mi-programoptions

This library is a small command line argument parser library for C++11 and later:

• it only handles strings
• it supports long options with --, short options with -, and positional arguments
• it avoids option name strings repetition by using option objects such that the compiler can find some typos

The library has no runtime dependencies beyond the standard C++ library.

The library uses mi-cpptest for the optional unit tests. In the CMake build, unit tests may be disabled by setting ENABLE_TESTS to 0.

Use with CMake

1. either include this as a subproject with ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(...), which will build a static library
2. or build and install and use FIND_PACKAGE(mi-programoptions), which will build a shared library

In both cases, link to mi-programoptions.

Use without CMake

As the library consists of only 3 code files, 1 of which tiny, it should be easy to use with other build systems.
