This is a lightweight C++ option parser library, supporting the standard GNU
|
||
|
|
style syntax for options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options can be given as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--long
|
||
|
|
--long=argument
|
||
|
|
--long argument
|
||
|
|
-a
|
||
|
|
-ab
|
||
|
|
-abc argument
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where c takes an argument, but a and b do not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to use:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <cxxopts.hpp>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create a cxxopts::Options instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cxxopts::Options options;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then use add_options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
options.add_options()
|
||
|
|
("d,debug", "Enable debugging")
|
||
|
|
("f,file", "File name", cxxopts::value<std::string>())
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options can be declared with a short and/or long option. A description must be
|
||
|
|
provided. The third argument is the value, if omitted it is boolean.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To parse the command line do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
options.parse(argc, argv);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To retrieve an option use options.count("option") to get the number of times
|
||
|
|
it appeared, and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
options["opt"].as<type>()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to get its value. If "opt" doesn't exist, or isn't of the right type, then an
|
||
|
|
exception will be thrown.
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
== TODO list ==
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Remove parsed options.
|
||
|
|
* Allow unrecognised options.
|
||
|
|
* Multiple occurences of options store in vector.
