All Classes and Interfaces

Class
Description
Abstract annotation processor for @picocli.* annotations that produces a set of CommandLine.Model.CommandSpec objects built from the annotated source code.
Implementation of the CommandLine.Model.IGetter and CommandLine.Model.ISetter interface that allows custom CommandSpec annotation processors to inspect ArgSpec objects to discover what program element was annotated with @Option or @Parameters.
Utility class providing some defensive coding convenience methods.
Stand-alone tool that generates bash auto-complete scripts for picocli-based command line applications.
Command that generates a Bash/ZSH completion script for its top-level command.
CommandLine interpreter that uses reflection to initialize an annotated user object with values obtained from the command line arguments.
A Command may define one or more ArgGroups: a group of options, positional parameters or a mixture of the two.
Annotate your class with @Command when you want more control over the format of the generated help message.
Exception indicating that multiple named elements have incorrectly used the same name.
Exception indicating that multiple fields have been annotated with the same Option name.
Exception indicating a problem while invoking a command or subcommand.
Defines some exit codes used by picocli as default return values from the execute and executeHelpRequest methods.
A collection of methods and inner classes that provide fine-grained control over the contents and layout of the usage help message to display to end users when help is requested or invalid input values were specified.
Provides methods and inner classes to support using ANSI escape codes in usage help messages.
Defines the interface for an ANSI escape sequence.
A set of pre-defined ANSI escape code styles and colors, and a set of convenience methods for parsing text with embedded markup style names, as well as convenience methods for converting styles to strings with embedded escape codes.
All usage help message are generated with a color scheme that assigns certain styles and colors to common parts of a usage message: the command name, options, positional parameters and option parameters.
Builder class to create ColorScheme instances.
Columns define the width, indent (leading number of spaces in a column before the value) and Overflow policy of a column in a TextTable.
Policy for handling text that is longer than the column width: span multiple columns, wrap to the next row, or simply truncate the portion that doesn't fit.
When customizing online help for Option details, a custom IOptionRenderer can be used to create textual representation of an Option in a tabular format: one or more rows, each containing one or more columns.
When customizing online help for positional parameters details, a custom IParameterRenderer can be used to create textual representation of a Parameters field in a tabular format: one or more rows, each containing one or more columns.
When customizing online usage help for an option parameter or a positional parameter, a custom IParamLabelRenderer can be used to render the parameter name or label to a String.
Use a Layout to format usage help text for options and parameters in tabular format.

Classes implementing this interface know how to handle Exceptions that occurred while executing the Runnable, Callable or Method user object of the command.
Implementations are responsible for "executing" the user input and returning an exit code.
Interface that provides the appropriate exit code that will be returned from the execute method for an exception that occurred during parsing or while invoking the command's Runnable, Callable, or Method.
@Command-annotated classes can implement this interface to specify an exit code that will be returned from the execute method when the command is successfully invoked.
Factory for instantiating classes that are registered declaratively with annotation attributes, like CommandLine.Command.subcommands(), CommandLine.Option.converter(), CommandLine.Parameters.converter() and CommandLine.Command.versionProvider().
Help commands that provide usage help for other commands can implement this interface to be initialized with the information they need.
Creates the CommandLine.Help instance used to render the usage help message.
Renders a section of the usage help message.
Provides a way to modify how the command model is built.
Determines the option name transformation of negatable boolean options.
Exception indicating a problem during CommandLine initialization.
Options or positional parameters can be assigned a IParameterConsumer that implements custom logic to process the parameters for this option or this position.
Classes implementing this interface know how to handle ParameterExceptions (usually from invalid user input).
Options, positional parameters and commands can be assigned a IParameterPreprocessor that implements custom logic to preprocess the parameters for this option, position or command.
Deprecated.
When parsing command line arguments and initializing fields annotated with @Option or @Parameters, String values can be converted to any type for which a ITypeConverter is registered.
Provides version information for a command.
Exception indicating that more values were specified for an option or parameter than its arity allows.
Exception indicating that a required parameter was not specified.
Exception indicating that an annotated field had a type for which no CommandLine.ITypeConverter was registered.
Fields annotated with @Mixin are "expanded" into the current command: @Option and @Parameters in the mixin class are added to the options and positional parameters of this command.
This class provides a namespace for classes and interfaces that model concepts and attributes of command line interfaces in picocli.
The ArgGroupSpec class models a group of arguments (options, positional parameters or a mixture of the two).
Builder responsible for creating valid ArgGroupSpec objects.
The CommandSpec class models a command specification, including the options, positional parameters and subcommands supported by the command, as well as attributes for the version help message and the usage help message of the command.
Internal interface to allow annotation processors to construct a command model at compile time.
Interface to allow extending the capabilities of other interface without Java 8 default methods.
Customizable getter for obtaining the current value of an option or positional parameter.
Interface for sorting options and groups together.
The scope of a getter/setter binding is the context where the current value should be gotten from or set to.
This interface provides access to an CommandLine.Model.IScope instance.
Customizable setter for modifying the value of an option or positional parameter.
Encapculates type information for an option or parameter to make this information available both at runtime and at compile time (when Class values are not available).
Utility class for getting resource bundle strings.
Command method parameter, similar to java.lang.reflect.Parameter (not available before Java 8).
The OptionSpec class models aspects of a named option of a command, including whether it is required or optional, the option parameters supported (or required) by the option, and attributes for the usage help message describing the option.
Builder responsible for creating valid OptionSpec objects.

The PositionalParamSpec class models aspects of a positional parameter of a command, including whether it is required or optional, and attributes for the usage help message describing the positional parameter.

This class allows applications to specify a custom binding that will be invoked for unmatched arguments.
Models the usage help message specification and can be used to customize the usage help message.
