-- Hoogle documentation, generated by Haddock -- See Hoogle, http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ -- | Command line flag parser, very similar to Google's gflags -- -- The HFlags library supports easy definition of command line -- flags, reimplementing the ideas from Google's gflags -- (http://code.google.com/p/gflags). -- -- Command line flags can be declared in any file at the toplevel, using -- defineFlag. At runtime, the actual values are assigned to the -- toplevel flags_name constants.

Useful for flags where the type is not an -- instance of FlagType. For examples, see -- http://github.com/errge/hflags/blob/master/examples/ComplexExample.hs. -- -- The parameters: -- -- defineEQFlag :: String -> ExpQ -> String -> String -> Q [Dec] -- | Class of types for which the easy defineFlag syntax is -- supported. class FlagType t defineFlag :: FlagType t => String -> t -> String -> Q [Dec] -- | Has to be called from the main before doing anything else: -- --
--   main = do args <- $(initHFlags Simple program v0.1)
--             ...
--   
-- -- Internally, it uses Template Haskell trickery to gather all the -- instances of the Flag class and then generates a call to -- initFlags with the appropriate data gathered together from -- those instances to a list. -- -- Type after splicing is IO [String]. initHFlags :: String -> ExpQ -- | Contains the non-parsed, non-option parts of the command line, the -- arguments. Can only be used after initHFlags has been called. arguments :: [String] instance FlagType Text instance FlagType Double instance FlagType String instance FlagType Integer instance FlagType Int instance FlagType Bool
