# tinyargs
Another commandline argument parser for C / C++.
This one is tiny, source only, and builds cleanly with `-Wall -pedantic` under C99 and C++11 on macOS, Linux and Windows.
See [header file](args.h) for reference docs.
Example use:
```C
#include "args.h"
#include
int main(int argc, const char** argv) {
static OPTDEFS(opts,
INTOPT("blurgAmount", "9"),
FLOATOPT("fudgeRatio", "-2.33"),
STRINGOPT("trunkPrefix", "-=-"),
BOOLOPT("help"));
if (!parseArgs(&argc, &argv, opts)) {
printf("Invalid option \"%s\".\n\n", argv[argc]);
printf(
"Usage: %s [options] [args]\n\n"
"Options:\n\n%s\n",
argv[0],
listOptions(opts));
return 42;
}
printf("Will operate on: [\n");
for (int i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
printf("\t%s\n", argv[i]);
}
printf("]\n");
printf(
"with a blurgAmount of %d, "
"a fudgeRatio of %f, "
"using trunkPrefix: %s, "
"%shelp requested.\n",
getIntOption(opts, "blurgAmount"),
getFloatOption(opts, "fudgeRatio"),
getStringOption(opts, "trunkPrefix"),
getBoolOption(opts, "help") ? "" : "no ");
}
```
```
$ ./example -fudgeRatio=3.14 -help A B C
Will operate on: [
A
B
C
]
with a blurgAmount of 9, a fudgeRatio of 3.140000, using trunkPrefix: -=-, help requested.
```
```
$ ./example -notAnOption=66
Invalid option "-notAnOption=66".
Usage: ./example [options] [args]
Options:
-blurgAmount= (default=9)
-fudgeRatio= (default=-2.330000)
-trunkPrefix= (default="-=-")
-help
```
