81 // wxCmdLineParser is a class for parsing command line.
82 //
83 // It has the following features:
84 //
85 // 1. distinguishes options, switches and parameters; allows option grouping
86 // 2. allows both short and long options
87 // 3. automatically generates the usage message from the cmd line description
88 // 4. does type checks on the options values (number, date, ...)
89 //
90 // To use it you should:
91 //
92 // 1. construct it giving it the cmd line to parse and optionally its desc
93 // 2. construct the cmd line description using AddXXX() if not done in (1)
94 // 3. call Parse()
95 // 4. use GetXXX() to retrieve the parsed info
