Argument.Type (edigen 1.5.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Argument.Type>
- - net.emustudio.edigen.ui.Argument.Type

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Argument.Type>

Enclosing class:

Argument
```
public static enum Argument.Type
extends java.lang.Enum<Argument.Type>
```
An argument type.
If arg1 is a mandatory argument, -arg2 value2 is a value and -arg3 is a flag, this is an example of a valid command line input:
```
program arg1 -arg2 value2 -arg3
```
The order of value and flag arguments is irrelevant. Mandatory arguments must occur in the specified order, but they can interleave with other parameters.

  - MANDATORY
```
public static final Argument.Type MANDATORY
```
    A mandatory argument.
  - VALUE
```
public static final Argument.Type VALUE
```
    An argument with one value (for example -v value).
  - FLAG
```

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Argument.Type[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (Argument.Type c : Argument.Type.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Argument.Type valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
