Commands
========
.. _cmd: https://docs.python.org/3/library/cmd.html
How to create a command with a ``do_command`` method,
Parsed statements
-----------------
``cmd2`` passes ``arg`` to a ``do_`` method (or ``default``) as a Statement, a
subclass of string that includes many attributes of the parsed input:
command
Name of the command called
args
The arguments to the command with output redirection
or piping to shell commands removed
command_and_args
A string of just the command and the arguments, with
output redirection or piping to shell commands removed
argv
A list of arguments a-la ``sys.argv``, including
the command as ``argv[0]`` and the subsequent
arguments as additional items in the list.
Quotes around arguments will be stripped as will
any output redirection or piping portions of the command
raw
Full input exactly as typed.
terminator
Character used to end a multiline command
If ``Statement`` does not contain an attribute, querying for it will return
``None``.
(Getting ``arg`` as a ``Statement`` is technically "free", in that it requires
no application changes from the cmd_ standard, but there will be no result
unless you change your application to *use* any of the additional attributes.)
