[Bug 844607] Re: Create CLI Framework/Libraries

 

I've been pondering whether the log_exit should go with the other error functions (e.g. log_debug) in lib/errors.php.
We currently have no log_die, and I doubt we want one except for CLI stuff (correct me if I'm wrong). Setting the exit code is very CLI specific. Therefore I've been toying with a function
  function cli_exit($message, $error = false)

Title:
  Create CLI Framework/Libraries

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I've been having a look at bug #844604. Rather than re-inventing the wheel every time we want to do a CLI system, I propose that we create a CLI library
  lib/cli.php

  This should ideally give functionality for:
  * retrieve arguments supplied on the CLI (e.g. --agree-to-license=yes --upgrade-only -p=letmein -e=foo@xxxxxxxxxxx)
  * add a log_exit or equivelant which would exit with the appropriate exit code (0 = success, 127 = error, other supplied ints in range) and exit - e.g. cli_exit().
