#1031: More specific parameter information in command line help --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: huhabla | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 7.0.0 Component: libgis | Version: svn-trunk Resolution: | Keywords: parser, help Platform: All | Cpu: All --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment (by glynn):
Replying to [comment:5 huhabla]: > I have attached a patch for lib/gis/parser_help.c and lib/gis/parser_stanndard_options.c which implements the discussed ideas. 1. The patch makes unnecessary formatting changes, which also contravene the GRASS formatting conventions. In general, formatting changes should be kept separate from other changes to make it easier to review the substance of the changes. But in this case, the formatting changes just shouldn't be there. 2. The updated output is unnecessarily verbose, which is a bad thing IMHO. The "required" and "multiple" status can already be determined from the "Usage:" section. Non-required options are listed in square brackets, while multiple options use the "option=value,..." convention. If you really want this format, it should be a separate option, e.g. --verbose- help. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1031#comment:6> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
