== Parameters for New Options
Option-creating methods in \OptionParser
accept arguments that determine the behavior of a new option:
- OptionParser#on
- OptionParser#on_head
- OptionParser#on_tail
- OptionParser#define
- OptionParser#define_head
- OptionParser#define_tail
- OptionParser#make_switch
The code examples on this page use:
- OptionParser#on, to define options.
- OptionParser#parse!, to parse the command line.
- Built-in option <tt>--help</tt>, to display defined options.

=== Option Names
There are two kinds of option names:
- Short option name, consisting of a single hyphen and a single character.
- Long option name, consisting of two hyphens and one or more characters.
==== Short Names
===== Simple Short Names
File +short_simple.rb+ defines two options:
- One with short name <tt>-x</tt>.
- The other with two short names, in effect, aliases, <tt>-1</tt> and <tt>-%</tt>.
:include: ruby/short_simple.rb
Executions:
$ ruby short_simple.rb --help
Usage: short_simple [options]
-x One short name
-1, -% Two short names (aliases)
$ ruby short_simple.rb -x
["-x", true]
$ ruby short_simple.rb -1 -x -%
["-1 or -%", true]
["-x", true]
["-1 or -%", true]
===== Short Names with Required Arguments
A short name followed (no whitespace) by a dummy word
defines an option that requires an argument.
File +short_required.rb+ defines an option <tt>-x</tt>
that requires an argument.
:include: ruby/short_required.rb
Executions:
$ ruby short_required.rb --help
Usage: short_required [options]
-xXXX Short name with required argument
$ ruby short_required.rb -x
short_required.rb:6:in `<main>': missing argument: -x (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
$ ruby short_required.rb -x FOO
["-x", "FOO"]
===== Short Names with Optional Arguments
A short name followed (with whitespace) by a dummy word in square brackets
defines an option that allows an optional argument.
File +short_optional.rb+ defines an option <tt>-x</tt>
that allows an optional argument.
:include: ruby/short_optional.rb
Executions:
$ ruby short_optional.rb --help
Usage: short_optional [options]
-x [XXX] Short name with optional argument
$ ruby short_optional.rb -x
["-x", nil]
$ ruby short_optional.rb -x FOO
["-x", "FOO"]
===== Short Names from Range
You can define an option with multiple short names
taken from a range of characters.
The parser yields both the actual character cited and the value.
File +short_range.rb+ defines an option with short names
for all printable characters from <tt>!</tt> to <tt>~</tt>:
:include: ruby/short_range.rb
Executions:
$ ruby short_range.rb --help
Usage: short_range [options]
-[!-~] Short names in (very large) range
$ ruby short_range.rb -!
["!-~", "!", nil]
$ ruby short_range.rb -!
["!-~", "!", nil]
$ ruby short_range.rb -A
["!-~", "A", nil]
$ ruby short_range.rb -z
["!-~", "z", nil]
==== Long Names
===== Simple Long Names
File +long_simple.rb+ defines two options:
- One with long name <tt>-xxx</tt>.
- The other with two long names, in effect, aliases,
<tt>--y1%</tt> and <tt>--z2#</tt>.
:include: ruby/long_simple.rb
Executions:
$ ruby long_simple.rb --help
Usage: long_simple [options]
--xxx One long name
--y1%, --z2# Two long names (aliases)
$ ruby long_simple.rb --xxx
["--xxx", true]
$ ruby long_simple.rb --y1% --xxx --z2#
["--y1% or --z2#", true]
["--xxx", true]
["--y1% or --z2#", true]
===== Long Names with Required Arguments
A long name followed (with whitespace) by a dummy word
defines an option that requires an argument.
File +long_required.rb+ defines an option <tt>--xxx</tt>
that requires an argument.
:include: ruby/long_required.rb
Executions:
$ ruby long_required.rb --help
Usage: long_required [options]
--xxx XXX Long name with required argument
$ ruby long_required.rb --xxx
long_required.rb:6:in `<main>': missing argument: --xxx (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
$ ruby long_required.rb --xxx FOO
["--xxx", "FOO"]
===== Long Names with Optional Arguments
A long name followed (with whitespace) by a dummy word in square brackets
defines an option that allows an optional argument.
File +long_optional.rb+ defines an option <tt>--xxx</tt>
that allows an optional argument.
:include: ruby/long_optional.rb
Executions:
$ ruby long_optional.rb --help
Usage: long_optional [options]
--xxx [XXX] Long name with optional argument
$ ruby long_optional.rb --xxx
["--xxx", nil]
$ ruby long_optional.rb --xxx FOO
["--xxx", "FOO"]
===== Long Names with Negation
A long name may be defined with both positive and negative senses.
File +long_with_negation.rb+ defines an option that has both senses.
:include: ruby/long_with_negation.rb
Executions:
$ ruby long_with_negation.rb --help
Usage: long_with_negation [options]
--[no-]binary Long name with negation
$ ruby long_with_negation.rb --binary
[true, TrueClass]
$ ruby long_with_negation.rb --no-binary
[false, FalseClass]
==== Mixed Names
An option may have both short and long names.
File +mixed_names.rb+ defines a mixture of short and long names.
:include: ruby/mixed_names.rb
Executions:
$ ruby mixed_names.rb --help
Usage: mixed_names [options]
-x, --xxx Short and long, no argument
-y, --yyyYYY Short and long, required argument
-z, --zzz [ZZZ] Short and long, optional argument
$ ruby mixed_names.rb -x
["--xxx", true]
$ ruby mixed_names.rb --xxx
["--xxx", true]
$ ruby mixed_names.rb -y
mixed_names.rb:12:in `<main>': missing argument: -y (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
$ ruby mixed_names.rb -y FOO
["--yyy", "FOO"]
$ ruby mixed_names.rb --yyy
mixed_names.rb:12:in `<main>': missing argument: --yyy (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
$ ruby mixed_names.rb --yyy BAR
["--yyy", "BAR"]
$ ruby mixed_names.rb -z
["--zzz", nil]
$ ruby mixed_names.rb -z BAZ
["--zzz", "BAZ"]
$ ruby mixed_names.rb --zzz
["--zzz", nil]
$ ruby mixed_names.rb --zzz BAT
["--zzz", "BAT"]
=== Argument Keywords
As seen above, a given option name string may itself
indicate whether the option has no argument, a required argument,
or an optional argument.
An alternative is to use a separate symbol keyword,
which is one of <tt>:NONE</tt> (the default),
<tt>:REQUIRED</tt>, <tt>:OPTIONAL</tt>.
File +argument_keywords.rb+ defines an option with a required argument.
:include: ruby/argument_keywords.rb
Executions:
$ ruby argument_keywords.rb --help
Usage: argument_keywords [options]
-x, --xxx Required argument
$ ruby argument_styles.rb --xxx
argument_styles.rb:6:in `<main>': missing argument: --xxx (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
$ ruby argument_styles.rb --xxx FOO
["--xxx", "FOO"]
=== Argument Strings
Still another way to specify a required argument
is to define it in a string separate from the name string.
File +argument_strings.rb+ defines an option with a required argument.
:include: ruby/argument_strings.rb
Executions:
$ ruby argument_strings.rb --help
Usage: argument_strings [options]
-x, --xxx=XXX Required argument
$ ruby argument_strings.rb --xxx
argument_strings.rb:9:in `<main>': missing argument: --xxx (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
$ ruby argument_strings.rb --xxx FOO
["--xxx", "FOO"]
=== Argument Values
Permissible argument values may be restricted
either by specifying explicit values
or by providing a pattern that the given value must match.
==== Explicit Argument Values
You can specify argument values in either of two ways:
- Specify values an array of strings.
- Specify values a hash.
===== Explicit Values in Array
You can specify explicit argument values in an array of strings.
The argument value must be one of those strings, or an unambiguous abbreviation.
File +explicit_array_values.rb+ defines options with explicit argument values.
:include: ruby/explicit_array_values.rb
Executions:
$ ruby explicit_array_values.rb --help
Usage: explicit_array_values [options]
-xXXX Values for required argument
-y [YYY] Values for optional argument
$ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x
explicit_array_values.rb:9:in `<main>': missing argument: -x (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
$ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x foo
["-x", "foo"]
$ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x f
["-x", "foo"]
$ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x bar
["-x", "bar"]
$ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -y ba
explicit_array_values.rb:9:in `<main>': ambiguous argument: -y ba (OptionParser::AmbiguousArgument)
$ ruby explicit_array_values.rb -x baz
explicit_array_values.rb:9:in `<main>': invalid argument: -x baz (OptionParser::InvalidArgument)
===== Explicit Values in Hash
You can specify explicit argument values in a hash with string keys.
The value passed must be one of those keys, or an unambiguous abbreviation;
the value yielded will be the value for that key.
File +explicit_hash_values.rb+ defines options with explicit argument values.
:include: ruby/explicit_hash_values.rb
Executions:
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb --help
Usage: explicit_hash_values [options]
-xXXX Values for required argument
-y [YYY] Values for optional argument
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x
explicit_hash_values.rb:9:in `<main>': missing argument: -x (OptionParser::MissingArgument)
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x foo
["-x", 0]
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x f
["-x", 0]
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x bar
["-x", 1]
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -x baz
explicit_hash_values.rb:9:in `<main>': invalid argument: -x baz (OptionParser::InvalidArgument)
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y
["-y", nil]
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y baz
["-y", 2]
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y bat
["-y", 3]
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y ba
explicit_hash_values.rb:9:in `<main>': ambiguous argument: -y ba (OptionParser::AmbiguousArgument)
$ ruby explicit_hash_values.rb -y bam
["-y", nil]
==== Argument Value Patterns
You can restrict permissible argument values
by specifying a Regexp that the given argument must match.
File +matched_values.rb+ defines options with matched argument values.
:include: ruby/matched_values.rb
Executions:
$ ruby matched_values.rb --help
Usage: matched_values [options]
--xxx XXX Matched values
$ ruby matched_values.rb --xxx foo
["--xxx", "foo"]
$ ruby matched_values.rb --xxx FOO
["--xxx", "FOO"]
$ ruby matched_values.rb --xxx bar
matched_values.rb:6:in `<main>': invalid argument: --xxx bar (OptionParser::InvalidArgument)
=== Argument Converters
An option can specify that its argument is to be converted
from the default \String to an instance of another class.
There are a number of built-in converters.
You can also define custom converters.
See {Argument Converters}[./argument_converters.rdoc].
=== Descriptions
A description parameter is any string parameter
that is not recognized as an
{option name}[#label-Option+Names] or a
{terminator}[#label-Terminators];
in other words, it does not begin with a hyphen.
You may give any number of description parameters;
each becomes a line in the text generated by option <tt>--help</tt>.
File +descriptions.rb+ has six strings in its array +descriptions+.
These are all passed as parameters to OptionParser#on, so that they
all, line for line, become the option's description.
:include: ruby/descriptions.rb
Executions:
$ ruby descriptions.rb --help
Usage: descriptions [options]
--xxx Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer
adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget.
Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus
et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur
ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies
nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem.
$ ruby descriptions.rb --xxx
["--xxx", true]
=== Option Handlers
The handler for an option is an executable that will be called
when the option is encountered. The handler may be:
- A block (this is most often seen).
- A proc.
- A method.
==== Handler Blocks
An option handler may be a block.
File +block.rb+ defines an option that has a handler block.
:include: ruby/block.rb
Executions:
$ ruby block.rb --help
Usage: block [options]
--xxx Option with no argument
--yyy YYY Option with required argument
$ ruby block.rb --xxx
["Handler block for -xxx called with value:", true]
$ ruby block.rb --yyy FOO
["Handler block for -yyy called with value:", "FOO"]
==== Handler Procs
An option handler may be a Proc.
File +proc.rb+ defines an option that has a handler proc.
:include: ruby/proc.rb
Executions:
$ ruby proc.rb --help
Usage: proc [options]
--xxx Option with no argument
--yyy YYY Option with required argument
$ ruby proc.rb --xxx
["Handler proc for -xxx called with value:", true]
$ ruby proc.rb --yyy FOO
["Handler proc for -yyy called with value:", "FOO"]
==== Handler Methods
An option handler may be a Method.
File +proc.rb+ defines an option that has a handler method.
:include: ruby/method.rb
Executions:
$ ruby method.rb --help
Usage: method [options]
--xxx Option with no argument
--yyy YYY Option with required argument
$ ruby method.rb --xxx
["Handler method for -xxx called with value:", true]
$ ruby method.rb --yyy FOO
["Handler method for -yyy called with value:", "FOO"]
