  - ### Method Detail

    - #### main

          public static void main(String[] args)

    - #### addOption

          public void addOption(CommandlineParameter option)
                         throws IllegalArgumentException

      Adds `CommandlineParameter` to list of available parameters
      Parameters:
        `option` - a `CommandlineParameter` that should be added
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - is thrown when the same option (either same name or same short-letter) exists in the defined list.

    - #### addOptions

          public void addOptions(List<CommandlineParameter> options)

      Add collection of `CommandlineParameter` to available options. Calls internally `addOption(tigase.util.ui.console.CommandlineParameter)`
      Parameters:
        `options` - collection of `CommandlineParameter` to be added.

    - #### getHelp

          public String getHelp()

      Generates help output with default instruction.
      Returns:
        String with default instruction.

    - #### getHelp

          public String getHelp(String executionCommand)

      Parameters:
        `executionCommand` - an example of the execution command, for example `$ java -cp \"jars/*.jar\" tigase.util.DBSchemaLoader [options]`

      Parameters:
        `letter` - single-letter identification of the `CommandlineParameter`
      Returns:
        an Optional `CommandlineParameter` that matches passed letter.

    - #### getTask

          public Optional<Task> getTask()

    - #### isInteractiveMode

          public boolean isInteractiveMode()

    - #### parseArgs

          public Properties parseArgs(String[] args)

      Main parsing method which takes as an input array of parameters and returns a Properties object with parsed parameter/values. It supports both single letter format (`-X value` as well as full name (`--name=value`). In case no value for defined option was passed but it's defined as required and contains default value it will be included in the resulting Properties. If interactive mode is enabled, there will be a prompt for all missing options (defined but not included in passed parameter)
      Parameters:
        `args` - an input array of parameters and defined values.
      Returns:
        Properties with parameter/value pairs matching defined options.

    - #### removeOption

      Removes given option from list of supported options by it's single letter
      Parameters:
        `singleLetter` - identification of the option

    - #### removeOptionByName

          public void removeOptionByName(String name)
