getopt under windows

[Friedrich Dominicus]

Hi.

Any chances that there is a similar thing to *nix's getopt() under
windows? (It doesn't actually have to be too nifty, the requirement is
just that it is stable.)

The glib contains something similiar visit pages below
http://www.gtk.org/

and libapr has something in that area also:
http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/1.2/group__apr__getopt.html

Regards
Friedrich

The obvious thing is: Google is your friend.

/OT - I used getopts() in Windows all the time - under Cygwin - /OT

(I don't know if there is a "native" API for it - Google [or MSDN] will
tell you)

The lcc-win32 compiler has getopt() as part of its standard
library. If interested I can mail you the source.

No it's not. Google hates me.

That would be nice. For my mail address, strip everything before the "@"
sign from the address and replace it with "sunside".

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I'll have a look!

NetBSD/OpenBSD getopt(); getopt.h signature:

/* $NetBSD: getopt.h,v 1.4 2000/07/07 10:43:54 ad Exp $ */

I had to fine tune some things to make it work with VC++, but it now
works like a charm.

Thanks alot!

Take a look at XGetopt: http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/xgetopt.asp

Or even better, if you are using C++, there is Boost.Program_options
library which is portable: http://www.boost.org/doc/html/program_options.html

getopt is pretty simple. Why not just implement it yourself?

Damn, I always forget about Boost. I'll have a look at that, too.
Thanks!

There are getopt() variants available as source code all over the net.

My favorite is my_getopt:

Next time, when you are looking for source code, do a web search.

Asking to do it for you is annoyingly lazy.

Ypu seem to have found what you are looking for.
There's an options parser on my website that does error-checking for you.
However it works in rather a different way to getopt(). I'd like to think
better.

Yeah, I found that before but I forgot to mention that the solution I
search(ed) for has to be ANSI C compatible.

Thanks anyway!
