C++ Command Line Library

by Christian Neise

Version 0.3 - January 12, 2003

This CmdLine library provides a framework for handling command line options and arguments. Either variables (of any type) are set to values given at the command line. Or user defined functions are called with arguments (of any type) read from the command line.

It was developed and tested using kdevelop 2.1 and gcc 2.95.3 on SuSE Linux 7.3.

Features

• Easy extraction of command line arguments
• Automatic conversion of command line arguments to any type (even user defined classes)
• Convenient handling of command line usage errors by exceptions
• Complete documentation
• And all this is absolutely free :-)
