This is a simple templatized C++ library for parsing command line arguments. The library provides a simple, flexible object-oriented interface to the command line that automates argument parsing, USAGE creation and type casting.

User Reviews

  • nice project. I was messing with older version until i saw the note that for gcc, newer version is available. thanks.
  • Very nice parser. May use cases need command line parsers rather than GUI ones. Respect to developer.

  • I settled on TCLAP after scouting for a while for a command line parser. It's simple to use, gave no warnings on gcc/msbuild under fairly strict options. I found it convenient to provide arg values by reference and I removed the traits bits to cut the boiler plate even further and shrink the amount of code to suit my taste. It speaks well of TCLAP design and implementation that I could make those changes in a very straightforward way.

  • Really nice, easy to use and extensible command line interface. I like the header-only-ness.
  • I've used this library for almost 10 years. It compiles warning-free under g++ using "-Wall -Weffc++ -pedantic -std=c++0x". It keeps parsing simple, allows for parameter ranges, and exclusive-OR argument specification.
