|
23 parsing time of the library is directly proportional to the number of

Kaito Tokumori <e105711@ie.u-ryukyu.ac.jp>
parents:
diff
changeset

24 arguments parsed, not the number of options recognized. Additionally,
|
Kaito Tokumori <e105711@ie.u-ryukyu.ac.jp>
parents:

25 command line argument values are captured transparently into user defined

|
Kaito Tokumori <e105711@ie.u-ryukyu.ac.jp>

101 library uses a declarative syntax to model command line arguments with the

Kaito Tokumori <e105711@ie.u-ryukyu.ac.jp>
parents:

102 global variable declarations that capture the parsed values. This means that

Kaito Tokumori <e105711@ie.u-ryukyu.ac.jp>
parents:

103 for every command line option that you would like to support, there should be a
|
Kaito Tokumori <e105711@ie.u-ryukyu.ac.jp>
parents:
diff
changeset
|
