Class OutputStreamOption

java.lang.Object

org.kohsuke.args4j.opts.StringOption

org.kohsuke.args4j.opts.OutputStreamOption

All Implemented Interfaces:

CmdLineOption

public class OutputStreamOption
extends StringOption

Option used as an OutputStream or Writer.

The option takes one parameter and recognize that as a File, unless the parameter is '-', which is treated as System.out.

For example, users can write "-log build.log" and you can open this file as an OutputStream, or they can write "-log -" to send it to console.

If the option is unspecified, this will create OutputStream that just discard the input.

This class can be extended to set the default output to change the interpretation of the unspecified state and "-".
