java.lang.Enum<SyntaxNotation>

org.refcodes.cli.SyntaxNotation

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<SyntaxNotation>, java.lang.constant.Constable

public enum SyntaxNotation
extends Enum<SyntaxNotation>

The SyntaxNotation is used by a the Syntaxable.toSyntax(SyntaxNotation, String, String, String) method to determine which notation to be used for the generated syntax.

Method Details

values

public static SyntaxNotation[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static SyntaxNotation valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
