mosop / optarg Goto Github PK

As an experiment... But it's not clear to me how I correctly bring in the ARGC and ARGV from the command line into the option parsing.

Or do I totally misunderstand what I am doing? (I am an experienced programmer by the way.)

I've tried to use a few common names for options that haven't worked with optarg. Examples

• -1, eg to specify output on one line
• -A, eg to turn off whatever -a does
• punctuation, like -?
• other capital letters, like -D

What would it take to support those as options? I'm happy to assist in adding those capabilities if you're interested.

I have a use case where I want to create an OptArg model which checks for "sub commands" and then I find another OptArg model based on the subcommand.

At the moment, because any extra options besides the sub commands cause an UnknownOption exception to be thrown it prevents me from being able to elegantly handle things this way.

Is there room for a feature which allows for Silent unknown options? If so what would be the best way to implement so I can create a pull request?
