- 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.

- 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.
