Hello! I really like gengetopt, but I miss one feature to actually use it in a tool of mine.
GNU BPEL2oWFN can be run in a whole different modes. I use one option "--mode" to chose one of this modes, e.g. "--mode=net". Additionally, there are a lot of parameters, currently invoked via "--parameter", e.g. "--parameter=reduce". Now I miss two features in gengetopt: 1. I would like to make certain parameters dependend on the mode chosen. For example, parameter "reduce" should only be valid together with mode "net". As far as I understand, I currently can only express dependence between whole options, but not between their chosen values. 2. I would like to add descriptions not only to the option itself, but also to the valid values. I know I could do this with "text" insertions, I like the way gengetopt does all the wrapping and layout of the help output. I know I could solve my problems by giving each mode value a single option, e.g. "--net" or "--small", but I don't want to change the set of command line parameters just because switching to gengetopt. I hope you can help me. Again, great tool! Cheers, Niels. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Feature-requests%3A-dependencies-between-option-values--description-of-option-values-tp15618931p15618931.html Sent from the Gnu - Gengetopt - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Help-gengetopt mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gengetopt
