getopt function

[wjr]

We are looking to do a port of our software which runs on Solaris. Is
there a supported getopt? By supported, I mean by MS. If not, what
would be a good second choice.

We really don't want to change many hundreds of programs just for this....

I don't think so, but I'm not a expert in this area. I believe gcc does
support it, and I'm wondering if that might be a better choice for you.

No, I don't know of any command line parsing facility from MS comparable
to getopt.

There are open source implemenations of getopt, e.g.

http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/xgetopt.asp

No, there isn't. There are plenty of BSD-licensed getopt()s floating
around, though, and they would be a good place to start, seeing as they
are essentially free to use for any purpose.

We just grabbed one of the existing ones and modified it. So everything
is cool.

I found a nice getopt function for VC. See http://www.expertcore.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2129. I checked and it works fine.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
