Method Detail

values

public static CommandLine.Help.Ansi[] 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 (CommandLine.Help.Ansi c : CommandLine.Help.Ansi.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CommandLine.Help.Ansi 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

enabled

public boolean enabled()

Returns true if ANSI escape codes should be emitted, false otherwise.

Returns:

ON: true, OFF: false, AUTO: if system property "picocli.ansi" is defined then return its boolean value, otherwise return whether the platform supports ANSI escape codes

apply

public CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text apply(java.lang.String plainText,
                               java.util.List<CommandLine.Help.Ansi.IStyle> styles)
