## Detailed Description

When implementing a wrapper which executes program whose name is passed at command line then we can divide arguments usually into 3 groups, internal wrapper arguments, target program filename and program arguments. The class support argument parsing for such a case.

Examples: ( # GetOpt options 'help': 'h,help', 'verbose': 'v,verbose', 'listen': 'l,listen=s@', ); wrapper-prog -v -l xxx trg -v -l # trg is the target program name wrapper-prog -v -h trg xxx # trg is the target program name wrapper-prog -v –listen=xxx trg # trg is the target program name wrapper-prog -v –listen xxx trg # trg is the target program name

## ◆ split()

DebugCmdLine::WrapperGetOpt::split | ( | list< string > | args,
|  | reference< list< string >> | wrp_args,
|  | reference< *string > | pgm_name,
|  | reference< list< string >> | pgm_args
| ) |  |

Parses input arguments until a standalone argument is found.

Parameters

  args | List of arguments passed to wrapper, typically ARGV
  wrp_args | returns list of wrapper arguments
  pgm_name | returns the target program filename; "" is considered a special file name (meaning `stdin`), NOTHING when no name provided
  pgm_args | return List of target program arguments

Example:
  hash opts = (
  'help': 'h,help',
  'verbose': 'v,verbose',
  'listen': 'l,listen=s@',
  );
  WrapperGetOpt g(opts);
  list dargs;
  hash opt;
  *string fileName;
  g.split(ARGV, \dargs, \fileName, \ARGV);
  try {
  opt = g.parse2(\dargs);
  } catch (hash<ExceptionInfo> ex) {
  stderr.printf("%s: %s\n", ex.err, ex.desc);
  help(-1);
  }
  if (exists fileName) {
  stderr.print("No input file\n");
  exit(-1);
  }
