NAME

       Glib::OptionGroup -  group of options for command line option parsing

SYNOPSIS

         my ($verbose, $source, $filenames) = ('', undef, []);

         my $entries = [
           { long_name => 'verbose',
             short_name => 'v',
             arg_type => 'none',
             arg_value => \$verbose,
             description => 'be verbose' },

           { long_name => 'source',
             short_name => 's',
             arg_type => 'string',
             arg_value => \$source,
             description => 'set the source',
             arg_description => 'source' },

           [ 'filenames', 'f', 'filename-array', \$filenames ],
         ];

         my $context = Glib::OptionContext->new ('- urgsify your life');
         $context->add_main_entries ($entries, 'C');
         $context->parse ();

         # $verbose, $source, and $filenames are now updated according to the
         # command line options given

HIERARCHY

         Glib::Boxed
         +----Glib::OptionGroup

METHODS

   optioncontext = Glib::OptionContext->new ($parameter_string)
       •   $parameter_string (string)

   optiongroup = Glib::OptionGroup->new (key => value, ...)
       Creates a new option group from the given key-value pairs.  The valid keys are name,
       description, help_description, and entries.  The first three specify strings while the
       last one, entries, specifies an array reference of option entries.  Example:

         my $group = Glib::OptionGroup->new (
                       name => 'urgs',
                       description => 'Urgs Urgs Urgs',
                       help_description => 'Help with Urgs',
                       entries => \@entries);

       An option entry is a hash reference like this:

         { long_name => 'verbose',
           short_name => 'v',
           flags => [qw/reverse hidden in-main/],
           arg_type => 'none',
           arg_value => \$verbose,
           description => 'verbose desc.',
           arg_description => 'verbose arg desc.' }

       Of those keys only long_name, arg_type, and arg_value are required.  So this is a valid
       option entry too:

         { long_name => 'package-names',
           arg_type => 'string-array',
           arg_value => \$package_names }

       For convenience, option entries can also be specified as array references containing
       long_name, short_name, arg_type, and arg_value:

         [ 'filenames', 'f', 'filename-array', \$filenames ]

       If you don't want an option to have a short name, specify undef for it:

         [ 'filenames', undef, 'filename-array', \$filenames ]

   $context->add_group ($group)
       •   $group (Glib::OptionGroup)

   $context->add_main_entries ($entries, $translation_domain)
       •   $entries (scalar) reference to an array of option entries

       •   $translation_domain (string)

   boolean = $context->get_help_enabled
   $context->set_help_enabled ($help_enabled)
       •   $help_enabled (boolean)

   boolean = $context->get_ignore_unknown_options
   $context->set_ignore_unknown_options ($ignore_unknown)
       •   $ignore_unknown (boolean)

   optiongroup = $context->get_main_group
   $context->set_main_group ($group)
       •   $group (Glib::OptionGroup)

   boolean = $context->parse
       This method works directly on @ARGV.

       May croak with a Glib::Error in $@ on failure.

   $group->set_translate_func ($func, $data=undef)
       •   $func (scalar)

       •   $data (scalar)

   $group->set_translation_domain ($domain)
       •   $domain (string)
