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
getting close.
TCLAP in 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.
Happy coding!
