Arg_parser
Arg_parser is an argument parser that follows POSIX and GNU conventions for command line arguments. It is implemented as a C++ class, and is simpler, easier to use, and safer than "getopt_long". Arg_parser does not modify its arguments, nor does it use any global variables. So you may create more than one parser in your program if you need or want to. Arg_parser can also parse options from configuration files. A C language version is also available.
