ArgParser is a very simple and primitive argument parser written in C ++. The .cpp file of the same name contains a basis for the simple and convenient creation of many arguments. The main file is just a test case of how it might look and work.
| Short form | Long form | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -h | --help | See Help. |
| -v | --version | Print version information. |
| -n | --number | Print number or numbers. |
| -l | --list | Print list content. |
| --elf | Elves only come in long (tall) form, there are no short elves. | |
| -d | D is for dwarfs. They are only in short form. |
First, open the Terminal, execute make, then mark the file as executable with
the chmod +x main command and run ./main <options>.
Note: such arguments as -n or -l (or their long forms) must be followed
by numeric or some symbolic values, otherwise the arguments after them will not work,
because they will be considered as symbolic or numerical values.
