Enum docopt::Value [] [src]

pub enum Value {
    Switch(bool),
    Counted(u64),
    Plain(Option<String>),
    List(Vec<String>),
}

A matched command line value.

The value can be a boolean, counted repetition, a plain string or a list of strings.

The various as_{bool,count,str,vec} methods provide convenient access to values without destructuring manually.

Variants

Switch(bool)

A boolean value from a flag that has no argument.

The presence of a flag means true and the absence of a flag means false.

Counted(u64)

The number of occurrences of a repeated flag.

Plain(Option<String>)

A positional or flag argument.

This is None when the positional argument or flag is not present. Note that it is possible to have Some("") for a present but empty argument.

List(Vec<String>)

A List of positional or flag arguments.

This list may be empty when no arguments or flags are present.

Methods

impl Value
[src]

fn as_bool(&self) -> bool

Returns the value as a bool.

Counted repetitions are false if 0 and true otherwise. Plain strings are true if present and false otherwise. Lists are true if non-empty and false otherwise.

fn as_count(&self) -> u64

Returns the value as a count of the number of times it occurred.

Booleans are 1 if true and 0 otherwise. Plain strings are 1 if present and 0 otherwise. Lists correspond to its length.

fn as_str<'a>(&'a self) -> &'a str

Returns the value as a string.

All values return an empty string except for a non-empty plain string.

fn as_vec<'a>(&'a self) -> Vec<&'a str>

Returns the value as a list of strings.

Booleans, repetitions and empty strings correspond to an empty list. Plain strings correspond to a list of length 1.
