| This is the popt(3) command line option parsing library. While it is similiar | |
| to getopt(3), it contains a number of enhancements, including: | |
| 1) popt is fully reentrant | |
| 2) popt can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays while | |
| getopt(3) makes this quite difficult | |
| 3) popt allows users to alias command line arguments | |
| 4) popt provides convience functions for parsing strings | |
| into argv[] style arrays | |
| Complete documentation on popt(3) is available in popt.ps (included in this | |
| tarball), which is excerpted with permission from the book "Linux | |
| Application Development" by Michael K. Johnson and Erik Troan (available | |
| from Addison Wesley in May, 1998). | |
