Bash template

bash-tpl

Parsing method :

• getopt
  https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/getopt.1.html
• getopts
  https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/getopts.1p.html
• bash parsing method

hopt-gen

Generate help_options functions based on one of the parsing methods chosen.
In order to generate a bit of the help function, the parsing logic must be delimited by BEGIN_PARAMETERS_LOOP and BEGIN_PARAMETERS_LOOP.

For example :

# ...# BEGIN_PARAMETERS_LOOPwhile [[ $#-gt 0 ]];do
i="${1}"case${i}in
-p|--parse)
# logicshift
;;
-h|--help) help_options &&exit 0
shift
;;
-o|--output)
output="${2}"shift 2
;;
*) printf"Unknown parameter passed: %s\n""${1}"1>&2
usage
exit 1
;;
esacdone# END_PARAMETERS_LOOP# ...

Will show the following outuput :

help_options(){
printf"Options : \n"printf"\t-p, --parse command description \n"printf"\t-h, --help command description \n"printf"\t-o, --output command description \n"
}

Where command description could be changed for any other description related to the option.
