+ \class QCommandLineOption
+ \brief The QCommandLineOption class defines a possible command-line option.
+ \inmodule QtCore
+ \ingroup shared
+ \ingroup tools
+
+ This class is used to describe an option on the command line. It allows
+ different ways of defining the same option with multiple aliases possible.
+ It is also used to describe how the option is used - it may be a flag (e.g. \c{-v})
+ or take an argument (e.g. \c{-o file}).
+
+ Examples:
+ \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qcommandlineoption.cpp 0
+
+ \sa QCommandLineParser
+*/
+
+/*!
+ Constructs a command line option object with the given arguments.
+
+ The name of the option is set to \a name.
+ The name can be either short or long. If the name is one character in
+ length, it is considered a short name. Option names must not be empty,
+ must not start with a dash or a slash character, must not contain a \c{=}
+ and cannot be repeated.
+
+ The description is set to \a description. It is customary to add a "."
+ at the end of the description.
+
+ In addition, the \a valueName can be set if the option expects a value.
+ The default value for the option is set to \a defaultValue.
