//! Parsing command-line strings into exa options. //! //! This module imports exa’s configuration types, such as `View` (the details //! of displaying multiple files) and `DirAction` (what to do when encountering //! a directory), and implements `deduce` methods on them so they can be //! configured using command-line options. //! //! //! ## Useless and overridden options //! //! Let’s say exa was invoked with just one argument: `exa --inode`. The //! `--inode` option is used in the details view, where it adds the inode //! column to the output. But because the details view is *only* activated with //! the `--long` argument, adding `--inode` without it would not have any //! effect. //! //! For a long time, exa’s philosophy was that the user should be warned //! whenever they could be mistaken like this. If you tell exa to display the //! inode, and it *doesn’t* display the inode, isn’t that more annoying than //! having it throw an error back at you? //! //! However, this doesn’t take into account *configuration*. Say a user wants //! to configure exa so that it lists inodes in the details view, but otherwise //! functions normally. A common way to do this for command-line programs is to //! define a shell alias that specifies the details they want to use every //! time. For the inode column, the alias would be: //! //! `alias exa="exa --inode"` //! //! Using this alias means that although the inode column will be shown in the //! details view, you’re now *only* allowed to use the details view, as any //! other view type will result in an error. Oops! //! //! Another example is when an option is specified twice, such as `exa //! --sort=Name --sort=size`. Did the user change their mind about sorting, and //! accidentally specify the option twice? //! //! Again, exa rejected this case, throwing an error back to the user instead //! of trying to guess how they want their output sorted. And again, this //! doesn’t take into account aliases being used to set defaults. A user who //! wants their files to be sorted case-insensitively may configure their shell //! with the following: //! //! `alias exa="exa --sort=Name"` //! //! Just like the earlier example, the user now can’t use any other sort order, //! because exa refuses to guess which one they meant. It’s *more* annoying to //! have to go back and edit the command than if there were no error. //! //! Fortunately, there’s a heuristic for telling which options came from an //! alias and which came from the actual command-line: aliased options are //! nearer the beginning of the options array, and command-line options are //! nearer the end. This means that after the options have been parsed, exa //! needs to traverse them *backwards* to find the last-most-specified one. //! //! For example, invoking exa with `exa --sort=size` when that alias is present //! would result in a full command-line of: //! //! `exa --sort=Name --sort=size` //! //! `--sort=size` should override `--sort=Name` because it’s closer to the end //! of the arguments array. In fact, because there’s no way to tell where the //! arguments came from — it’s just a heuristic — this will still work even //! if no aliases are being used! //! //! Finally, this isn’t just useful when options could override each other. //! Creating an alias `exal="exa --long --inode --header"` then invoking `exal //! --grid --long` shouldn’t complain about `--long` being given twice when //! it’s clear what the user wants. use std::ffi::OsStr; use crate::fs::dir_action::DirAction; use crate::fs::filter::{FileFilter, GitIgnore}; use crate::output::{View, Mode, details, grid_details}; use crate::theme::Options as ThemeOptions; mod dir_action; mod file_name; mod filter; mod flags; mod theme; mod view; mod error; pub use self::error::{OptionsError, NumberSource}; mod help; use self::help::HelpString; mod parser; use self::parser::MatchedFlags; pub mod vars; pub use self::vars::Vars; mod version; use self::version::VersionString; /// These **options** represent a parsed, error-checked versions of the /// user’s command-line options. #[derive(Debug)] pub struct Options { /// The action to perform when encountering a directory rather than a /// regular file. pub dir_action: DirAction, /// How to sort and filter files before outputting them. pub filter: FileFilter, /// The user’s preference of view to use (lines, grid, details, or /// grid-details) along with the options on how to render file names. /// If the view requires the terminal to have a width, and there is no /// width, then the view will be downgraded. pub view: View, /// The options to make up the styles of the UI and file names. pub theme: ThemeOptions, } impl Options { /// Parse the given iterator of command-line strings into an Options /// struct and a list of free filenames, using the environment variables /// for extra options. #[allow(unused_results)] pub fn parse<'args, I, V>(args: I, vars: &V) -> OptionsResult<'args> where I: IntoIterator, V: Vars, { use crate::options::parser::{Matches, Strictness}; let strictness = match vars.get(vars::EXA_STRICT) { None => Strictness::UseLastArguments, Some(ref t) if t.is_empty() => Strictness::UseLastArguments, Some(_) => Strictness::ComplainAboutRedundantArguments, }; let Matches { flags, frees } = match flags::ALL_ARGS.parse(args, strictness) { Ok(m) => m, Err(pe) => return OptionsResult::InvalidOptions(OptionsError::Parse(pe)), }; if let Some(help) = HelpString::deduce(&flags) { return OptionsResult::Help(help); } if let Some(version) = VersionString::deduce(&flags) { return OptionsResult::Version(version); } match Self::deduce(&flags, vars) { Ok(options) => OptionsResult::Ok(options, frees), Err(oe) => OptionsResult::InvalidOptions(oe), } } /// Whether the View specified in this set of options includes a Git /// status column.
