When a single 50argument is given, it should correspond to exactly one of the following: 51 52=over 4 53 54=item * 55 56A string containing the text of a message to print I<before> printing 57the usage message 58 59=item * 60 61A numeric value corresponding to the desired exit status 62 63=item * 64 65A reference to a hash 66 67=back 68 69If more than one argument is given then the entire argument list is 70assumed to be a hash. If a hash is supplied (either as a reference or 71as a list) it should contain one or more elements with the following 72keys: 73 74=over 4 75 76=item C<-message> 77 78=item C<-msg> 79 80The text of a message to print immediately prior to printing the 81program's usage message. 82 83=item C<-exitval> 84 85The desired exit status to pass to the B<exit()> function. 86This should be an integer, or else the string "NOEXIT" to 87indicate that control should simply be returned without 88terminating the invoking process. 89 90=item C<-verbose> 91 92The desired level of "verboseness" to use when printing the usage 93message. If the corresponding value is 0, then only the "SYNOPSIS" 94section of the pod documentation is printed. If the corresponding value 95is 1, then the "SYNOPSIS" section, along with any section entitled 96"OPTIONS", "ARGUMENTS", or "OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS" is printed. If the 97corresponding value is 2 or more then the entire manpage is printed. 98 99The special verbosity level 99 requires to also specify the -section 100parameter; then these sections are extracted (see L<Pod::Select>) 101and printed. 102 103=item C<-section> 104 105A string representing a selection list for sections to be printed 106when -verbose is set to 99, e.g. C<"NAME|SYNOPSIS|DESCRIPTION|VERSION">. 107 108=item C<-output> 109 110A reference to a filehandle, or the pathname of a file to which the 111usage message should be written. The default is C<\*STDERR> unless the 112exit value is less than 2 (in which case the default is C<\*STDOUT>). 113 114=item C<-input> 115 116A reference to a filehandle, or the pathname of a file from which the 117invoking script's pod documentation should be read. It defaults to the 118file indicated by C<$0> (C<$PROGRAM_NAME> for users of F<English.pm>). 119 120=item C<-pathlist> 121 122A list of directory paths. If the input file does not exist, then it 123will be searched for in the given directory list (in the order the 124directories appear in the list). It defaults to the list of directories 125implied by C<$ENV{PATH}>. The list may be specified either by a reference 126to an array, or by a string of directory paths which use the same path 127separator as C<$ENV{PATH}> on your system (e.g., C<:> for Unix, C<;> for 128MSWin32 and DOS). 129 130=item C<-noperldoc> 131 132By default, Pod::Usage will call L<perldoc> when -verbose >= 2 is 133specified. This does not work well e.g. if the script was packed 134with L<PAR>. The -noperldoc option suppresses the external call to 135L<perldoc> and uses the simple text formatter (L<Pod::Text>) to 136output the POD. 137 138=back 139 140=head1 DESCRIPTION 141 142B<pod2usage> will print a usage message for the invoking script (using 143its embedded pod documentation) and then exit the script with the 144desired exit status. The usage message printed may have any one of three 145levels of "verboseness": If the verbose level is 0, then only a synopsis 146is printed. If the verbose level is 1, then the synopsis is printed 147along with a description (if present) of the command line options and 148arguments. If the verbose level is 2, then the entire manual page is 149printed. 150 151Unless they are explicitly specified, the default values for the exit 152status, verbose level, and output stream to use are determined as 153follows: 154 155=over 4 156 157=item * 158 159If neither the exit status nor the verbose level is specified, then the 160default is to use an exit status of 2 with a verbose level of 0. 161 162=item * 163 164If an exit status I<is> specified but the verbose level is I<not>, then the 165verbose level will default to 1 if the exit status is less than 2 and 166will default to 0 otherwise. 167 168=item * 169 170If an exit status is I<not> specified but verbose level I<is> given, then 171the exit status will default to 2 if the verbose level is 0 and will 172default to 1 otherwise. 173 174=item * 175 176If the exit status used is less than 2, then output is printed on 177C<STDOUT>. Otherwise output is printed on C<STDERR>. 178 179=back 180 181Although the above may seem a bit confusing at first, it generally does 182"the right thing" in most situations. This determination of the default 183values to use is based upon the following typical Unix conventions: 184 185=over 4 186 187=item * 188 189An exit status of 0 implies "success". For example, B<diff(1)> exits 190with a status of 0 if the two files have the same contents. 191 192=item * 193 194An exit status of 1 implies possibly abnormal, but non-defective, program 195termination. For example, B<grep(1)> exits with a status of 1 if 196it did I<not> find a matching line for the given regular expression. 197 198=item * 199 200An exit status of 2 or more implies a fatal error. For example, B<ls(1)> 201exits with a status of 2 if you specify an illegal (unknown) option on 202the command line. 203 204=item * 205 206Usage messages issued as a result of bad command-line syntax should go 207to C<STDERR>. However, usage messages issued due to an explicit request 208to print usage (like specifying B<-help> on the command line) should go 209to C<STDOUT>, just in case the user wants to pipe the output to a pager 210(such as B<more(1)>). 211 212=item * 213 214If program usage has been explicitly requested by the user, it is often 215desireable to exit with a status of 1 (as opposed to 0) after issuing 216the user-requested usage message. It is also desireable to give a 217more verbose description of program usage in this case. 218 219=back 220 221B<pod2usage> doesn't force the above conventions upon you, but it will 222use them by default if you don't expressly tell it to do otherwise. The 223ability of B<pod2usage()> to accept a single number or a string makes it 224convenient to use as an innocent looking error message handling function: 225 226 use Pod::Usage; 227 use Getopt::Long; 228 229 ## Parse options 230 GetOptions("help", "man", "flag1") || pod2usage(2); 231 pod2usage(1) if ($opt_help); 232 pod2usage(-verbose => 2) if ($opt_man); 233 234 ## Check for too many filenames 235 pod2usage("$0: Too many files given.\n") if (@ARGV > 1); 236 237Some user's however may feel that the above "economy of expression" is 238not particularly readable nor consistent and may instead choose to do 239something more like the following: 240 241 use Pod::Usage; 242 use Getopt::Long; 243 244 ## Parse options 245 GetOptions("help", "man", "flag1") || pod2usage(-verbose => 0); 246 pod2usage(-verbose => 1) if ($opt_help); 247 pod2usage(-verbose => 2) if ($opt_man); 248 249 ## Check for too many filenames 250 pod2usage(-verbose => 2, -message => "$0: Too many files given.\n") 251 if (@ARGV > 1); 252 253As with all things in Perl, I<there's more than one way to do it>, and 254B<pod2usage()> adheres to this philosophy. If you are interested in 255seeing a number of different ways to invoke B<pod2usage> (although by no 256means exhaustive), please refer to L<"EXAMPLES">. 257 258=head1 EXAMPLES 259 260Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print just the 261"SYNOPSIS" section to C<STDERR> and will exit with a status of 2: 262 263 pod2usage(); 264 265 pod2usage(2); 266 267 pod2usage(-verbose => 0); 268 269 pod2usage(-exitval => 2); 270 271 pod2usage({-exitval => 2, -output => \*STDERR}); 272 273 pod2usage({-verbose => 0, -output => \*STDERR}); 274 275 pod2usage(-exitval => 2, -verbose => 0); 276 277 pod2usage(-exitval => 2, -verbose => 0, -output => \*STDERR); 278 279Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print a message 280of "Syntax error." (followed by a newline) to C<STDERR>, immediately 281followed by just the "SYNOPSIS" section (also printed to C<STDERR>) and 282will exit with a status of 2: 283 284 pod2usage("Syntax error."); 285 286 pod2usage(-message => "Syntax error.", -verbose => 0); 287 288 pod2usage(-msg => "Syntax error.", -exitval => 2); 289 290 pod2usage({-msg => "Syntax error.", -exitval => 2, -output => \*STDERR}); 291 292 pod2usage({-msg => "Syntax error.", -verbose => 0, -output => \*STDERR}); 293 294 pod2usage(-msg => "Syntax error.", -exitval => 2, -verbose => 0); 295 296 pod2usage(-message => "Syntax error.", 297 -exitval => 2, 298 -verbose => 0, 299 -output => \*STDERR); 300 301Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print the 302"SYNOPSIS" section and any "OPTIONS" and/or "ARGUMENTS" sections to 303C<STDOUT> and will exit with a status of 1: 304 305 pod2usage(1); 306 307 pod2usage(-verbose => 1); 308 309 pod2usage(-exitval => 1); 310 311 pod2usage({-exitval => 1, -output => \*STDOUT}); 312 313 pod2usage({-verbose => 1, -output => \*STDOUT}); 314 315 pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 1); 316 317 pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 1, -output => \*STDOUT}); 318 319Each of the following invocations of C<pod2usage()> will print the 320entire manual page to C<STDOUT> and will exit with a status of 1: 321 322 pod2usage(-verbose => 2); 323 324 pod2usage({-verbose => 2, -output => \*STDOUT}); 325 326 pod2usage(-exitval => 1, -verbose => 2); 327 328 pod2usage({-exitval => 1, -verbose => 2, -output => \*STDOUT}); 329 330=head2 Recommended Use 331 332Most scripts should print some type of usage message to C<STDERR> when a 333command line syntax error is detected. They should also provide an 334option (usually C<-H> or C<-help>) to print a (possibly more verbose) 335usage message to C<STDOUT>. Some scripts may even wish to go so far as to 336provide a means of printing their complete documentation to C<STDOUT> 337(perhaps by allowing a C<-man> option). The following complete example 338uses B<Pod::Usage> in combination with B<Getopt::Long> to do all of these 339things: 340 341 use Getopt::Long; 342 use Pod::Usage; 343 344 my $man = 0; 345 my $help = 0; 346 ## Parse options and print usage if there is a syntax error, 347 ## or if usage was explicitly requested. 348 GetOptions('help|?' => \$help, man => \$man) or pod2usage(2); 349 pod2usage(1) if $help; 350 pod2usage(-verbose => 2) if $man; 351 352 ## If no arguments were given, then allow STDIN to be used only 353 ## if it's not connected to a terminal (otherwise print usage) 354 pod2usage("$0: No files given.") if ((@ARGV == 0) && (-t STDIN)); 355 __END__ 356 357 =head1 NAME 358 359 sample - Using GetOpt::Long and Pod::Usage 360 361 =head1 SYNOPSIS 362 363 sample [options] [file ...] 364 365 Options: 366 -help brief help message 367 -man full documentation 368 369 =head1 OPTIONS 370 371 =over 8 372 373 =item B<-help> 374 375 Print a brief help message and exits. 376 377 =item B<-man> 378 379 Prints the manual page and exits. 380 381 =back 382 383 =head1 DESCRIPTION 384 385 B<This program> will read the given input file(s) and do something 386 useful with the contents thereof. 387 388 =cut 389 390=head1 CAVEATS 391 392By default, B<pod2usage()> will use C<$0> as the path to the pod input 393file. Unfortunately, not all systems on which Perl runs will set C<$0> 394properly (although if C<$0> isn't found, B<pod2usage()> will search 395C<$ENV{PATH}> or else the list specified by the C<-pathlist> option). 396If this is the case for your system, you may need to explicitly specify 397the path to the pod docs for the invoking script using something 398similar to the following: 399 400 pod2usage(-exitval => 2, -input => "/path/to/your/pod/docs"); 401 402In the pathological case that a script is called via a relative path 403I<and> the script itself changes the current working directory 404(see L<perlfunc/chdir>) I<before> calling pod2usage, Pod::Usage will 405fail even on robust platforms.
