NAME

Perinci::Sub::ConvertArgs::Argv - Convert hash arguments to command-line options (and arguments)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.110 of Perinci::Sub::ConvertArgs::Argv (from Perl distribution Perinci-Sub-ConvertArgs-Argv), released on 2019-04-15.

SYNOPSIS

 use Perinci::Sub::ConvertArgs::Argv qw(convert_args_to_argv);

 my $res = convert_args_to_argv(args=>\%args, meta=>$meta, ...);

FUNCTIONS

convert_args_to_argv

Usage:

 convert_args_to_argv(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Convert hash arguments to command-line options (and arguments).

Convert hash arguments to command-line arguments. This is the reverse of Perinci::Sub::GetArgs::Argv::get_args_from_argv.

Note: currently the function expects schemas in metadata to be normalized already.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• args* => hash

• meta => hash

• use_pos => bool

  Whether to use positional arguments.

  For example, given this metadata:

   {
       v => 1.1,
       args => {
         arg1 => {pos=>0, req=>1},
         arg2 => {pos=>1},
         arg3 => {},
       },
   }

  then under use_pos=0 the hash {arg1=>1, arg2=>2, arg3=>'a b'} will be converted to ['--arg1', 1, '--arg2', 2, '--arg3', 'a b']. Meanwhile if use_pos=1 the same hash will be converted to [1, 2, '--arg3', 'a b'].

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
