Command Source: test.pl
sample
A sample program demonstrating typical Evaluate Parameters
usage.
Examples:
sample
sample -usage-help
sample -h
sample -full-help
sample -mui 1234
Parameters:
-help, h, usage-help, full-help: Display Command Information
Display information about this command, which includes a command description with examples, as well as a synopsis of the
command line parameters. If you specify -full-help rather than -help complete parameter help is displayed if it's available.
-verbose, v: switch
A 'switch' type parameter emulates a typical standalone
switch. If the switch is specified Evaluate Parameters
returns a '1'.
-command, c: string = D_SAMPLE_COMMAND, "ps -el"
A 'string' type parameter is just a list of characters,
which must be quoted if it contains whitespace.
NOTE: for this parameter you can also create and
initialize the environment variable D_SAMPLE_COMMAND to
override the standard default value for this command
line parameter. All types except 'switch' may have a
default environment variable for easy user customization.
-scale_factor, sf: real = 1
A 'real' type parameter must be a real number that may
contain a leading sign, a decimal point and an exponent.
-millisecond_update_interval, mui: integer = $required
An 'integer' type parameter must consist of all digits
with an optional leading sign. NOTE: this parameter's
default value is '$required', meaning that
Evaluate Parameters ensures that this parameter is
specified and given a valid value. All types except
'switch' may have a default value of '$required'.
-ignore_output_file_column_one, iofco: boolean = TRUE
A 'boolean' type parameter may be TRUE/YES/ON/1 or
FALSE/NO/OFF/0, either upper or lower case. If TRUE,
Evaluate Parameters returns a value of '1', else '0'.
-output, o: file = stdout
A 'file' type parameter expects a filename. For Unix
$HOME and ~ are expanded. For evap/Perl 'stdin' and
'stdout' are converted to '-' and '>-' so they can be
used in a Perl 'open' function.
-queue, q: key plotter, postscript, text, printer, keyend = printer
A 'key' type parameter enumerates valid values. Only the
specified keywords can be entered on the command line.
-destination, d: application = `hostname`
An 'application' type parameter is not type-checked in
any - the treatment of this type of parameter is
application specific. NOTE: this parameter' default
value is enclosed in grave accents (or "backticks").
Evaluate Parameters executes the command and uses it's
standard output as the default value for the parameter.
-tty, t: list of name = (/dev/console, /dev/tty0, /dev/tty1, /dev/console, /dev/tty0, /dev/tty1, /dev/console, /dev/tty0, /dev/tty1, /dev/console, /dev/tty0, /dev/tty1)
A 'name' type parameter is similar to a string except
that embedded white-space is not allowed. NOTE: this
parameter is also a LIST, meaning that it can be
specified multiple times and that each value is pushed
onto a Perl LIST variable. In general you should quote
all list elements. All types except 'switch' may be
'list of'.
