Network Docopt

network-docopt

NetworkDocopt is a command line argument parser for networking focused applications. This was heavily inspired by the docopt module at http://docopt.org/ (no code from docopt was used however). The key differences are:

• Support for partial command line options. If your program foo has a “foo show summary” option you can also enter “foo sh sum”

• Support for integration into bash’s auto-complete mechanism

Example

• See network-docopt-example for an example of how to use this module

• For bash <tab> auto-completion and bash <tab><tab> “show me available options” you must create a small bash script in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ like so:

• cp completions/network-docopt-example /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/

This bash script will call network-docopt-example with ‘options’ as the last argument. For instance if you type “network-docopt-example show ip ” the bash script will call “network-docopt-example show ip options” which will return “route” and “interface”. This tells bash what the next options are.
