Function `std.getopt.defaultGetoptPrinter`

This function prints the passed Options and text in an aligned manner on stdout.


						
				void defaultGetoptPrinter
				(
				

				  string text,
				

				  Option[] opt
				

				);

The passed text will be printed first, followed by a newline, then the short and long version of every option will be printed. The short and long version will be aligned to the longest option of every Option passed. If the option is required, then "Required:" will be printed after the long version of the Option. If a help message is present it will be printed next. The format is illustrated by this code:

foreach (it; opt)
{
    writefln("%*s %*s%s%s", lengthOfLongestShortOption, it.optShort,
        lengthOfLongestLongOption, it.optLong,
        it.required ? " Required: " : " ", it.help);
}

Parameters

Name	Description
text	The text to printed at the beginning of the help output.
opt	The `Option` extracted from the `getopt` parameter.
