    public class ArgsParserImpl
extends Object
implements ArgsParser
    A straightforward implementation of the ArgsParser interface. The constructor only provides means to set the required attributes as the attributes to be adjusted optionally are already sufficiently pre-configured. For adjusting them, a flavor of the Builder-Pattern is provided with which you can easily chain the configuration of this instance; as them methods return the instance of this class being configured. This helps to prevent the telescoping constructor anti-pattern.

    The SyntaxNotation is pre-set with the SyntaxNotation.REFCODES notation.

    The console width id pre-configured with the console's width as determined by the SystemUtility.getTerminalWidth().

    The standard out PrintStream is pre-configured with the System.out PrintStream.

    The newline characters to be used for line breaks is "\r\n" on Windows machines and "\"n" on all other machines as of the SystemUtility.getLineBreak().

        Evaluates the provided command line arguments and determines the according values by evaluating the root ArgsSyntax. In case of parsing failure, an according exception is thrown. ATTENTION: This method tests(!) for superfluous command line arguments being passed; e.g. command line arguments not being evaluated by any of the Syntaxable instance being traversed starting at the root ArgsSyntax will be reported. Business logic therefore should invoke this root node's ArgsParser.evalArgs(String[]) method instead of a ArgsSyntax's Syntaxable.parseArgs(String[], String[]) method; as ignoring superfluous command line arguments will cause unexpected behavior from the point of view of the invoker.
        Specified by:
        evalArgs in interface ArgsParser
        Parameters:
        aArgs - The command line arguments to be evaluated.
        Returns:
        The list of evaluated command line arguments being instances of the Operand interfaces or its sub-types.
        Throws:
        ArgsSyntaxException - thrown in case of a command line arguments mismatch regarding provided and expected args.
