# Arghand - Argument handling single header library made with C++11

## Usage and documentation

### Documentation

Read Arghand\include\Arghand.h for documentation

### Example program

```cpp

#include 

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

    Arghand handler;

    std::vector options = {

        CMD_OPTION("h", "help",     HelpOptionDefault,      "",           "Display help information"),

        CMD_OPTION("v", "",  VersionOptionDefault,   "",           "Display version information"),

        CMD_OPTION("o", "output",   InputDefault,           "output.txt", "Specify output file"),

        CMD_OPTION("l", "list",     ListInputDefault,       "a,b",           "Specify a list of values (comma-separated)"),

    };

    handler.SetCmdOptions(options);

    handler.SetSeparator(',');

    handler.SetParserOptions(

        (ParserOptions::DefaultOptions |

        ParserOptions::VersionDisplayFooter )

//        & ~ParserOptions::HelpDisplayHeader

    );

    handler.SetApplicationName("Arghand-test_app");

    handler.SetHelpHeader("Arghand - A simple command line argument handler.");

    handler.SetHelpFooter("\nMaintained at https://github.com/Antonako1/Arghand.");

    handler.SetLicense("Licensed under the BSD-2-Clause License.");

    handler.SetVersion(handler.VersionNumToString(1, 0, 0));

    handler.SetVersionFooter("Maintained at https://github.com/Antonako1/Arghand.");

    

    Arghand::ParseResult res = handler.parse(argc, argv);

    if(res == Arghand::ParseResult::Error){

        std::cerr << "Error parsing command line arguments." << std::endl;

        return 1;

    }

    

    if(handler["o"]){

        std::cout << "Output file specified: " << handler.GetValue("o") << std::endl;

    } else if(handler["list"]){

        std::vector listValues = handler.GetValues("l");

        std::cout << "List values specified: ";

        for (const auto& value : listValues) {

            std::cout << value << ", ";

        }

        std::cout << std::endl;

    }

    

    return 0;
