The Lean Mean C++ Option Parser handles the program arguments (argc, argv). It supports the short and long option formats of getopt(), getopt_long() and getopt_long_only() but has a more convenient interface. It is a freestanding, header-only library with no dependencies, not even libc or STL. It comes with a usage message formatter that supports column alignment and line wrapping, making it ideal for localized messages with different lengths.
Features
- Header-only library. Just #include "optionparser.h" and you're set.
- Freestanding. There are no dependencies whatsoever, not even the C or C++ standard library.
- Usage message formatter that supports column alignment and line wrapping.
- Unlike getopt() and derivatives it doesn't force you to loop through options sequentially. Instead you can access options directly like this:
- if ( options[QUIET] ) ... //Test for presence of a switch in the argument vector:
- if ( options[FOO].last()->type() == DISABLE ) ... // --enable-foo/--disable-foo: last one used wins
- int verbosity = options[VERBOSE].count(); // -v verbose, -vv more verbose
- for (Option* opt = options[FILE]; opt; opt = opt->next()) // go through all --file=<fname> arguments

Passwordless Authentication and Passwordless Security
It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.
