Detailed Description

support class for console applications.

Builds an envelope for the OFCommandLine class to provide a consistent behaviour for all DCMTK console applications. Performs console output operations and error checking.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OFConsoleApplication()

OFConsoleApplication::OFConsoleApplication	(	const char *	app,
		const char *	desc = NULL,
		const char *	rcsid = NULL
	)

constructor

Parameters

app	application name
desc	(short) description of what the application does
rcsid	identifier for console application

Member Function Documentation

checkConflict()

void OFConsoleApplication::checkConflict	(	const char *	firstOpt,
		const char *	secondOpt,
		OFBool	condition
	)

check conflict between two options and report an error if required.

Message format: "error: " + firstOpt + " not allowed with " + secondOpt

Parameters

firstOpt	first option to be checked
secondOpt	second option to be checked
condition	if true error message is printed (i.e. a conflict exists)

checkDependence()

void OFConsoleApplication::checkDependence	(	const char *	subOpt,
		const char *	baseOpt,
		OFBool	condition
	)

check dependence between sub and base option and report an error if required.

Message format: "error: " + subOpt + " only allowed with " + baseOpt

Parameters

subOpt	option to be checked
baseOpt	base option required for sub option
condition	if false error message is printed (i.e. base option is absent)

checkParam()

void OFConsoleApplication::checkParam	(	const OFCommandLine::E_ParamValueStatus	status,
		OFCommandLine *	cmd = NULL
	)

check parameter status and print error message if necessary

Parameters

status	status of OFCommandLine::getParam() call
cmd	reference to command line class (default: object used for parsing)

checkValue()

void OFConsoleApplication::checkValue	(	const OFCommandLine::E_ValueStatus	status,
		OFCommandLine *	cmd = NULL
	)

check value status and print error message if necessary

Parameters

status	status of OFCommandLine::getValue() call
cmd	reference to command line class (default: object used for parsing)

parseCommandLine()

OFBool OFConsoleApplication::parseCommandLine	(	OFCommandLine &	cmd,
		int	argCount,
		char *	argValue[],
		const int	flags = 0,
		const int	startPos = 1
	)

parse command line.

If the command line has no argument (in case at least one argument is required) and if the command line has only one argument, namely "--help" or the specified shortcut, (in all cases) the usage is printed (see printUsage).

Parameters

cmd	reference to the OFCommandLine object. Should be valid at least as long as this object exists.
argCount	number of arguments (argc)
argValue	pointer to argument array (argv[])
flags	flags to be used for parsing (e.g. OFCommandLine::PF_NoCommandFiles)
startPos	first argument to be parsed (default: 1, i.e. omit program name)

Returns

status of parsing process, true if successful, false otherwise

printArguments()

void OFConsoleApplication::printArguments

(

OFCommandLine *

cmd = NULL

)

print expanded command line arguments to standard error stream

Parameters

cmd	reference to command line class (default: object used for parsing)

printError()

void OFConsoleApplication::printError	(	const char *	str,
		const int	code = 1
	)

print error message (incl.

header) to standard error stream and exit with error code

Parameters

str	error message to be printed
code	error code to be returned (exit)

printHeader()

void OFConsoleApplication::printHeader	(	const OFBool	hostInfo = OFFalse,
		const OFBool	stdError = OFFalse
	)

print header of console application (consisting of identifier, name and description)

Parameters

hostInfo	print host information as reported by 'config.guess' if OFTrue. If compiled with 'libiconv' support, the current locale's character encoding is also shown. On Windows systems, either the current OEM and ANSI code page identifiers are printed or "Unicode (UTF-16)" if support is enabled. Finally, if the DEBUG macro is defined, a note on the presence of debug code is given.
stdError	print to standard error stream if OFTrue (default: standard output)

printMessage()

void OFConsoleApplication::printMessage

(

const char *

str

)

print message (w/o header) to standard error stream.

Parameters

str	message to be printed

printUsage()

void OFConsoleApplication::printUsage

(

const OFCommandLine *

cmd = NULL

)

print usage (syntax of command line options) to standard output stream

Parameters

cmd	reference to command line class (default: object used for parsing)

printWarning()

void OFConsoleApplication::printWarning	(	const char *	str,
		const char *	prefix = "warning"
	)

print warning message (w/o header) to standard error stream

Parameters

str	warning message to be printed
prefix	prefix printed in front of the message

quietMode()

OFBool OFConsoleApplication::quietMode

(

)

const

check quiet mode

Returns

OFTrue if quiet mode is active, OFFalse otherwise

setQuietMode()

void OFConsoleApplication::setQuietMode

(

const OFBool

mode = OFTrue

)

switch on/off quiet mode

Parameters

mode	if OFTrue all error and warning messages will be suppressed
