dm_arg Module

Procedures for command-line argument parsing.

Create an array of argument types, then read and parse the arguments:

character(len=72) :: input
integer           :: delay, rc
logical           :: verbose
type(arg_type)    :: args(3)

args = [ &
    arg_type('input',   short='i', type=ARG_TYPE_STRING, required=.true.), &
    arg_type('delay',   short='x', type=ARG_TYPE_INTEGER), &
    arg_type('verbose', short='V', type=ARG_TYPE_LOGICAL) &
]

rc = dm_arg_read(args, app='myapp', major=1, minor=0, patch=0)
rc = dm_arg_get(args(1), input)
rc = dm_arg_get(args(2), delay)
rc = dm_arg_get(args(3), verbose)

Each argument requires name and type. The default type is ARG_TYPE_LOGICAL. Errors are indicated by the return codes. The command-line arguments --help/-h and --version/-v are processed automatically by function dm_arg_read().
