TCLAP is a small, flexible library that provides a simple interface for defining
|
||
|
|
and accessing command line arguments. It was intially inspired by the user
|
||
|
|
friendly CLAP libary. The difference is that this library is templatized, so the
|
||
|
|
argument class is type independent. Type independence avoids
|
||
|
|
identical-except-for-type objects, such as IntArg, FloatArg, and StringArg.
|
||
|
|
While the library is not strictly compliant with the GNU or POSIX standards, it
|
||
|
|
is close.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TCLAP is written in ANSI C++ and is meant to be compatible with any
|
||
|
|
standards-compliant C++ compiler. It is known to work on Linux, MacOS X,
|
||
|
|
Windows, and Solaris platforms. The library is implemented entirely in header
|
||
|
|
files making it easy to use and distribute with other software. It is licensed
|
||
|
|
under the MIT License for worry free distribution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TCLAP is now a mature, stable, and feature rich package. Unless I get really
|
||
|
|
bored, it probably won't see much further development aside from bug fixes and
|
||
|
|
compatibility updates. Please don't let any apparent project inactivity
|
||
|
|
discourage you from using the software!
