       Lire::LrCommand - Base class for command line programs.

SYNOPSIS

         my $prog = new Lire::LrCommand();
         $prog->init();
         $prog->add_section( 'myprog', __( 'My Program Options' ) );
         $prog->add_option( 'name' => 'myoption', 'type' => '=s',
                            'help' => __( 'My option help.' ) );

DESCRIPTION

       Class which is used to create command line program which shares functionaliy.

METHODS

   new( [$usage], [$help] )
       Creates a new Lire::LrCommon instance. Initializes the usage string and the help message
       to $usage and $help.

   set_usage( [$usage] )
   set_help( [$help] )
   set_section( [$name], [$label] )
   add_option( [%args] )
   add_common_options()
   import_log( [$converter], [$logfile] )
       import_log invokes Lire::ImportJob and Lire::DlfConverterProcess.  It uses
       &handle_logfile.

       This means that in case the $logfile is compressed, it is decompressed to a file in
       $TMPDIR.  In case the $logfile is read from a pipe or from STDIN, it is written to a file
       in $TMPDIR.  So, if you're short on discspace, pass the logfile as an uncompressed file.

   generate_report( [$converter], [$logfile] )
       Generate a report from a $logfile, using $converter.  Returns $reportfile.  Uses
       Lire::ReportConfig::generate_report to do the real work.
