AutoOpts uses an AutoGen definitions file for the definitions of the program options and overall configuration attributes. The complete list of program and option attributes is quite extensive, so if you are reading to understand how to use AutoOpts, I recommend reading the "Quick Start" section (see Quick Start) and paying attention to the following:
prog-name
, prog-title
, and argument
, program
attributes, See program attributes.
name
and descrip
option attributes, See Required Attributes.
value
(flag character) and min
(occurrence counts)
option attributes, See Common Attributes.
arg-type
from the option argument specification section,
See Option Arguments.
Keep in mind that the majority are rarely used and can be safely ignored. However, when you have special option processing requirements, the flexibility is there.
