[jira] Created: (CLI-160) Partial matching for long options
Partial matching for long options
---------------------------------
Key: CLI-160
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-160
Project: Commons CLI
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Parser
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
Fix For: 1.3
Partial matching is a common feature among command line processing tools. It allows to use shorter option names as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous.
For example on Debian
{noformat}ls --he{noformat}
is equivalent to
{noformat}ls --help{noformat}
but
{noformat}ls --h{noformat}
returns the error "option `--h' is ambiguous", because 'h' is also the prefix of the --hide option.

Emmanuel Bourg resolved CLI-160.

This is fully implemented in the DefaultParser. Even for long options starting with a single dash (-ver) or having an argument (-verbo=9).
