Member Function Documentation

◆ set_sub_option_value()

void GOption::set_sub_option_value	(	const string &	subkey,
		const string &	subvalue
	)

For example, a command-line argument like "-verbosity.general=2" will update the sub–option identified by "general" within the "verbosity" option.

Parameters

subkey	The sub–option key to update.
subvalue	The new value for the sub–option, given as a string.

For options that are structured as maps or sequences of maps, this function updates a single sub–option (e.g. for "-debug.general=true", it updates the "general" key within "debug").

Parameters

subkey	The key within the option to update.
subvalue	The new value for the sub–option as a string.
