/**
|
|
* @file
|
|
*
|
|
* The "show help" subsystem (SHS) in Open MPI is intended to help the
|
|
* developer convey meaningful information to the user (read longer
|
|
* than is convenient in a single printf), particularly when errors
|
|
* occur. The SHS allows the storage of arbitrary-length help
|
|
* messages in text files which can be parameterized by text filename,
|
|
* message name, POSIX locale, and printf()-style parameters (e.g.,
|
|
* "%s", "%d", etc.). Note that the primary purpose of the SHS is to
|
|
* display help messages, but it can actually be used to display any
|
|
* arbitrary text messages.
|
|
*
|
|
* The function opal_show_help() is used to find a help message and
|
|
* display it. Its important parameters are a filename, message name,
|
|
* and printf()-style varargs parameters used to substitute into the
|
|
* message.
|
|
*
|
|
* There's work pending about i18n-like support (nothing near as
|
|
* complex as GNU gettext -- just a simple mechanism that may be
|
|
* used). But I won't describe it here until/if it's actually used.
|
|
* So right now, the file lookup is quite straightforward -- the
|
|
* caller passes in the filename to find the help message, and the SHS
|
|
* looks for that file in $pkgdatadir (typically
|
|
* $prefix/share/openmpi).
|
|
*
|
|
* Once the file is successfully opened, the SHS looks for the
|
|
* appropriate help message to display. It looks for the message name
|
|
* in the file, reads in the message, and displays it. printf()-like
|
|
* substitutions are performed (e.g., %d, %s, etc.) --
|
|
* opal_show_help() takes a variable legnth argument list that are
|
|
* used for these substitutions.
|
|
*
|
|
* The format of the help file is simplistic:
|
|
*
|
|
* - Comments begin with #. Any characters after a # on a line are
|
|
* ignored. It is not possible to escape a #.
|
|
* - Message names are on a line by themselves and marked with [].
|
|
* Names can be any ASCII string within the [] (excluding the
|
|
* characters newline, linefeed, [, ], and #).
|
|
* - Messages are any characters between message names and/or the end
|
|
* of the file.
|
|
*
|
|
* Here's a sample helpfile:
|
|
*
|
|
* \verbatimbegin
|
|
* # This is a comment.
|
|
* [topic 1]
|
|
* Here's the first message. Let's substitute in an integer: %d.
|
|
* The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy %s.
|
|
* # This is another comment -- it's not displayed in the first message.
|
|
* [another:topic:foo:foo:foo]
|
|
* This is the second message. Let's just keep rolling along to get
|
|
* to the second line in the message for this example.
|
|
* \verbatimend
|
|
*
|
|
* It is expected that help messages will be grouped by filename;
|
|
* similar messages should be in a single file. For example, an MCA
|
|
* component may install its own helpfile in Open MPI's $pkgdatadir,
|
|
* and therefore the component can invoke opal_show_help() to display
|
|
* its own help messages.
|
|
*
|
|
* Message files in $pkgdatadir have a naming convention: they
|
|
* generally start with the prefix "help-" and are followed by a name
|
|
* descriptive of what kind of messages they contain. MCA components
|
|
* should generally abide by the MCA prefix rule, with the exception
|
|
* that they should start the filename with "help-", as mentioned
|
|
* previously.
