byteOption function

int? byteOption(String longName, String? shortName, String argument)

Tests whether the argument has the longName or the shortName and byte value given by an int an a unit. Returns the int value. Throws OptionException on error. longName: the long name to inspect, e.g. 'max-size' shortName: the short name to inspect, e.g. 'm' argument: argument to inspect, e.g. '--max-size=50G'

Implementation

  } else if (argument.startsWith('--$longName=')) {
    value = argument.substring(longName.length + 3);
  } else if (shortName != null && argument.startsWith('-$shortName')) {
    value = argument.substring(2);
  }

    }
    rc = int.parse(matcher.group(1) ?? '');
    var unit = matcher.group(2)?.toLowerCase();
    if (unit != null && unit != '') {
      var factor = unit.length > 1 && unit[1] == 'i' ? 1024 : 1000;
