    • parseArgs

      public Operand<?>[] parseArgs(String[] aArgs, String[] aKeywords, CliContext aCliCtx) throws ArgsSyntaxException
      Parses the given command line arguments using the provided keyword set and CLI context.

      This method represents the core parsing operation. It evaluates this Term or, if this term is an inner node, delegates parsing to its child terms.

      The aKeywords parameter defines reserved tokens such as option names that must not be interpreted as operand values.

      This method does not validate whether all arguments have been consumed. Superfluous arguments must be handled by the caller.

      Specified by:
      parseArgs in interface Term
      Overrides:
      parseArgs in class AbstractOperand<T>
      Parameters:
      aArgs - The command line arguments to parse
      aKeywords - Reserved option and keyword tokens
      aCliCtx - The CliContext controlling parsing and rendering
      Returns:
      The evaluated operands
      Throws:
      ArgsSyntaxException - If the arguments do not match the syntax

      aCliCtx - The context to use when creating the exception's details.
      Returns:
      The accordingly created ArgsSyntaxException instance.

      Overrides:
      setParsedArgs in class AbstractOperand<T>
      Parameters:
      aArgs - The command line arguments representing this Operand with its value.

      Sets the value for the Operand as parsed by the AbstractOperand.parseArgs(String[], String[], CliContext) method.
      Overrides:
      setValue in class AbstractOperand<T>
      Parameters:
      aValue - The value to be set for this Operand.

    • contains

    • getException

      public ArgsSyntaxException getException()
      Retrieves the ArgsSyntaxException exception in case invoking Term.parseArgs(String[], CliContext) failed. The exception (and the according suppressed ones alongside the causes) does not necessarily have been thrown by the Term.parseArgs(String[], CliContext) method depending on the semantics of the Term handing the exception (the AnyCondition provides any exceptions it caught even though it did not throw them as of its semantics).
      Specified by:
      getException in interface ExceptionAccessor<ArgsSyntaxException>
      Specified by:
      getException in interface Term
