Detailed Description

template<typename t>
struct seqan3::custom::argument_parsing< t >

A type that can be specialised to provide customisation point implementations for the seqan3::argument_parser such that third party types may be adapted.

Template Parameters
tThe type you wish to specialise for.

Named Enumerations

In order to use a third party type within the seqan3::argument_parser::add_option or seqan3::argument_parser::add_positional_option call, you can specialise this struct in the following way:

seqan3::argument_parser parser{"my_program", argc, argv};
// Because of the argument_parsing struct and
// the static member function enumeration_names
// you can now add an option that takes a value of type std::errc:
parser.add_option(value,
'e',
"errc",
"Give me a std::errc value.",
seqan3::value_list_validator{(seqan3::enumeration_names<std::errc> | std::views::values)});
try
{
parser.parse();
}
catch (seqan3::argument_parser_error const & ext) // the user did something wrong
{
std::cerr << "[PARSER ERROR] " << ext.what() << "\n"; // customize your error message
return -1;

Please note that by default the t const, t & and t const & specialisations of this class inherit the specialisation for t so you usually only need to provide a specialisation for t.

Note
Only use this if you cannot provide respective functions in your namespace. See the tutorial Parsing command line arguments with Sharg for an example of customising a type within your own namespace.
