#define PARAM_DOUBLE_IN (   ID,
  DESC,
  ALIAS,
  DEF 
)    PARAM_IN(double, ID, DESC, ALIAS, DEF, false)

Define a double input parameter.

The parameter can then be specified on the command line with –ID=value.

Parameters
IDName of the parameter.
DESCQuick description of the parameter (1-2 sentences).
ALIASAn alias for the parameter (one letter).
DEFDefault value of the parameter.

mlpack::CLI, PROGRAM_INFO()
Bug:
The COUNTER variable is used in most cases to guarantee a unique global identifier for options declared using the PARAM_*() macros. However, not all compilers have this support–most notably, gcc < 4.3. In that case, the LINE macro is used as an attempt to get a unique global identifier, but collisions are still possible, and they produce bizarre error messages. See https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/issues/100 for more information.

#define PARAM_DOUBLE_OUT (   ID,
  DESC 
)    PARAM_OUT(double, ID, DESC, "", 0.0, false)

Define a double output parameter.

This parameter will be printed on stdout at the end of the program; for instance, if the parameter name is "number" and the value is 5.012, the output on stdout would be of the following form:

1 number: 5.012

If the parameter is not set by the end of the program, a fatal runtime error will be issued.

Parameters

(DEF, ID, DESC, ALIAS, REQ, true, false);
A static object whose constructor registers a parameter with the CLI class.
Definition: option.hpp:32

Define an input parameter.

Don't use this function; use the other ones above that call it. Note that we are using the LINE macro for naming these actual parameters when COUNTER does not exist, which is a bit of an ugly hack... but this is the preprocessor, after all. We don't have much choice other than ugliness.

Parameters
TType of the parameter.
IDName of the parameter.
DESCDescription of the parameter (1-2 sentences).
ALIASAlias for this parameter (one letter).
DEFDefault value of the parameter.
REQWhether or not parameter is required (boolean value).

)    PARAM_MATRIX(ID, DESC, ALIAS, false, true, true)

Define a matrix input parameter.

From the command line, the user can specify the file that holds the matrix, using the name of the matrix parameter with "_file" appended (and the same alias). So for instance, if the name of the matrix parameter was "mat", the user could specify that the "mat" matrix was held in matrix.csv by giving the parameter

#define PARAM_MATRIX_OUT (   ID,
  DESC,
  ALIAS 
)    PARAM_MATRIX(ID, DESC, ALIAS, false, true, false)

Define a matrix output parameter.

When the program terminates, the matrix will be saved to whatever it was set to by CLI::GetParam<arma::mat>(ID) during the program. From the command-line, the user may specify the file in which to save the output matrix using a string option that is the name of the matrix parameter with "_file" appended. So, for instance, if the name of the output matrix parameter was "mat", the user could speicfy that the "mat" matrix should be saved in matrix.csv by giving the parameter

1 --mat_file matrix.csv

The output matrix will not be printed on stdout, like the other output option types.

Parameters
IDName of the parameter.
DESCDescription of the parameter (1-2 sentences).

#define PARAM_MODEL_IN (   TYPE,
  ID,
  DESC,
  ALIAS 
)    PARAM_MODEL(TYPE, ID, DESC, ALIAS, false, true)

Define an input model.

From the command line, the user can specify the file that holds the model, using the name of the model parameter with "_file" appended (and the same alias). So for instance, if the name of the model parameter was "model", the user could specify that the "model" model was held in model.bin by giving the parameter

1 --model_file model.bin

Note that the first parameter of this model is the type (the class name) of the model to be loaded. This model type must have a Serialize() function; a compilation error (a very long and complex one) will result if the model type does not have the following function:

1 template<typename Archive>
2 void Serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version);

This is the boost::serialization serialize() function, just with a capital s for Serialize() (see src/mlpack/core/data/serialization_shim.hpp).

Parameters
TYPEType of the model to be loaded.
IDName of the parameter.
DESCDescription of the parameter.
ALIASAn alias for the parameter (one letter).

#define PARAM_MODEL_OUT (   TYPE,
  ID,
  DESC,
  ALIAS 
)    PARAM_MODEL(TYPE, ID, DESC, ALIAS, false, false)

Define an output model.

From the command line, the user can specify the file that should hold the model, using the name of the model parameter with "_file" appended (and the same alias). So for instance, if the user desires to save the model to model.bin and the parameter name is "model", they could specify

1 --model_file model.bin

The model will be saved at the termination of the program. If you use a parameter of this type, you must call CLI::Destroy() at the end of your program.

Parameters
TYPEType of the model to be saved.
IDName of the parameter.
DESCDescription of the parameter.
ALIASAn alias for the parameter (one letter).

#define PARAM_STRING_IN (   ID,
  DESC,
  ALIAS,
  DEF 
)    PARAM_IN(std::string, ID, DESC, ALIAS, DEF, false)

Define a string input parameter.

The parameter can then be specified on the command line with –ID=value. If ALIAS is equal to DEF_MOD (which is set using the PROGRAM_INFO() macro), the parameter can be specified with just –ID=value.

Parameters
IDName of the parameter.
DESCQuick description of the parameter (1-2 sentences).
ALIASAn alias for the parameter (one letter).

#define PARAM_UMATRIX_IN (   ID,
  DESC,
  ALIAS 
)    PARAM_UMATRIX(ID, DESC, ALIAS, false, true, true)

Define an unsigned matrix input parameter (arma::Mat<size_t>).

From the command line, the user can specify the file that holds the matrix, using the name of the matrix parameter with "_file" appended (and the same alias). So for instance, if the name of the matrix parameter was "mat", the user could specify that the "mat" matrix was held in matrix.csv by giving the parameter

1 --mat_file matrix.csv
Parameters
IDName of the parameter.
DESCDescription of the parameter (1-2 sentences).
ALIASAn alias for the parameter (one letter).
Bug:
The COUNTER variable is used in most cases to guarantee a unique global identifier for options declared using the PARAM_*() macros. However, not all compilers have this support–most notably, gcc < 4.3. In that case, the LINE macro is used as an attempt to get a unique global identifier, but collisions are still possible, and they produce bizarre error messages. See https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/issues/100 for more information.

#define PARAM_UMATRIX_OUT (   ID,
  DESC,
  ALIAS 
)    PARAM_UMATRIX(ID, DESC, ALIAS, false, true, false)

Define an unsigned matrix output parameter (arma::Mat<size_t>).

When the program terminates, the matrix will be saved to whatever it was set to by CLI::GetParam<arma::Mat<size_t>>(ID) during the program. From the command-line, the user may specify the file in which to save the output matrix using a string option that is the name of the matrix parameter with "_file" appended. So, for instance, if the name of the output matrix parameter was "mat", the user could speicfy that the "mat" matrix should be saved in matrix.csv by giving the parameter

1 --mat_file matrix.csv

The output matrix will not be printed on stdout, like the other output option types.

Parameters
IDName of the parameter.
DESCDescription of the parameter (1-2 sentences).
ALIASAn alias for the parameter (one letter).

)    PARAM_IN(std::vector<T>, ID, DESC, ALIAS, std::vector<T>(), false)

Define a vector input parameter.

The parameter can then be specified on the command line with –ID=value1,value2,value3.

Parameters
IDName of the parameter.
DESCQuick description of the parameter (1-2 sentences).
ALIASAn alias for the parameter (one letter).
DEFDefault value of the parameter.

#define PARAM_VECTOR_OUT (   T,
  ID 
)    PARAM_OUT(std::vector<T>, ID, DESC, "", std::vector<T>(), false)

Define a vector output parameter.

This vector will be printed on stdout at the end of the program; for instance, if the parameter name is "vector" and the vector holds the array { 1, 2, 3, 4 }, the output on stdout would be of the following form:

1 vector: 1, 2, 3, 4

If the parameter is not set by the end of the program, a fatal runtime error will be issued.

Parameters
IDName of the parameter.
DESCQuick description of the parameter (1-2 sentences).

Value:
static mlpack::util::ProgramDoc \
cli_programdoc_dummy_object = mlpack::util::ProgramDoc(NAME, DESC);
A static object whose constructor registers program documentation with the CLI class.
Definition: option.hpp:71

Document an executable.

Only one instance of this macro should be present in your program! Therefore, use it in the main.cpp (or corresponding executable) in your program.

Parameters
NAMEShort string representing the name of the program.
DESCLong string describing what the program does and possibly a simple usage example. Newlines should not be used here; this is taken care of by CLI (however, you can explicitly specify newlines to denote new paragraphs).

Definition at line 49 of file param.hpp.

#define TUPLE_TYPE   std::tuple<mlpack::data::DatasetInfo, arma::mat>

Define an input DatasetInfo/matrix parameter.

From the command line, the user can specify the file that holds the matrix, using the name of the matrix parameter with "_file" appended (and the same alias). So for instance, if the name of the matrix parameter was "matrix", the user could specify that the "matrix" matrix was held in file.csv by giving the parameter

1 --matrix_file file.csv

Then the DatasetInfo and matrix type could be accessed with

1 DatasetInfo d = std::move(
2  CLI::GetParam<std::tuple<arma::mat, DatasetInfo>>("matrix").get<0>());
3 arma::mat m = std::move(
4  CLI::GetParam<std::tuple<arma::mat, DatasetInfo>>("matrix").get<1>());
Parameters
IDName of the parameter.
DESCQuick description of the parameter (1-2 sentences).
ALIASOne-character string representing the alias of the parameter.
