getopt_port

Kim Grasman kim.grasman@gmail.com

An original implementation of getopt and getopt_long with limited GNU extensions. Provided under the BSD license, to allow non-GPL projects to use getopt-style command-line parsing.

Built with Visual C++ and Clang on FreeBSD, but has no inherently non-portable constructs.

Intended to be embedded into your code tree -- getopt.h and getopt.c are self-contained and should work in any context.

Comes with a reasonable unit test suite.

• Full Win32 getopt port -- LGPL licensed.
• XGetOpt -- No getopt_long support.
• Free Getopt -- No getopt_long support.
