summarize(sdone = {}, ldone = {}, width = 1, max = width - 1, indent = "") { |indent| ... } click to toggle source

Produces the summary text. Each line of the summary is yielded to the block (without newline).

sdone: Already summarized short style options keyed hash.
ldone: Already summarized long style options keyed hash.
width: Width of left side (option part). In other words, the right side (description part) starts after width columns.
max: Maximum width of left side -> the options are filled within max columns.
indent: Prefix string indents all summarized lines.

# File lib/optparse.rb, line 603
