## @version 1.8
## @brief Bash Argsparse Library
## @details
## @par URL
## https://github.com/Anvil/bash-argsparse @n
##
## @par Purpose
##
## To replace the option-parsing and usage-describing functions
## commonly rewritten in all scripts.
##
## @note
## This library is implemented for bash version 4. Prior versions of
## bash will fail at interpreting that code.
## @note
## The extglob shell option will be enabled and posix mode will be
## disabled when loading the library. Changing those settings
## afterwards will make the library execution fail.
##
## @par Usage
## Use the argsparse_use_option() function to declare your options with
## their single letter counterparts, along with their description.
##
## @par
## The argsparse_use_option() syntax is:
##
## @code
##     argsparse_use_option "optstring" "option description string" \
##     [ "property" ... ] [ "optional default value" ]
## @endcode
##
##
## @par
## An "optstring" is of the form "som=estring:". This would declare a
## long option named somestring. The ending ":" is optional and, if
## present, means the long option expects a value on the command
## line. The "=" char is also optional and means the immediatly
## following letter is the short single-letter equivalent option of
## --something.
##
## @par
## The "something" string must only contains ASCII
## letters/numbers/dash/underscore characters.
##
## @note
## What is referred later as "option" or "option name" (or even "long
## option name") is the optstring without the ':' and '=' characters.
##
##
##
## @par Options may have properties.
##
## Properties are set either at option declarations through the
## argsparse_use_option() function, or using the
## argsparse_set_option_property() function
##
## The currently supported properties are:
##
## - "hidden" @n
## 	 An hidden option will not be shown in usage.
##
## - "mandatory" @n
## 	 An option marked as mandatory is required on the command line. If
##   a mandatory option is omited by the user, usage() will be
##   triggered by argsparse_parse_options().
##
## - "value" @n
##   On the command line, the option will require a value.
## 	 Same effect if you end your optstring with a ':' char.
##
## - "default:<defaultvalue>" @n
## 	 The default value for the option.
##
## - "short:<char>" @n
##   The short single-letter equivalent of the option.
##
## - "type:<typename>" @n
##   Give a type to the option value. User input value will be checked
## 	 against built-in type verifications _or_ the
## 	 "check_type_<typename>" function. You cannot override a built-in
## 	 type. Built-in types are:
##   - file
##   - directory
##   - pipe
##   - terminal
##   - socket
##   - link
##   - char
##   - unsignedint
##   - uint
##   - integer
##   - int
##   - hexa
##   - ipv4
##   - ipv6
##   - ip
##   - hostname
##   - host
##   - portnumber
##   - port
##   - username
##   - group
##   - date
##   .
##
## - "exclude:<option> <option>" @n
##   The exclude property value is a space-separated list of other
##   options. User wont be able to provided two mutually exclusive
##   options on the command line. @n
##
##   e.g: if you set exclude property for the --foo option this way:
##   @code argsparse_set_option_property "exclude:opt1 opt2" foo @endcode
##   Then --opt1 and --foo are not allowed on the same command line
##   invokation. And same goes for --opt2 and --foo.
##   This foo exclude property setting wouldnt make --opt1 and --opt2,
##   mutually exclusive though.
##
## - "alias:<option> <option>" @n
##   This property allows an option to set multiple other without-value
##   options instead. Recursive aliases are permitted but no loop
##   detection is made, so be careful. @n
##   e.g: if you declare an option 'opt' like this:
##   @code argsparse_use_option opt "my description" "alias:opt1 opt2" @endcode
##   Then if the user is doing --opt on the command line, it will be as
##   if he would have done --opt1 --opt2
##
## - cumulative @n
##   Implies 'value'.
##   Everytime a cumulative option "optionname" is passed on the
##   command line, the value is stored at the end of an array named
##   "cumulated_values_<optionname>". @n
##
##   e.g: for a script with an opt1 option declared this way:
##   @code argsparse_use_option opt1 "some description" cumulative @endcode
##   and invoked with:
##   @code --opt1 value1 --opt1 value2 @endcode
##   after argsparse_parse_options(), "${cumulated_values_opt1[0]}" will
##   expand to value1, and ${cumulated_values_opt1[1]} will expand to
##   value2.
##
## - cumulativeset @n
##   Exactly like cumulative, except only uniq values are kept. @n
##
##   e.g: for a script with an opt1 option declared this way:
##   @code argsparse_use_option opt1 "some description" cumulativeset @endcode
##   and invoked with:
##   @code --opt1 value1 --opt1 value2 --opt1 value1 @endcode
##   after argsparse_parse_options(), "${cumulated_values_opt1[0]}" will
##   expand to value1, and "${cumulated_values_opt1[1]}" will expand to
##   value2. There would be no "${cumulated_values_opt1[2]}" value.
##
## - "require:<option> <option>" @n
##   Creates a dependency between options. if you declare an option with:
##   @code
##   argsparse_use_option opt1 "something" require:"opt2 opt3"
##   @endcode
##   argsparse_parse_options() would return with an error if "--opt1"
##   is given on the commande line without "--opt2" or without "--opt3".
##
## @par
## You can test if an option has a property using the
## argsparse_has_option_property() function.
## @code argsparse_has_option_property <option> <property> @endcode
##
##
## @par Parsing positionnal parameters
## After the options are declared, invoke the function
## argsparse_parse_options() with the all script parameters. This will
## define:
##
## - program_params, an array, containing all non-option parameters.
##
## - program_options, an associative array. For each record of the
##   array:
##   - The key is the long option name.
##   - And about values:
##     - If option doesn't expect a value on the command line, the
##       value represents how many times the option has been
##       found on the command line
##
##     - If option does require a value, the array record value is the
##       value of the last occurence of the option found on the command
##       line.
##     .
##   - If option is cumulative (or cumulativeset), the array record
##     value is the number of values passed by the user.
##   .
##
## After argsparse_parse_options() invokation, you can check if an
## option have was on the command line (or not) using the
## argsparse_is_option_set() function. @n
##
## e.g:
## @code argsparse_is_option_set "long-option-name" @endcode
##
##
## @par The "usage()" function
## If a 'usage' function is defined, and shall
## argsparse_parse_options() return with non-zero status, 'usage' will
## be automatically called.
##
## @note
## This library automatically defines a default 'usage' function,
## which may be removed or overridden by the sourcing program
## afterwards.
##
## @par Value setting internal logic
## During option parsing, for every option of the form '--optionname'
## expecting a value:
##
## - If there exists an array named "option_<optionname>_values" and
##   the user-given value doesn't belong to that array, then the
##   argsparse_parse_options() function immediately returns with
##   non-zero status, triggering 'usage'.
##
## - If the "option_<optionname>_values" array does not exist, but if
##   the option has a type property field, then the value format will
##   be checked against that type.
##
## - If a function named "check_value_of_<optionname>" has been
##   defined, it will be called with the user-given value as its first
##   positionnal parameter. If check_value_of_<optionname> returns
##   with non-zero status, then parse_option immediately returns with
##   non-zero status, triggering the 'usage' function.
##
## @par
## Also, still during option parsing and for @b every option of the form
## "--optionname":
##
## - After value-checking, if a function named
##   "set_option_<optionname>" exists, then, instead of directly
##   modifying the "program_options" associative array, this function
##   is automatically called with 'optionname' as its first
##   positionnal parameter, and, if 'optionname' expected a value, the
##   value is given as the function second positionnal parameter.
##
## @par About functions return values...
##
## All argsparse functions will return with an error (usually a return
## code of 1) if called with a wrong number of parameters, and return
## with 0 if everything went fine.
