  1. /**
  2. * class Action
  3. *
  4. * Base class for all actions
  5. * Do not call in your code, use this class only for inherits your own action
  6. *
  7. * Information about how to convert command line strings to Javascript objects.
  8. * Action objects are used by an ArgumentParser to represent the information
  9. * needed to parse a single argument from one or more strings from the command
  10. * line. The keyword arguments to the Action constructor are also all attributes
  11. * of Action instances.
  12. *
  13. * ##### Allowed keywords:
  14. *
  15. * - `store`
  16. * - `storeConstant`
  17. * - `storeTrue`
  18. * - `storeFalse`
  19. * - `append`
  20. * - `appendConstant`
  21. * - `count`
  22. * - `help`
  23. * - `version`
  24. *
  25. * Information about action options see [[Action.new]]
  26. *

  35. *
  36. * Base class for all actions. Used only for inherits
  37. *
  38. *
  39. * ##### Options:
  40. *
  41. * - `optionStrings` A list of command-line option strings for the action.
  42. * - `dest` Attribute to hold the created object(s)
  43. * - `nargs` The number of command-line arguments that should be consumed.
  44. * By default, one argument will be consumed and a single value will be
  45. * produced.
  46. * - `constant` Default value for an action with no value.
  47. * - `defaultValue` The value to be produced if the option is not specified.
  48. * - `type` Cast to 'string'|'int'|'float'|'complex'|function (string). If
  49. * None, 'string'.
  50. * - `choices` The choices available.
  51. * - `required` True if the action must always be specified at the command
  52. * line.
  53. * - `help` The help describing the argument.
  54. * - `metavar` The name to be used for the option's argument with the help
  55. * string. If None, the 'dest' value will be used as the name.
  56. *
  57. * ##### nargs supported values:
  58. *
  59. * - `N` (an integer) consumes N arguments (and produces a list)
  60. * - `?` consumes zero or one arguments
  61. * - `*` consumes zero or more arguments (and produces a list)
  62. * - `+` consumes one or more arguments (and produces a list)
  63. *
  64. * Note: that the difference between the default and nargs=1 is that with the
  65. * default, a single value will be produced, while with nargs=1, a list
  66. * containing a single value will be produced.
