getopt under windows

[Markus Mayer]

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.)

Regards,
Markus

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.

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

and libapr has something in that area also:

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!

NetBSD/OpenBSD getopt(); getopt.h signature:
/* $OpenBSD: getopt.h,v 1.1 2002/12/03 20:24:29 millert Exp $ */
/* $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:
http://www.geocities.com/bsittler/

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

Asking news:comp.lang.c 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!
