Software


opt
is a subroutine library which facilitates the convenient input of parameters to a C or C++ program. Parameters are parsed from a command line, with further facilities for reading options from files, from environment strings, or from an interactive environment. The aim of the opt package is to permit programs to be both user- and programmer- friendly. The package attempts to on the one hand provide a direct and relatively full-featured input interface to the ultimate user of the program, and at the same time impose a minimal amount of work on the programmer to "attach" the package to his or her software. A texinfo file is part of the distribution; or you can view the html documentation.

Binary: opt-3.19-1.i386.rpm; Source: opt-3.19-1.src.rpm.
(Note that while opt-#.tar.gz installs by default in /usr/local, the rpm installs in /usr)

aparm
is a subroutine library which facilitates the convenient input of parameters to a C program. Parameters are parsed from a parameter input file, but can also be read from the command line. A log file is created, which contains details of the run, including date, time, parameter values used, and other messages produced by the program during its run.
More detail is provided in the postscript documentation.
Download the latest version: aparm-2.12.tar.gz.
