20 This document only describes the methods of the Usage object. For
21 information on how to use Getopt::Long::Descriptive, consult its
22 documentation.
23
25 This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It
26 should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.
27
28 Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made
29 that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version
30 may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches
31 will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
32
34 new
35 my $usage = Getopt::Long::Descriptive::Usage->new(\%arg);
36
37 You really don't need to call this. GLD will do it for you.
38
39 Valid arguments are:
40
41 options - an arrayref of options
42 leader_text - the text that leads the usage; this may go away!
43
44 text
45 This returns the full text of the usage message.
46
47 leader_text
48 This returns the text that comes at the beginning of the usage message.
49
50 option_text
51 This returns the text describing the available options.
52
53 warn
54 This warns with the usage message.
55
56 die
57 This throws the usage message as an exception.
58
59 $usage_obj->die(\%arg);
60
61 Some arguments can be provided
62
63 pre_text - text to be prepended to the usage message
64 post_text - text to be appended to the usage message
65
66 The "pre_text" and "post_text" arguments are concatenated with the
67 usage message with no line breaks, so supply this if you need them.
