Parsing parameters to main()

Question

In C++, is there a well done, complete, open source implementation of a utility to parse the parameters of the main() function?

I wrote my own, and I saw many others around. But I was wandering if there is a better implementation available, which provides all the features expected from the corresponding executable.

Answer 1

• getopt
• boost program options
• Poco OptionSet/OptionProcessor

Answer 2

Boost provides an open-source implementation with ProgramOptions.

Answer 3

Take a look at this framework: CmdLine: a C++ option-parsing framework
