedures offer a way for options that are not in the optionList to be ignored. This way, you can have two independant locations in your application where commandline arguments are parsed. I bumped the package version to 1.2. If I pass the args "-foo x -bar a b c -debug 1, where -bar is not in the options list, then "-bar a b c" will remain in argv without causing a problem. The reason I need this feature is that when I start TclHttpd, it checks the commandline options and throws an error if there are options that it doesn't know about. But I've deliberately added options that my customized web server libraries will look at, and until now, I had no "nice" way to pass those options through the TclHttpd option check to my application. My patch includes tests as well as improved documentation (in the code) throughout the package. | |||
