  • Support for -f,--flag
  • Tested on Windows,Linux

Usage

#include <stdio.h>
#include "tinyargs.h"

int main(int argc,char** argv)
{
	ArgTable argTable;
	InitArgTable(&argTable,argv,argc);

    // flag "-n, or "--name" + "Usage Comment" + "Default Value" + "Argument Type" + &Argtable
	NewArgument("-n", "Your Name", StrArg("Hello World"), ARG_STRING, &argTable);
	NewArgument("--age", "Your Age", IntegerArg(5),ARG_INT,&argTable);
	NewArgument("--ismale", "Check if male", BooleanArg(FALSE),ARG_BOOL,&argTable);

	Parse(&argTable);

	printf("%s\n", GetStrArg(&argTable, "-n"));
	printf("%d\n", GetIntArg(&argTable, "--age"));
	printf("%d", GetBoolArg(&argTable, "--ismale"));

	return 0;
}

• InitArgTable() to initialize the argtable
• NewArgument() this function adds a new argument to the table
• *Arg() these functions used for setting the default value for the flag
• Parse() to parse the flags
• GetArg* these functions to get the value for a flag
