// The developers of JMeter and Apache are greatful to the developers
// of HTMLParser for giving Apache Software Foundation a non-exclusive
// license. The performance benefits of HTMLParser are clear and the
// users of JMeter will benefit from the hard work the HTMLParser
// team. For detailed information about HTMLParser, the project is
// hosted on sourceforge at http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/.
//
// HTMLParser was originally created by Somik Raha in 2000. Since then
// a healthy community of users has formed and helped refine the
// design so that it is able to tackle the difficult task of parsing
// dirty HTML. Derrick Oswald is the current lead developer and was kind
// enough to assist JMeter.

/**
 * Simple command like parser/handler.
 * A dashed argument is one preceded by a dash character.
 * In a sequence of arguments:
 * 1) If a dashed argument starts with a command character
 *    the rest of the argument, if any, is assume to be a value.
 * 2) If a dashed argument is followed by a non-dashed
 *    argument value. The value is assumed to be associated
 *    with the preceding dashed argument name.
 * 2) If an argument with a dash prefix is not followed by
 *    a non-dashed value, and does not use a command character,
 *    it is assumed to be a flag.
 * 3) If none of the above is true, the argument is a name.
 *
 * Command characters can be added with the addCommand method.
 * Values can be retrieved with the getValue method.
 * Flag states can be retrieved with the getFlag method.
 * Names can be retieved with the getNameCount and getName methods.
