Method Summary
protected String[]	flatten(Options options, String[] arguments, boolean stopAtNonOption) This flatten method does so using the following rules: If an Option exists for the first character of the `arguments` entry AND an Option does not exist for the whole `argument` then add the first character as an option to the processed tokens list e.g.
void	init() Resets the members to their original state i.e. remove all of `tokens` entries.

Method Detail

flatten

This flatten method does so using the following rules:

If an Option exists for the first character of the arguments entry AND an Option does not exist for the whole argument then add the first character as an option to the processed tokens list e.g. "-D" and add the rest of the entry to the also.
Otherwise just add the token to the processed tokens list.

Parameters: options The Options to parse the arguments by. arguments The arguments that have to be flattened. stopAtNonOption specifies whether to stop flattening when a non option has been encountered

Returns: a String array of the flattened arguments

init

Resets the members to their original state i.e. remove all of tokens entries.
