Scanning for Options in C

Name: Anonymous 2010-10-29 4:12

Hi guys. I was wondering what the most common way to check for options, declared with '-' at the command line, is in C. For example: prog -a filename would run the program prog with the -a option. I assume it involves scanning with getopt. Thanks.

You assume correctly. Now, what was the point of your thread again?

I wrote my own piece of code that has more sane structure for describing options, supports --long-args and can generate usage message automatically.

So you wrote another getopt clone that does the same thing as every other getopt clone in history?

His version has support for ``--long-args''.

-1 for quoting your own post.

No, it also supports --long-args and prints usage message, and usage for options is in the same struct as options themselves, and it also does pretty text-wrapping while printing usage.
