toUsage
java.lang.String toUsage(SyntaxNotation aSyntaxNotation)
Returns the human readable (verbose) syntax of implementing class ATTENTION: As of different parenthesis settings for some notations regarding the rootSyntaxable
and the childSyntaxable
s, the methodSyntaxable.toSyntax(SyntaxNotation)
is called from inside aSyntaxable
hierarchy. In case the syntax is to be retrieved from the rootSyntaxable
or an encapsulating and different type, then the applicable method to be called istoUsage(SyntaxNotation)
, as for some notations it will for example not create the most outer braces.- Parameters:
aSyntaxNotation
- The syntax notation used for generating the command line arguments syntax.- Returns:
- The human readable (verbose) command line arguments syntax.
