121 * Module that can be run from a command line and uses gmx::Options for
122 * argument processing.
124 * This class provides a higher-level interface on top of
125 * gmx::ICommandLineModule for cases where gmx::Options will be used
126 * for declaring the command-line arguments. The module only needs to declare
127 * the options it uses, and the framework takes care of command-line parsing
128 * and help output. The module typically consists of the following parts:
129 * - init() allows for some interaction between the module and the framework
130 * when running the module; see ICommandLineModule::init(). If no
131 * such customization is necessary, an empty implementation is sufficient.
132 * - initOptions() is called both for running the module and for printing help
133 * for the module, and it should add the options that the module
134 * understands. Values provided for the options are typically stored in
136 * - optionsFinished() can be implemented in case additional processing is
137 * needed (e.g., checking whether an option was set by the user).
138 * - run() is called when running the module, after command-line options have
139 * been parsed and their values stored in the corresponding member
142 * registerModule(), runAsMain(), or createModule() can be used to use modules
143 * of this type in all contexts where a gmx::ICommandLineModule is
144 * expected. These methods create a gmx::ICommandLineModule
145 * implementation that contains the common code needed to parse command-line
146 * options and write help, based on the information provided from the methods
