Subject: [PATCH v3 3/6] tools subcmd: allow parsing distinct --opt and --no-opt
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 12:32:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528103254.2990068-4-tglozar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260528103254.2990068-1-tglozar@redhat.com>
libsubcmd automatically generates for every option --opt an equivalent
negated option, --no-opt, to unset the option. Vice versa, for every
option declared as --no-opt, a shorthand --opt is declared for
convenience.
Add a flag, PARSE_OPT_NOAUTONEG, to disable this behavior. This new flag
behaves similarly to the already existing PARSE_OPT_NONEG, only it does
not reject the --no-opt variant, but leaves it undefined. That is useful
when there is a conflicting distinct --no-opt option in the syntax of
the tool.
PARSE_OPT_NOAUTONEG is enabled per-option, allowing to unset other
options that do not have this conflict.
