Extra parser utilities

This module contains high-level functions to run parsers.

helper :: Parser (a -> a) Source #

A hidden "helper" option which always fails.

A common usage pattern is to apply this applicatively when creating a ParserInfo

opts :: ParserInfo Sample
opts = info (sample <**> helper) mempty

helperWith :: Mod OptionFields (a -> a) -> Parser (a -> a) Source #

Like helper, but with a minimal set of modifiers that can be extended as desired.

opts :: ParserInfo Sample
opts = info (sample <**> helperWith (mconcat [
         long "help",
         short 'h',
         help "Show this help text",
         hidden
       ])) mempty

hsubparser :: Mod CommandFields a -> Parser a Source #

Builder for a command parser with a "helper" option attached. Used in the same way as subparser, but includes a "--help|-h" inside the subcommand.

execParser :: ParserInfo a -> IO a Source #

Run a program description.

Parse command line arguments. Display help text and exit if any parse error occurs.

customExecParser :: ParserPrefs -> ParserInfo a -> IO a Source #

Run a program description with custom preferences.

execParserPure Source #

Arguments

:: ParserPrefs	Global preferences for this parser
-> ParserInfo a	Description of the program to run
-> [String]	Program arguments
-> ParserResult a

The most general way to run a program description in pure code.

getParseResult :: ParserResult a -> Maybe a Source #

Extract the actual result from a ParserResult value.

This function returns Nothing in case of errors. Possible error messages or completion actions are simply discarded.

If you want to display error messages and invoke completion actions appropriately, use handleParseResult instead.

handleParseResult :: ParserResult a -> IO a Source #

Handle ParserResult.

parserFailure :: ParserPrefs -> ParserInfo a -> ParseError -> [Context] -> ParserFailure ParserHelp Source #

Generate a ParserFailure from a ParseError in a given Context.

This function can be used, for example, to show the help text for a parser:

handleParseResult . Failure $ parserFailure pprefs pinfo ShowHelpText mempty

renderFailure :: ParserFailure ParserHelp -> String -> (String, ExitCode) Source #

Fields

prefMultiSuffix :: String
metavar suffix for multiple options
prefDisambiguate :: Bool
automatically disambiguate abbreviations (default: False)
prefShowHelpOnError :: Bool
always show help text on parse errors (default: False)
prefShowHelpOnEmpty :: Bool
show the help text for a command or subcommand if it fails with no input (default: False)
prefBacktrack :: Backtracking
backtrack to parent parser when a subcommand fails (default: Backtrack)
prefColumns :: Int
number of columns in the terminal, used to format the help page (default: 80)
prefHelpLongEquals :: Bool
when displaying long names in usage and help, use an '=' sign for long names, rather than a single space (default: False)
prefHelpShowGlobal :: Bool
when displaying subparsers' usage help, show parent options under a "global options" section (default: False)
prefTabulateFill :: Int
Indentation width for tables
