Getopt::Long::Dump - Run a Getopt::Long-based script but only to dump the spec
This document describes version 0.10 of Getopt::Long::Dump (from Perl distribution Getopt-Long-Dump), released on 2016-10-27.
Run a Getopt::Long-based script but only to dump the spec.
This function runs a CLI script that uses Getopt::Long but monkey-patches beforehand so that run() will dump the object and then exit. The goal is to get the object without actually running the script.
Getopt::Long
run()
This can be used to gather information about the script and then generate documentation about it or do other things (e.g. App::shcompgen to generate a completion script for the original script).
App::shcompgen
CLI script needs to use Getopt::Long. This is detected currently by a simple regex. If script is not detected as using Getopt::Long, status 412 is returned.
Will return the Getopt::Long specification.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
filename* => str
Path to the script.
libs => array[str]
Libraries to unshift to @INC when running script.
skip_detect => bool
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
Return value: (any)
Will be set to 1 when executing the script to be dumped.
