Module Cmdlang_stdlib_runner.Positional_state

A mutable state that will collect parsing information for positional arguments.

This state is compiled from the AST representation of the command line and is used to collect and store the values of positional arguments during the calls to Arg.anon_fun.

module One_pos : sig ... end
module Pos_all : sig ... end
type t = {
  1. pos : One_pos.packed array;
  2. pos_all : Pos_all.packed option;
  3. mutable current_pos : int;
}
val make : pos:One_pos.packed list -> pos_all:Pos_all.packed option -> t Cmdlang_ast.Ast.or_error_msg
val anon_fun : t -> Stdlib.Arg.anon_fun

Update the positional state based on the parsing of the next positional argument in the command line.
