The title says it all! I can't seem to find this in any of the documentation nor on any other sites/SO questions.
What I want to do is when calling my program, specify a file that contains more CLI options. It is supported in some UNIX programs (like ar
) and is handy on systems where there is a limit on how long your command line can be. Does DocOpt support this?
What I want to do:
myProg -d --process-all --some-other-opt "hello" @additionalOptions.txt
Where additionalOptions.txt
contains something like:
-g
--name "Sarah"
--name "Caleb"
--name "Sharen"
--name "Matt"
... # However many more
DocOpt does not support this. Trying to get it added as a feature: https://github.com/docopt/docopt/issues/242. If they approve, I'll port it to DocOpt.cpp.
