Dennis E. Hamilton commented on COR-26:
---------------------------------------
The link is to the last post in the thread.
I think it is clear that the Commons CLI is a Java library,
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-cli/
The APR apr_getopt functions are in C and described at the link
http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/1.5/group__apr__getopt.html and the build
instructions include CMake. It is not clear what they do about using current
VC compilers, etc.
Much experimentation is needed to see what the desired approach should be. It
will help to have an idea of what command-lines we want getopt for, as well.
> Recommend standard getopt_longs for the utilities

> It is recommended that the command-line utilities provided by Corinthia use a
> common getopt model with single-letter options, verbose word options and
> common shared options (--version, --help, etc.). stdin, stdout, and stderr
> should be redirectable (via the shell) and the utilities should work with
> pipes (with appropriate encoding caveats).
> The same flavors can be used for all platforms, with filenames given in
> platform-specific form (and "..." where needed) but parameters and options
> the same across platforms.
> The GNU getopt_long approach is widely-used.
