//! Minimal, flexible command-line parser
//!
//! As opposed to a declarative parser, this processes arguments as a stream of tokens. As lexing
//! a command-line is not context-free, we rely on the caller to decide how to interpret the
//! arguments.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::path::PathBuf;
//! use std::ffi::OsStr;
//!
//! type BoxedError = Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>;
//!
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! struct Args {
//! paths: Vec<PathBuf>,
//! color: Color,
//! verbosity: usize,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! enum Color {
//! Always,
//! Auto,
//! Never,
//! }
//!
//! impl Color {
//! fn parse(s: Option<&OsStr>) -> Result<Self, BoxedError> {
//! let s = s.map(|s| s.to_str().ok_or(s));
//! match s {
//! Some(Ok("always")) | Some(Ok("")) | None => {
//! Ok(Color::Always)
//! }
//! Some(Ok("auto")) => {
//! Ok(Color::Auto)
//! }
//! Some(Ok("never")) => {
//! Ok(Color::Never)
//! }
//! Some(invalid) => {
//! Err(format!("Invalid value for `--color`, {invalid:?}").into())
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! }
//!
//! fn parse_args(
//! raw: impl IntoIterator<Item=impl Into<std::ffi::OsString>>
//! ) -> Result<Args, BoxedError> {
//! let mut args = Args {
//! paths: Vec::new(),
//! color: Color::Auto,
//! verbosity: 0,
//! };
//!
//! let raw = clap_lex::RawArgs::new(raw);
//! let mut cursor = raw.cursor();
//! raw.next(&mut cursor); // Skip the bin
//! while let Some(arg) = raw.next(&mut cursor) {
//! if arg.is_escape() {
//! args.paths.extend(raw.remaining(&mut cursor).map(PathBuf::from));
//! } else if arg.is_stdio() {
//! args.paths.push(PathBuf::from("-"));
//! } else if let Some((long, value)) = arg.to_long() {
//! match long {
//! Ok("verbose") => {
//! if let Some(value) = value {
//! return Err(format!("`--verbose` does not take a value, got `{value:?}`").into());
//! }
//! args.verbosity += 1;
//! }
//! Ok("color") => {
//! args.color = Color::parse(value)?;
//! }
//! _ => {
//! return Err(
//! format!("Unexpected flag: --{}", arg.display()).into()
//! );
//! }
//! }
//! } else if let Some(mut shorts) = arg.to_short() {
//! while let Some(short) = shorts.next_flag() {
//! match short {
//! Ok('v') => {
//! args.verbosity += 1;
//! }
//! Ok('c') => {
//! let value = shorts.next_value_os();
//! args.color = Color::parse(value)?;
//! }
//! Ok(c) => {
//! return Err(format!("Unexpected flag: -{c}").into());
//! }
//! Err(e) => {
//! return Err(format!("Unexpected flag: -{}", e.to_string_lossy()).into());
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! } else {
//! args.paths.push(PathBuf::from(arg.to_value_os().to_owned()));
//! }
//! }
//!
//! Ok(args)
//! }
//!
//! let args = parse_args(["bin", "--hello", "world"]);
