Detailed Description

Specify how many args a command can take.

By convention, argc_min() and argc_max() INCLUDE the zero'th argument (i.e. the command name) in the arg count. Thus a command that takes no parameters would have an arg count of 1. If is_exact() is true, then the argc of a command invocation is required to be exactly equal either argc_min() or argc_max(); if it is false, then argc must be between argc_min() and argc_max(), inclusive.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

tcl::arg_spec::arg_spec ( int  nmin,
int  nmax = -1,
bool  ex = false 
) [inline, explicit]

Construct with initial values for m_argc_min/m_argc_max/m_is_exact.

If the value given for nmax is negative, then m_argc_max will be set to the same value as nmin.
