Glib::O...nContext(3)

πŸ’… Glib::OptionContext β€” bestie edition

okay so real talk, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's the manual name, iykyk, it's the hand-written/perl-doc corner of the man pages, not the core GNU stuff) and the star of the show is Glib::OptionContext, which defines options accepted by the commandline option parser. that's it. that's the whole job. she's the vibe-check bouncer at the door of your CLI, deciding which flags get in πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

Glib::OptionContext β€” defines options accepted by the commandline option parser ✨

like, literally her entire personality is "these are the options my parser will accept," and honestly? iconic. no cap.


πŸ¦‹ HIERARCHY πŸ¦‹

she's a boxed type, and here's the family tree, fr fr:

  Glib::Boxed
  +----Glib::OptionContext

so yeah β€” Glib::OptionContext is a Glib::Boxed descendant, sitting pretty one level down πŸ‘‘

  • Glib β€” the parent universe, go say hi 🌈
  • Glib::Boxed β€” the boxed-ness she inherited, the whole reason that hierarchy diagram slaps πŸ’œ
