All Implemented Interfaces:

public class AmbiguousOptionException
extends CommandLineException

Exception signaling that an option could be matched against multiple accepted options. This will occur if UltraGetopt is set to attempt partial matching of options and encounters an option which can be matched against multiple long options. For example, the option "-out" could be matched against the "--output" or "--outlet" options and there is no reasonable way to determine which option was intended.
