  GNU Gengetopt

This program generates a C function that uses /getopt_long/ function to
parse the command line options, to validate them and fills a /struct/ .

Thus your program can now handle options such as:

myprog --input foo.c -o foo.o --no-tabs -i 100 *.class

And both long options (those that start with --) and short options
(start with - and consist of only one character) can be handled. For
standards about short and long options you may want to take a look at
the GNU Coding Standards <http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_toc.html> .

gengetopt is *free software*. Please see the file LICENSE and COPYING

the generated code: the code generated is not under any license_.

For installation, please read the INSTALL file.

For documentation, please read the info documentation.

gengetopt is perfect if you are too lazy (like me) to write all stuff
required to call getopt_long, and when you have a
program and wish it took options.

Generated code works if you use /GNU Autoconf/ or /GNU Automake/ .
