Here's how it is, Ed...
Real Programmers (tm) code to the bare metal. They don't use no stinkin' libraries. If you can't decode your command line arguments without some "support library" (a concept closely related to "support hose"), the Guild of Real Programmers recommends a nice job in investment banking where you'll never trouble your little head and the most damage you can do is to induce abject poverty and homelessness among the thousands of people who don't know about the only law that matters: Caveat Emptor.
I hope you found this little lecture informative, enlightening and inspirational.
Good luck with those command line arguments.

Howdy all! In the old days of libg++ there was something called GetOpt to help parse command line options. In these days of stdlibc++ it seems to be gone.What are well-dressed C++ programmers using to parse their command lines these days? Thanks! Ed
