Try the syntax: desc.add_options() ( "help", "print help message\n" ) ( "Long-Option-Name,o", ...); and then you have: --Long-Option-Name or -o as valid usages. On Dec 7, 2009, at 8:10 AM, Hicham Mouline wrote:
For command-line options, I understand from what I read so far that the options should be like --option_name=value
There is a system(I believe it is gnu) which has the long and short versions of options, like -h and --help Also, on winxxx systems, usually the command line options are indicated with a / like /? or /x /X ....
Is it possible to tune program_options to choose the platform's default way of treating options?
