[PATCH 1/2] cli: Parsing. Add option NOTMUCH_OPT_INT_OR_BOOLEAN

Mark Walters markwalters1009 at gmail.com
Thu Mar 8 14:15:43 PST 2012


Allow the option NOTMUCH_OPT_INT_OR_BOOLEAN for command line parsing
which accepts --verbose=3 and --verbose with the latter setting
verbose to 1. It also allows --verbose=0 so (with a little caller
support) user can turn off boolean options.

This means that extra options can be added to the command line
programs in a backwards compatible manner.
