provide -o / --output parameter #2

Closed n7s closed 5 years ago

n7s commented 6 years ago

When doing multiple chained runs of grcompiler (.i.e in a CI environment), the default output file for errors gdlerr.txt gets overwritten. Can we please have an -o / --output parameter to name the output file? Smith (or other tools) can then use that parameter to write a file with the name of the font file in question.

I would prefer -l / --log (for logging) rather than -o, since the output of grcompiler is a font, not a log file :)

I agree... -o is not appropriate. We already have an -offsets option. -l would be okay, or maybe -e for error file? To me "logging" sounds like something optional.

By the way, we are not right now supporting the letter and word versions of the options. We only support one form.

-l for "logfile", not for "logging".

If -l not supplied, then use 'gdlerr.txt'

I decided on -e for various reasons.

Implemented using -e.
