## Detailed Description

command-line interface

this module contains all the command-line specific routines, classes and datastructures. The intention of documenting that part is for illustration and example of libdar usage.

## Function Documentation

## ◆ crit_action_canonize_string()

std::string crit_action_canonize_string | ( | const std::string & | argument | ) |

canonizes a criterium description string

Parameters

  [in] | argument | is a not canonized criterium description string

Returns
  a canonized description string

Note
  criterium description strings when not canonized may include spaces tabs and carriage return for readability. Canonizing a criterium description string is to remove all these non significant characters.

## ◆ crit_action_create_from_string()

const libdar::crit_action* crit_action_create_from_string | ( | libdar::user_interaction & | dialog,
|  | const std::string & | argument,
|  | const libdar::infinint & | hourshift
| ) |  |

creates a criterium object as defined by the command line's given string

Parameters

  [in] | dialog | for user interaction
  [in] | argument | is a canonized criterium argument
  [in] | hourshift | the hourshift used to compare dates "more recent than"

Returns
  a criterium object

Note
  this function is recursive, it may throw Erange exception in case of syntaxical error
  second point, the returned object is dynamically allocated, this is the duty of the caller to release its memory calling the delete operator.

## ◆ dar_suite_global()

int dar_suite_global | ( | int | argc,
|  | char *const | argv[],
|  | const char ** | env,
|  | const char * | getopt_string,
|  | char | stop_scan,
|  | cli_callback | call
| ) |  |

common routine for all dar command-line tools to initialize environment and convert uncaught exceptions to exit status code

Parameters

  [in] | argc | is the number of argument on the command line
  [in] | argv | is the list of arguments on the command line
  [in] | env | is the environment variables table obtained from main()
  [in] | getopt_string | is the parsing string to pass to getopt
  [in] | stop_scan | while looking early for -j and -Q option will ignore all that follows stop_scan option if met
  [in] | call | is a callback function to run once user interaction is initialized and to catch from the exceptions

Returns
  the application exist status to use

## ◆ line_tools_build_regex_for_exclude_mask()

std::string line_tools_build_regex_for_exclude_mask | ( | const std::string & | prefix,
|  | const std::string & | relative_part
| ) |  |

builds a regex from root directory and user provided regex to be applied to the relative path

Parameters

  [in] | prefix | is the root portion of the path
  [in] | relative_part | is the user provided regex to be applied to the relative path

Returns
  the corresponding regex to be applied to full absolute path

## ◆ line_tools_check_basename()

void line_tools_check_basename | ( | user_interaction & | dialog,
|  | const path & | loc,
|  | std::string & | base,
|  | const std::string & | extension
| ) |  |

Parameters

  [in,out] | dialog | for user interaction
  [in] | loc | the path where resides the slice
  [in,out] | base | the basename of the slice
  [in] | extension | the extension of dar's slices

Note
  if user accepted the change of slice name proposed by libdar through dialog the base argument is changed

## ◆ line_tools_convert_date()

infinint line_tools_convert_date | ( | const std::string & | repres | ) |

convert a human readable date representation in number of second since the system reference date

Parameters

  [in] | repres | the date's human representation

Returns
  the corresponding number of seconds (computer time)

Note
  the string expected format is "[[[year/]month/]day-]hour:minute[:second]"

## ◆ line_tools_crypto_split_algo_pass()

void line_tools_crypto_split_algo_pass | ( | const secu_string & | all,
|  | crypto_algo & | algo,
|  | secu_string & | pass,

|  | std::vector< std::string > & | recipients
| ) |  |

split the argument to -K, -J and -$ in their different parts

Parameters

  [in] | all | is what the user provided on command-line
  [out] | algo | is the symmetrical algorithm to use
  [out] | pass | is either the passphrase
  [out] | no_cipher_given | is true if the use did not specified the cipher (which defaults to blowfish)
  [out] | recipients | emails recipients to use (empty list if gnupg has not to be used)

## ◆ line_tools_display_features()

void line_tools_display_features | ( | user_interaction & | dialog | ) |

display the compilation time features of libdar

Parameters

  [in,out] | dialog | for user interaction

Note
  this call uses the compile_time:: routines, and will not change its interface upon new feature addition

## ◆ line_tools_extract_basename()

void line_tools_extract_basename | ( | const char * | command_name,
|  | std::string & | basename
| ) |  |

extracts the basename of a file (removing path part)

Parameters

  [in] | command_name | is the full path of the file
  [out] | basename | the basename of the file

Exceptions

  Ememory | can be thrown if memory allocation failed

## ◆ line_tools_find_first_char_of()

|  | unsigned char | v
| ) |  |

give a pointer to the last character of the given value in the given string

Parameters

  [in] | s | is the given string
  [in] | v | is the given char value

Returns
  a interator on s, pointing on the first char of s equal to v or a pointing to s.end() if no such char could be found is "s"

Note
  the arguments are not modified neither the data they are pointing to. However the const statement has not been used to be able to return a iterator on the string (and not a const_interator). There is probably other ways to do that (using const_cast) for example

## ◆ line_tools_get_from_env()

const char* line_tools_get_from_env | ( | const char ** | env,
|  | const char * | clef
| ) |  |

isolate the value of a given variable from the environment vector

Parameters

  [in] | env | the environment vector as retreived from the third argument of the main() function
  [in] | clef | the key or variable name too look for

Returns
  nullptr if the key could not be found or a pointer to the env data giving the value of the requested key

Note
  the returned value must not be released by any mean as it is just a pointer to an system allocated memory (the env vector).

## ◆ line_tools_look_for()

void line_tools_look_for | ( | const std::deque< char > & | arguments,
|  | S_I | argc,

void line_tools_look_for_Q | ( | S_I | argc,
|  | char *const | argv[],
|  | const char * | getopt_string,
|  | char | stop_scan,
