Collaborating in the exhale project – Part 2
Hi everyone,
Yesterday, I began working on my second collaboration for the exhale xHE-AAC USAC encoder. This time, I worked on adding an argument to print the software version on the console.
The above is the main software, printing its information as well as how to use it.
There was no option to print the version only. Ideally, I just wanted a way to print something like exhale version 1.0.3 .....so that I can easily parse it as I do with other tools like Opusenc and Flac. Because of this, I began working on adding this functionality.
The code that performs this will check if there is just one argument (actually 2, since the first one is the executable filename). It also checks if the argument is either -v or -V. If this is true, we print the software information to the user:
This is the result:
A very simple and minimalistic output. Thanks to this, I can parse it and use on tools like my upcoming exchale GUI:
This Merge Request was approved and merged and is ready to use for everyone. As for the GUI, expect it in the next couple of days!
