README.md

Ever thought about learning a new programming language, doing your first try with a command line program, and first of all you want to have some command line options? Maybe you have just an idea to do some difficult task in a small command line program, and of course you need options...

... but most of the time you have to reinvent the wheel?!

Why not using a small and easy library, which does exactly THAT task? Which gives you the possibility to fully concentrate on the original task to be done and developed?

This is a goal of this project.

The main goals of this project are a personal ones:

  • to have fun programming similiar behaving code in different languages
  • learning new programming languages through adding them to this repository

cmdlineoptions

A library for some languages handling commandline options in the dashed fashion.

Currently available as:

  • java
    • Currently available just as a Java class, within an eclipse project. :)
  • C
    • static/shared library
  • (C++ maybe coming soon...)
  • maybe other languages in the future?

It supports single dashed options like "-h", double dashed options "--help" and additional option alternatives. It has got automatic help handling of all configured options with "-h", "--help" and "-?".

In the end you can define your own commandline parameter style, because you define the option name yourself like 'CmdOptions.create("-myoption");' or '...create("+anotheropt")', etc.

The library - or better, the libraries - are planned to be consistent over all languages, so you are able to define and check and retrieve options with similar function calls.

Current work and future plans

Working on:

  • JUnit tests
  • Java: better errorhandling
  • Java: Examples
  • C version
  • Getting started
  • Unit tests
  • Some java improvements
    • get the improvments into the C version

Future plans:

  • C++ class version
  • haskell
  • ...
