check whether 'argValue' points to command file and parse content if so.

This is a Windows-specific version supporting wide char encoding (UTF-16).

Remarks
  this method is only available if OS is windows (not mingw) and MSC6 is not used for building.

## ◆ parseLine() [1/2]

E_ParseStatus OFCommandLine::parseLine | ( | int | argCount,
|  | char * | argValue[],
|  | const int | flags = 0,
|  | const int | startPos = 1 )

parses specified command line arguments (argc, argv).

Sets 'WideCharMode' to OFFalse. Additionally, create internal structures for evaluation and return status indicating any errors that occurred during the parse process.

Parameters

  argCount | number of command line arguments stored in argValue
  argValue | array where the command line arguments are stored
  flags | optional flags affecting the parse process (see PF_xxx below)
  startPos | index of first argument which should be parsed (starting from 0, default: 1)

Returns
  status of parse process, PS_Normal if successful (use getStatusString() for error string). If an exclusive option is used, the status code PS_ExclusiveOption is returned.

## ◆ parseLine() [2/2]

E_ParseStatus OFCommandLine::parseLine | ( | int | argCount,

|  | const int | startPos = 1 )

parses specified command line arguments (argc, argv).

Sets 'WideCharMode' to OFTrue. This is a Windows-specific version supporting the wide character encoding (UTF-16). Internally, all character strings are stored in UTF-8, because this Unicode encoding is supported by DICOM. However, there are getValue() and getParam() methods that allow for accessing filenames with wide character encoding (UTF-16). Additionally, create internal structures for evaluation and return status indicating any errors that occurred during the parse process.

Remarks
  this method is only available if OS is windows (not mingw) and MSC6 is not used for building.

Parameters

  argCount | number of command line arguments stored in argValue
  argValue | array where the command line arguments are stored
  flags | optional flags affecting the parse process (see PF_xxx below)
  startPos | index of first argument which should be parsed (starting from 0, default: 1)

Returns
  status of parse process, PS_Normal if successful (use getStatusString() for error string). If an exclusive option is used, the status code PS_ExclusiveOption is returned.
