Getopt::Long::DescriptUser:Contributed Perl Getopt::Long::Descriptive::Opts(3)NAME
Getopt::Long::Descriptive::Opts - object representing command line
switches
VERSION
version 0.092
DESCRIPTION
This class is the base class of all $opt objects returned by
Getopt::Long::Descriptive. In general, you do not want to think about
this class, look at it, or alter it. Seriously, it's pretty dumb.
Every call to "describe_options" will return a object of a new subclass
of this class. It will have a method for the canonical name of each
option possible given the option specifications.
Method names beginning with an single underscore are public, and are
named that way to avoid conflict with automatically generated methods.
Methods with multiple underscores (in case you're reading the source)
are private.
METHODS
Achtung! All methods beginning with an underscore are experimental as
of today, 2009-12-12. They are likely to be formally made permanent
soon.
_specified
This method returns true if the given name was specified on the command
line.
For example, if @ARGS was ""--foo --bar 10"" and "baz" is defined by a
default, "_specified" will return true for foo and bar, and false for
baz.
_specified_opts
This method returns an opt object in which only explicitly specified
values are defined. Values which were set by defaults will appear
undef.
_complete_opts
This method returns the opts object with all values, including those
set by defaults. It is probably not going to be very often-used.
